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!!

I would say it's in between. Very good quality, easy to work with and most important to anyone crafting with Paracord, it splices very good. I have never had any problems with Paracord Planet cord.

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

These are NOT 3/4" barb fittings, as I thought. the size is 5/8. this is 1/8" smaller than 3/4" for those who don't like math.

If I measured correctly, it is 3/8ths of an inch. If I measured incorrectly, I'd say it is 1/4 inch. [Wow, I just looked at another answer, and it measured much larger than I did. Mine is from the wall to the outside of the plug, but does not include the slight hump where the actual cord comes off the plug. Still, I measure no more than 1/2".]

Thank you for your inquiry. Upon physical inspection we agree with 1 1/8" diameter.

Depends on your overal length being used. Under weight, 550 paracord can stretch 1" per foot...slightly more if wet.

I used a digital vernier on 4 random pieces and got 0.22-0.23 in i.d. or 5.7-5.8 mm i.d., Atlantco "7-strand" 550 paracord is roughly 0.15 in o.d. or 3.8 mm o.d. for example (compresses too easily to get a vernier on) so regulation paracord easily passses thru the holes.

The rope that comes with it is 3/8" but I was able to fit a 1/2" rope through.

I have not used this product yet, but the spool says: 3/8" x 100'Hope this helps.

Easy to pick up from a hardware store. I think it's 3/8" but compare to a section of your existing cord when buying and check the WLL of the new cord.

I just purchased one along with a 100' spool of 750 paracord. The 750 paracord would not fit in the slots. I had to tie it off using the larger hole on the end of the tool located on the same side as the cutter. I was disappointed but still glad to have an all in one tool to organize and cut my paracord. Hopefully, they will design one specifically for the 750 paracord in the future.

It's pretty thin, about an inch wide without the paracord. I ended up just making a wooden handle for it. It has 2 holes in the tang, so you won't have to drill them out yourself.

It's 3/8". The gun is a good starter, but the catch for the cord sucks. Constantly comes loose and gets caught on things. Especially when scuba diving.
