What's the best size to use with a 1/2" rope? Load of 250 lbs max

I am guessing that it will depend on what the purpose of the carabiner is. It should be large enough to be comfortable in the hand if you are planning on having to change the rope or its position. I would suggest 3" at a minimum.

2500 or smaller is excellent for light tackle. I wouldn't get any size higher.

As my husband is the primary user, I asked him. He said that 1/2", which agrees with what previous reponders have said, is the max size he would use it on.

I would only go to 3/8, 7-21(12K WL but can actually handle close to 20K) that is already a greater capacity then the snatch block itself. one thing to keep in mind as you pull and increase the tension the cable may snap, to avoid a nasty situation, cut up and old bath towel and tie strips every 8-10 feet. If the line should break, the towels will cause it to drop rather then snap, like fly fishing. Hope this helped.

I actually used a 1/8'' piece of cable with mine. However you should be able to use a 1/2" piece of rope. I am not sure but 3/8 would either be the max on size or perhaps to large. Hope this helps.

I have 2 of these pulleys and I use 3/8" rope and it works fine. Not sure how 1/2" would work, though. There doesn't seem to be much room when I am using 3/8".

Not sure, I'm not lifting anywhere near that. I'd be curious how anyone can hold on to a small rope and pull with 666 lbs (6:1 mechanical advantage - and there is no brake or lock on this). If you need lifting of more than about 200 lbs, you'll probably want a winch for the rope.

Not this particular rope, you'll need something thicker made from manilla. If it's for lifting stuff find som3thing at a higher gauge if you need it to.lift people or animals ect find a nice synthetic.

The total circumference of the grommet whole is the size of a quarter. Like the Navy Vet, I used bungee cords to tie down to my RV. If I would have to use rope I would use the 1 inch as suggested by the Navy Vet as I know that would fit the grommet.

Mine is the 120". Tightening the rope should make it fit a smaller one just fine.

The rope is 3/8 but has a bit of stretch to it. I would not personally use it for the 2 ton rating. Maybe that only applies to the metal parts? Are you really lifting 2 tons though?

This should hold you. I would recommend buying a stronger like 500 lb paracord to be safe, but this should hold you. My rope tore so I gotparacord but I also am 6"3 235 lbs. I hope this helped!

No--Would not use for any rope over 1/2 unless you plan to insert the rope thru the opening and tie a simple knot.Bug-SC

I just got this rope recently myself and it is fairly thick, maybe a 1/4 inch. Definitely good for hanging anything.

If your rope is smaller than this, then I would say, yes, put on the thicker rope.

My Attwood, the same as this one, handles up to 12 lbs. and uses maximum 3/16" rope up to 100'. Two things to know before ordering.

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
