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!!

The sharpened part of the blade is 6 1/8 inches. Top of paracord wrap to tip is 7 3/4. Handle from top of paracord to butt is 4 1/4.

Oops! My bad. I just assumed the original poster measured the strap and I didn't measure it -- it is 1" not 3/4".

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

People putting it at 3/8" are way overestimating. I put it through a gauge. 11/32". Not that I'm AR or anything. :)

The diameter is 19/32" at the end (1/4" plastic cap). The entire end piece appears to be brass, a total of about 2 1/2" long including the plastic cap. The leading 3/4" is about 9/16" diameter. The next 1 1/4" is about 1/2" diameter. The last 3/8" tapers down to about 9/32" diameter. The cable is about 3/16" diameter. "More than you ever wanted to know", I guess.

This one was 1 3/8" long, but I'm pretty sure that they make them 1 3/4" as well. I think when we bought these, we debated about the longer one.

It's the chain thickness. 1/8 is slightly thicker than 3/32. You can use 1/8 chains with 3/32 cogs, but not the other way around.

Specs are listed in the product details. Hit MORE details to see it. Thread size is listed there too (1/8" NPT)

I can tell you that with the guts still in the paracord it's a super tight fit, if not nearly an impossible fit. So, while I haven't tried it, you should be okay. When in doubt, I'd knot the end before going into the loop and you'll be fine.

So that I could get a diameter that worked, I ordered the package of three. I don't know the diameter that I ended up using, but it probably is the 7/8" diameter. Mine has ridges on the side.

The webbing I am using actually measures 1 3/8 inches and the connection hardware measures 1 inch. Hope this helps. If not give me another holler....glad to assist!RBW

I used 3/8" but I am certain it will accept 1/2". These things are pretty sturdy - I was using them as force mulitpliers to pull down a tree and they did not pose any problems. My "pulley" background includes sailing tackle, and while they're not like a $100 main sheet pulley, they're pretty fn good

Most paracords are thicker and a lot stronger.This is also very stretchy and could not be used to hold and weight..It is use for hoods or sleeves.If you want a cord with stretch that is thin this is it.This cord also comes in thicker sizes.Which can be bought at Quest Outfitters but not this cheap.

The steel cable is 1/16" diameter. But the outside diameter of the vinyl coating is 3/32". I purchased cable clamps of sizes 1/16" which fiit fine, even a bit extra big. I would not purchase the cable clamps described as covering ranges 3/32" to 1/8" because they are way too big.

Lisa, I didn't ask what the paracord diameter was, I asked if I should double check the 100' measurement of my order, as several people have come up 7-10 feet short on their 100' orders. But thanks for the info, I appreciate it! JT.
