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!!

Diameter of the rope...sorta. I got the 1/8" ones and the rope is just a little thicker than 1/8", more like 3/16". I have seen the 1/4" ones in a store and they were almost 3/8" thick.

Not quite sure which hole this refers to but the hole in the strap where the end goes through to secure the strap in place is about 1/8" by 1/2". The loop formed is about 2" max and is dependent upon the size of the material that its secured to. For example a larger gauge wire will result in a smaller loop for tying up the cord.

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

yes it will work with paracord. the buckles on it are standard for most smaller projects like bracelets and small/med dog collars, key chains/fobs. It is adjustable for longer pieces as well. I believe you can swap for larger buckles if needed. Good Luck!

I definitely would. I've bo bought paracord from different brands and sometimes ended too short. This particular brand I did fine with.

It is 1/4 inch thread for both camera mount and tripod mount. Read Charles C's answer carefully, he said 3/8 is used on pro equipment, not in this small head.

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

One point of confusion here is that the description had this as a 5.5mm x 2.1mm, but, the photo has the embedded text indicating it is a "DC 5.5/2.5mm". Both are a common size of connector. Not claiming an answer to the question here, just pointing out a spot of confusion.

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) .

The label does not give the manufactures' name. it does list the military specifications, and says that they have been manufacturing paracord for the U.S. Military since 1942. Contact lifesavertools@gemall.com with any more questions.

NO! Climbing/rappelling ropes are 8-11mm in diameter and rated in the *7500* lbs break test range - a factor of 15. Also Paracord has elasticity of up to 30% under heavy load. A static rope i.e. very little elasticity is what is preferred for rappelling. Even if you quadrupled braided it, I would not use it unless my life was severely threatened by not trying a rappel - any then, doubled, tripled or more..

Specs are listed in the product details. Hit MORE details to see it. Thread size is listed there too (1/8" NPT)

Sounds about right. The paracord is light but strong. The clips are light and the rings are the only thing that are some what "heavier". But 8oz sounds about right.

The regular cord diameter is 3/16". It doesn't flatten much compared with commercial paracord when tightly wound.
