Anyone know the strength or weight of pull on the 1/2" cord?

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

I bought my cord at a local hardware store, and it was a heavy 12/3 cord. I've used that on my Sun Joe mower and roto-tiller for 3 seasons now with no problems to either motor.

3/8 should work fine, if you want more piece of mind, use the 1/2 cord. I am amazed at the strength of the 3/8 red cord.

A cord of wood is 128 cubic feet by definition and typically weighs 5,500 pounds or thereabouts. I would think the operator would be the limiting factor as it will split all you can get to it and away from it. To load and remove split wood you have to hnddle 11,000 pounds per cord. I cannot do this in an hour for one cord. So the splitter can handle more than you can, which is less tan a cord per hour.

It is about the diameter of a typical construction extension cord so it seems fairly heavy duty. I wouldn't run a cart over it without protection. We have had no problems with its durability.

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.

It is light. I cannot handle heavy things and cannot pull a cord for gas powered equipment. BUT, I would NOT get this one - I have always gotten the 12 inch until this one and I am extremely disappointed in this because it does not cut well and the cord does not automatically advance like it is suppose to.

It is very heavy duty . I used to winch some cars & did the job. I needed something that would take 1/2 cable . This fit the bill

It is not hard to manage the cord. It reminds be of using an upright vacuum cleaner, and not any heavier!

I am responding but I am not the company, I bought this cord. I felt like it did break pretty quickly and I was planning to order a stronger one.

Hi Atilla, Sorry I didn't see this question long ago! Must be my old eyes or something. ; - ) There is a range at which our 750lb Type 4 Mil Spec cord fails/breaks. Generally speaking... that is somewhere between 760 and 820+ pounds. Why the range? Well, even though we ONLY sell Mil Spec cord, there are still variations in the yarns that necessitate an honest disclosure about the break strength. In reality... no two cords are ever identical due to variations in the nylon manufacturing process. That said; our cord always exceeds the 750lb minimum break strength... sometimes it exceeds it by more than other times. Thanks, Bill... TOUGH-GRID

Take a look at this one: http://www.amazon.com/Fusion-2-Rescue-Pulley-Blue/dp/B008KECIRG Breaking strength is 34 kilonewton, or roughly 7500 pounds, and it is designed to accept up to a 5/8" rope. NOTE: It is aluminum, so it cannot be used with a steel winch cable.

Check the lb/pull or draw weight, the one I have is the Covert cx2- it has a 200 lb pull. I believe there are sister models with a little less-185 or 165. Hope that helps.

The 550 cord is rated for 550LB. I'm sure your going to use more than one strand of cord. I would say it would hold 400LB. I used it to pull a car with it was the only thing I had in my truck we had to wrap it around the shackle to the ball hitch 10 times. pulled the car 8 miles home.

It's much thinner and it's at least as strong. Also doesnt stretch much and doesn't melt. If you need some really strong cord to keep in a small space it's worth it.

The string is very easy to pull. My daughter-in-law has one she uses frequently, has not had a problem with the string. It is made to last for a long time.
