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!!

It is can accept a 3/8" quick connect. If you don't have 3/8" quick connect, you may be able to buy one or just replace your ends.

It's a very long cable. I traced mine from under the front seat of my Jeep Wrangler to the back and up the top of my rack, still having extra left over. The diameter is not 3/8" - at least the one I have isn't. Mine is 1/8" DIA. max. But you don't need a huge cable (dia.) - it's for an antenna! :0)

I just measured mine to make sure and it is 1 3/8", I think it may have shrunk or stretched a bit over the almost two years I've used it as I seem to remember it being 1 1/2" when it was new. This is not to say that they're all the same. Mine carries quite a load but has held up well.

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

Paracord is typically rated for 30% stretch (although Ithat is under some serious tension) . It will elongated over time under load (a feature to add some elasticity to a hanging paratrooper). As for the rest of the things you describe paracord won't mildew/mold and relatively weather resistant. The knots will hold but make sure you using knots that work well with slippery cord. At the very least you will want to throw an overhand knot at the running ends of your knots as stoppers. And strength shouldn't be an issue. You may want to use nylon straps as they will probably work better in this case. Paracord is typically rated for 30% stretch (although Ithat is under some serious tension) .

Depending on how tightly you wrap, 25' should cover it. The grip is roughly 6". 550 paracord is 4mm (5/32 inches) thick.

It's not Para cord (550 cord) its nylon I replaced it and its a great knife easy to sharpen holds an edge for a while and you can't beat the price. It's a great buy for your buck

Biggest I go with is 3/32" cable and sleeves so not sure about 1/8". I don't think so, though. It's nice and portable for what we do. Next step up you're going with the big swagers. This fits in a belt or bucket.

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.

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.

Well from my experience Paracord either comes as Nylon Paracord or Polyester Paracord. They have the same "Break" strength but nylon is a bit more flexible and costs more. So to answer your question....Yes it is wrapped in paracord, I just don't know what material.

The diameter of the spool the roll is on is 3/8 inch, as the other answer indicates, the roll with tape is 2 3/4".

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.

Engineer here: definitely not 1/8". I am not sure how the other are measuring. I am getting 0.059" to 0.063" with a digital caliper which puts it close to 1/16".
