What is the strech ability? My last order somewhere else stretched 6 inches on a 24" cord. Very poor. It was a 1/4" cord. Now I want 5/16"

I've ordered and use 3/16, 1/4, & 5/16, and am beyond happy with all of them. 6" stretch on 24" cord is OK, not bad. You may be expecting more than this is designed to do? Sorry I couldn't help you any more, I am happy with all of these. Ken Hockin, Alvin, Texas

When you say you get 6 inches on a 24" cord, is that a certain weight pull, or to full resistance, or to breaking point. I don't know about mine, never tested it. But the stretch seemed appropriate for the size of the cord. I have used it in awning tie-downs, tent tie-downs, and re-stringing a zero-gravity chair. All worked well.

I have found that the diamond braid from sgt knot stretches about 100% of it's length and then back to original length. I like this product.

Hi Gary, I honestly haven't taken a tape to it but I'd say on the project I used it for maybe 3-4" Sorry for the vague answer just wasn't concerned with how much it stretched on the particular project I had. Hope this helps.

24 inches or so. The same length of original mike cord. Will stretch to maybe 4 feet at most.

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

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

Yes, it does stretch, but not like a bungee cord. If you need low/no stretch try Amsteel.

The fabric only on mine currently measures 53". I'm sure its stretched, its certainly seen hard play here. Its lasted better than any other.

I assume the 24.5" belt is loose and slipping. Here's an important tip. A belt of medium elasticity should stretch between 3% and 5% between the "relaxed" circumference, and the circumference it attains when stretched and on the pulleys. Many belts sold online are too tight. The reason for this is that there's a myth, largely created by TV servicers and often supported by recommendations from a catalog created by the Projector/Recorder Belt Corp., that belts should be tight. If you service turntables and tape recorders, as I have for forty years, you learn that tight belts kill motors. So . . . a 23.6" belt stands a good chance of working as long as it's fairly stretchy.

I'm not a good source to ask.The Ad said it was an 8 foot cord. They sent me a 6 foot cord; I had to return it.

Mine is stretched out over 16' but I do not believe you will have an issue? If so, simply shorten the cord as Dennis said in an earlier reply. You will do great. Great Shopper!

I got a 3' cord when I expected a 9' cord (same item number as my old one, which was 9'). Am returning. Most of the cables I have seen are 6'.

Hello Sarah, if you were to take the band end to end stretched out as far as it could go, it is approximately 15". I hope this helps. Feel free to call me for samples if needed. 800-473-0732 ext 202. My name is Tricia and I would be glad to help you. Thank you for your inquiry. We look forward to hearing from you soon. Have a great day.

24" tip to tip, unraveled in it's coiled state; 42" maximum effective stretch ( my estimate, I believe, before it will pull out of my LGG2 and be rendered ineffective). Don't forget, over stretching this cable will compromise internal wiring on head and tail section.

I saw someone put less than 3 ft. Absolutely wrong. it's at least 6 feet. without knowing the exact measurement I am about 5'10" and i held this cord up to me and from plug to tin tips it was longer than me.

Aaron, unstretched the cord is about 2 ft. Stretched it's almost 4 ft. If you need one a little more heavy duty, check the hand mike for the Wouxun at Powerwerx. Iv got one and it works great on the BaoFeng. Hope this helps.

Instructions say it stretches to six feet but I have never used that stretch feature. It is a coil and great to lock your laptop and prevent someone from taking off with it when it is secured to a stationary object.

This cord is way over kill for what your need. U will wear yourself out dragging it around. Get a 14ga 100ft Husky from the Home Depot and forget about it.
