Hey TOUGH-GRID, what were the results of your tensile strength test's of your cord? What weight did it hold up to?

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

The only rating specs I know are those in the product description. I've loaded the unit to probably 1000 lbs and the rope held. The biggest problem was how much the rope stretched - at least 50 percent.

I had company here last weekend. Normally I am the only one lying in it 115 lbs, but a 200 lb man and his 30 lb son were I it so I know it can hold at least that. I have it hanging from trees with small cable. I love this one. Have had another. I leave this in weather and it has held up grt.

Not sure exactly, seemed like 4-6 lb test. Should warn you that when I pulled it off to put spider wire on the line that it came with had a lot of memory and curled so tight I'm not sure if warm overnight soak would've cured it. When I bought a couple of em I didnt even realize it came pre-spooled. I just bought it because it was such a great price and we've been getting some good use out of em (with the spider wire).

Hello Ash, Thank you for your inquiry. It really is up to you, if you want to use something a little heavier depending on the project this is the Elastic Cord to use. Also it is easier to tie this one at the end into a knot. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with. Kind Regards, Elsie Customer Service Representative S&S Worldwide

Yes, I have used it for many projects, and it seems to be holding up. (I make paracord items and also bracelets) Hope that helps.

Feels like 10 pounds with cord attached. Both husband and wife use it never a problem with the weight.

YES! All of my cords are 12 gauge, but the one I have on this reel is only 25'. However , I believe it will hold 50' easily. NOTE-I especially like the 'tabs' on the edge of the reel which allows it to stand stationary on a flat surface without rolling away.

Yes. I weigh 155 and it bent when I was half way up a 15' wall testing it out. I then straightened it out and welded the tines together at the main shank. It's working great now. I have used it about 10 times. Climbing 10-30 feet. I changed the rope of course. To reach the higher limits I tied a string to a large nut and tossed that over a tree limb and then attached the grapple and pulled it over. Be safe! Roy

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.

When I first got mine I weighed 300# and I have never had a problem with it holding up,, I have had it a little of 6 months now. Works great!

You're talking about the Pilates cords, right? I have no idea what 4 are in lbs., but four cords are waaaay too much for me. I never use more than 1 or 2 cords. You could call them and ask.

Not sure. Pretty heavy-same or better than power cords for my office equipment.

I'm using spider wire FluroBraid 30lb, so far it's been pretty good, a couple of wind knots but they're easy to pull apart.

I have three in use right now on my patio and so far, so good. But it's only been a few weeks. I will have to report back after a few months to give you a true answer. The cords do seem sturdy.

I'm not sure I can answer that question properly, but I will give it a try. Although it is thinner than other cables I have used, when I fished it up the wall to the TV port, I was not at all hesitant to pull on the cord when it snagged in the wall. It pulled through without a problem. Additionally, it felt really well built and solid .
