Anyone know the strength or weight of pull on the 1/2" cord?

No I don't, but I use a lot of bungie cords, different sizes from 3/16, 3/8, & 7/16, and all of them are strong, never broke any! I'm assuming 1/2 inch would pull a car if you needed to? I'm sure it will meet your need. I used 3/8 & 7/16 to hold a tarp down on the top of a 10 X 20 building and they lasted over 6 months. Ken Hockin Alvin, Texas

probably weighs 2-3 lbs. cord is 12' long, unit is 13-14' long. easily reaches all parts of the back and legs. a really excellent buy.

I'm not sure about a pull cord, I think you're looking at the steel handle that's hanging down. That is a steel arm (with an L in it so you can turn it) that connects to the bolt on the main housing. You turn the bolt to raise or lower the rim. Once installed the whole thing is pretty bulletproof. I've had it at 8' and at 10', and it's strong. The backboard will rattle after a few months of heavy use. I've found that adding black duct tape to the edges dampens the vibration and cuts down on rattle noise.

I didn't pull too hard but it didn't come apart easily. Good luck with your project.

The 550 cord is rated for 550LB. I'm sure your going to use more than one strand of cord. I would say it would hold 400LB. I used it to pull a car with it was the only thing I had in my truck we had to wrap it around the shackle to the ball hitch 10 times. pulled the car 8 miles home.

It is light. I cannot handle heavy things and cannot pull a cord for gas powered equipment.BUT, I would NOT get this one - I have always gotten the 12 inch until this one and I am extremely disappointed in this because it does not cut well and the cord does not automatically advance like it is suppose to.

I wouldn't advise that. the tension on the pull would be enough to pull the cord apart or you'd constantly find yourself pausing to pull-release-pull-release to get it to catch at one of the stop points. Buy a goat instead, or just wait for global warming to incinerate your lawn. At last with one you get a meal when the zombie apocalypse happens.

No, it isn't flimsy. But, it is somewhat hard to wind up a heavy duty cord. I have a 12/3 15 amp 50' cord I use on the item. It takes a bit of effort but it is well worth it to have this reel to store it on. I'd recommend it.

1875. And stronger than other cord keepers I've tried. My favorite so far :)

Way more than strong enough. The problem I had was that they shorted me something like 8 inches so I couldn't use it for my application. Keep in mind that it will stretch when stressed. I used it to pull 250 lbs and at 25 feet it stretched several inches. For a couple of feet and with multiple strands stretching won't be an issue.

3 cords each side each cord does not terminate except in a handle, which means you can pull the top right and bottom right with an arm and a leg at the same time. This changes the overall load on each cord, which makes the "pull weight" vary. Nominally, the narrow cord is a 25 lb pull, then a 35 lb then a 50 lbon each side comes with a complete guide so you can use it on the muscles you want. It comes completely assembled, just hang it on a door, put the 2 pull handles where you want them, and go. BTW, Buy it on the web, new, for 1/3

It's much thinner and it's at least as strong. Also doesnt stretch much and doesn't melt. If you need some really strong cord to keep in a small space it's worth it.

i have the same question, can the factory provide some guidance? Several owners advised about the 50' reel spring not being strong enough to retract the cord properly. Thanks, Dave C

This isn't designed to pull a certain weight... just harmonic balancers. It will pull the balancers off the specific vehicles just fine. I've used mine lots. Its great quality.

I've used then to pull the entire stack (200lbs) on a cable machine and they help it for multiple sets. So if that's any indication of their strength then you should be good.

Aloha,Well you got me there.I sent mine back for lack of power, any pressure on the belt brought it to a dead stop.But if I were to hazard a guess I would say 2".I hope that this will help with your question.
