Has anyone actually seen a GENUINE tensile strength test of this stuff? If so what was the breaking strength?

We've seen results from an independent test facility. They performed their tests at the end of 2013. They lowest weight at which the cord broke was just over 800 lbs, and the highest weight was just under 900 lbs. If you read the feedback comments here, you will find several other folks who performed their own tests and got similar results.

I cannot honestly answer that question as I have never encountered an issue with this item breaking. I apologize I don't have a more informed answer.

I haven't tried. They seem to be so very fragile. If you try it let us know what happened. Judie Johnson

NO. It's very strong. I have ordered many of these and everyone loves them.

I have done several tests and perform a small production where we used and gave good results. To stabilize it is not easy and takes time all depends equipment and accessories to add. I hope you have served my answer. greetings.

Have had success with wood and metal so far. Haven't tried plastic or similar products, oscillates at a fairly high speed, would think brittle surfaces could pose a problem. Worth experimenting with tho'.

Ours broke so soon I don't remember. But I think it was real.... Thin though.

They are one of the strongest i have ever had to pry apart. I have two of them on my lines one at the master intake and one at my water heater. and believe it or not they work like a champ. Takes about 30 days or so to notice. Dosent answer your actual question so my apologies as i dont know the strength. Stacy

No I do not think the product is strong enough for this application. I would buy something more heavy duty.

Yes, it is very durable and holds zero excellent. There is a video on youtube of a guy torture testing it, and its amazing the abuse it can take! I encourage you to check it out.

Jonathan...Hi I can't tell you the break strength but I can tell you we slide pallets up to 3,000 pounds frequently from deep inside 50 foot trucks to the front with no issues. I have been extremely pleased with my purchase. I don't know what you are using it for but the price is certainly not prohibitive. Reno

Well mine also broke when my wife used it on a heavy duty screw. I would suggest you limit its usage on it capacity.

You would have to be an engineer or at least have a mechanical force gauge handy to know for sure. In practice, we haven't had any of them break and I think it would require abuse that is beyond the capability of our 5 year old and her friends to inflict. If you want to send me a few bucks to cover replacement costs I will be happy to attack a few samples with a hammer and publish the results.

Mine broke during this particular exercise. It hurt LOL. I bought the 4 pack from home complete afterwards and haven't had an issue yet.

Mine is pretty strong. I didn't try to bend it or anything but it didn't break when I put it on or from daily wear and tear. I would maybe request them to send you a new one.

The webbing is tightly woven but I have no idea of the minimum breaking strength. The manufacturer is the best resource for this question. I used it to create a woven support for a shopping cart I was fixing. That has been a very strong configuration for carrying a lot of groceries. I guess it depends on what loads you need and whether or not you are using it singularly or in a weave as I have done. I find it to be very strong.

I doubt it. It's strong but I don't know about that strong. Why would you test that though? Lol
