How much rope does it sore?

the rope that comes on the unit is all it can handle. It is either 40 ft or 50 ft!

About 100' of the size which comes with it larger rope less rope. I wouldn't recommend more than 75 because it lacks the ability to control even loading bunches up sometimes and jams

DeckHand 40 has a 40-lb anchor capacity (anchor not included) and is pre-spooled with 100 feet of 800-lb test nylon rope.

My 75 pound nephew has, and has survived! I weigh in at 230 pounds... I wouldn't dare try using it. The nylon rope appeared very strong, but I think it had a weight restriction.

The instructions only tell you the usual (stand on rope and adjust it so the end of handles are 6inches under collar bone) but if you're around 5'5 or under there will be lots of excess rope and this rope is not at all easily cut! Even bolt cutters wouldn't do it for me and when I eventually (finally) cut one end off I was left with a twisted mangled mess where it was cut!

It's not too think but not thin enough to feel any pain if the string hits the leather. I love mine.

Hi, I would use a 2" rope. The reason The 2" rope is heavyer than the 1.5" rope. You will get a better workout.

You also have to look at how high the seat of the chair you will be sitting is. I have 32 inches of play on the rope.

It was quite easy to remove the old wrap. If you don't, you will use much more rope than you think it will take, and may not get it as tightly wound. If you do as you are suggesting, please let us know how it goes.

It does hurt somewhat. It hurts my hip bones more than my back. It's not padded. It is wrapped in colored tape pieces similar to ribbon. The weight (2lbs.) offers a bit of a workout but it can be a little painful. Overall, I like it.

It weights 3 1/2 lbs & rolls up nice, about the size of a 6x8 tarp rolled up, 14 in long & 6 in wide. I will only use it a few times a year, so its fine for me. I would get some better rope though, it comes with very thin & weak rope. Other than that, it perfect for 1-2 people.

I honestly don't recall how long the provided rope was because I replaced it with a stronger, smaller diameter rope immediately, which permitted me to use a 16 ft rope.

If you're using that many then yes 3/8 rope will be fine. 2 or less you'd want bigger size

1 1/2" X 40' is what I have. If you are a world class athlete, ultra marathoner, MMA type, you might want a 50' rope. Great addition to workout regime. 10-12 minutes gets every muscle you missed with your regular exercises, and gets you so revved up that you have energy to spare. Not sure why, but even though you are fatigued after use, you do not get tired/sleepy--maybe it's the endorphins or something, but different from every other exercise technique I've ever done.

No obvious oil on the rope. Feels quite dry. It is pretty rough on the hands though. BTW, if you are looking for a climbing rope 3/4 inch is not thick enough in my opinion.

It really depends on how much he pulls. I have 2 English bulldogs that really pull when walking them and I found that this leash gave me the worst rope burns because there is no good way to hold on to it. There is no padding to grip so if your dog makes any sudden movement, the leash will slip through your hands and it's painful. The leash did help to tone down on the pulling but not entirely and they ended up almost choking themselves out. I don't even use the leashes anymore and went back to using their harnesses.

It isn't specified in the rope tips, but I did a quick search and found 9.2kn

I like a good nylon rope that is no less than 3/8" in diameter. Any smaller than that then the rope cuts into your hands when you hoist up the anchor. If you go too big of a rope then it won't fit through the anchor hole plus you waist you money. Good nylon rope is not cheap. I think 3/8" to 1/2" is fine for me.

There is no visual for how much tension is applied. There is an audible click as you increase the tension. The manufacture claims each click is 1 pound. So if you count the clicks you can repeat how many pounds of traction you are using. I love using it, and it makes me feel better afterward. However, do not over do it. Gradually increase the amount of traction you use each time until you find your sweet spot.
