How much 550 Paracord is needed to replace the wrapped handle? Would 25' be enough?

I'd say it depends on your wrapping method when you weave your grip but the handle itself is basically just the tang. Its fairly short (not more than a palm) and it's basically the thickness and width of the blade. You might want to test out your chord as well because the machete's smooth finish might cause your grip to slip unless you have a nice tight knotting. Although potentially gunky, you might also want to consider cutting a base of tennis racket grip foam tape and then wrapping that if you plan on wielding the blade in sweeping continuous movements, rather than controlled single swipes. Mine has just the chord it came with and it feels pretty good. I've also been sharpening the blade considerably to keep a fine edge.

I didn't measure the wire but I would guess it is about 5/16" thick. It definitely is thicker than the 3/16" that a previous answer gave you. I do not know the length but it probably is 50'. Sure, you could easily replace the cable with rope and that has given me an idea - I think I will do just that and when I do I'll bet I can get a lot longer reach with it. I wish the base were a little larger - in order to bolt the winch to anything you have to spool out all (or almost all) the wire to access the bolt holes in the small base.

It's been a while since I installed the handles but, if memory serves, the cable was at least 30" long.

I do not think it can be wrapped simply because, the cable is designed to swivel around the base. If it is any consolation I thought 20' was going to be longer than I desired too however, it turned out to be exactly what I needed. I hope this helps!

Just buy some heavy duty braided rope...like para cord, 50 or 100 ft. for just a few dollars, much better than a cheap plastic rope.Hope tis helps

The D handle is riveted. You'd have to drill it out and put in a bolt. I'm not sure it's worth the trouble. It is a great shovel though.

yes....save your old hardware from old handle to transfer it to new one..special locking clips that hold the rods in place,becareful not to break any.

Depends on your overal length being used. Under weight, 550 paracord can stretch 1" per foot...slightly more if wet.

Do not understand the question if it came unscrewed screw it back. Chapin sell almost every part you may need. I added 25ft of hose with a few clamps and fittings. To answerer your question need more information.

Depends on the handle , you have to heat the handle to the point where the solder will flow into the repair ,if your material is too thin where your heating it could simply melt away.

Yes - Youl will have to vist the manufacturers website (or search on amazon.com a little bit more) to buy a replacement handle. I think there are more cold steel products that use this particular wooden handle.

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

27 feet is the length listed on the manufacturer's website as the replacement cable, so I would go with 25 feet as the cable length for it as packaged.

I used the.bolts that were included. U could use the old ones from your other handle or take the ones included with the new handle to a hardware store and ask if they have some bolts like those. Good luck.

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'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.
