Most paracord, including virtually everything else offered by this seller, is ~3/8" diameter, yet the description here says 1/8". Is this a typo?

The specs on 550 paracord is closer to 3/16". I think the technical specs for 550 paracord are 4.3 mm or 0.169". This is very close to a standard size paracord, but may be a tiny bit thicker than china made paracord. It is not 3/8"

It's either a typo or someone was heavy handed with a pair of calipers for measurement. I've ordered 100' sections to 1000' spools from them and everything has been exactly what I expected. 3/8 sounds a little big for a measurement to me but I haven't ever actually checked the diameter. Either way it's the same diameter as all other 550 paracord I've worked with and seemed better quality than some others I've found.

I believe that the 3/8 is usually the buckle size used. There is a size difference in 550 & 450 paracord!!

We don't splice our Paracord anywhere. That said; our 1000 Footers "May come in up-to two sections." It sometimes happens but we avoid it. All of our other lengths 50, 100, 200 and 500Ft. are guaranteed continuous with no splices. Bill... TOUGH-GRID

It is one lonnng piece if cording! Not sure what you mean about the strands. The cording contains strands inside I never counted them. A group I am associated with used thus cord to made para cord bracelets for the Army soldiers to out in shipped gift boxes. Soldiers said they were a welcomed item, even if we over estimated the average wrist size!

I think so; give me a day or so, will try a short demo and get back to you. Have you considered usin 275 "tactical" paracord?

Very, very little stretch, if any at all. This is a "static" (I think that's the term!) cord. It's formed with a core of 7 two ply yarns, mostly white. The core iswrapped in the colored woven sheath. After you cut a piece, you will need to singe the ends to melt them to keep them from unraveling. There are severaltypes of paracord, but this answer refers specifically to the the cord I bought.

yes it will work with paracord. the buckles on it are standard for most smaller projects like bracelets and small/med dog collars, key chains/fobs. It is adjustable for longer pieces as well. I believe you can swap for larger buckles if needed. Good Luck!

It has a pretty strong spring so it will go down to a small size. My max size is 1/8 for shock cord. When you melt / char the end of the chord to prevent it's unraveling, the melted end will barely pass through the lock, so I would say 1/8 is about max. I tried a heat shrinkable cap on the end, but it would not pass through the lock. I have used the locks on regular elastic shoe laces before I bought the shock cord. Even when the elastic inside the shoe lace had broken, and just the braided outer cover was all that was holding, the lock still held and prevented the lace from slipping.

I have a roll of this wire. When put up next to a tape measure, it looks to be about as close to 1/16" as possible (about 1.5 millimeters). David VA

no , the dia. is smaller . but this tough-grid 750 paracord is probaly more that the strenth you need, for a small dia. cord .

i've ordered two 1000' black paracords. I've received two different types of 1000' black paracord. One roll is with 7 white strands, the other has 7 white strands and 1 orange. What I use this for is to make flask carriers. My preference is the "7/1". I would like to request an order for the "Commercial Black 1000' " roll. Is there any chance when I order this, my request will be honored? It works better with the commercial grade when tying the knots (smaller).

4mm is correct. the 1inch is probably for shipping concerns or because the form they were using only allowed inches and the smallest being 1" The product is actually only 4mm in thickness.
