Anyone know the strength or weight of pull on the 1/2" cord?

No I don't, but I use a lot of bungie cords, different sizes from 3/16, 3/8, & 7/16, and all of them are strong, never broke any! I'm assuming 1/2 inch would pull a car if you needed to? I'm sure it will meet your need. I used 3/8 & 7/16 to hold a tarp down on the top of a 10 X 20 building and they lasted over 6 months. Ken Hockin Alvin, Texas

This is a very lightweight tool at 5.5 lbs. It is electric so you will need to use it with an extension cord. Users of all types can operate this tool.

I would not recommend trying to support the weight of anything from the electrical plug/cord. The cords I received are quite tight on the female end, but the male end, (blades), were never designed to support weight. I have attached restraints to keep the 1 foot cords in place within an portable cabinet. I used plastic zip ties. In this manner, there is no additional weight placed on either the cord plug, or the outlet. There are companies that make retainers to prevent cords from pulling apart, but they are normally seen on construction sites where tools are being used repeatedly and the guys just pull the cord along with the tool. Mostly the cord is tied into a knot for this purpose. For the laptop power supply, I would try to extend it to either the floor, or another location to allow the supply cord to rest on. I hope this helps, and good luck!

Take a look at this one: http://www.amazon.com/Fusion-2-Rescue-Pulley-Blue/dp/B008KECIRG Breaking strength is 34 kilonewton, or roughly 7500 pounds, and it is designed to accept up to a 5/8" rope. NOTE: It is aluminum, so it cannot be used with a steel winch cable.

It is a fairly static rope with about a 2% stretch or so at the most. 2 feet will stretch about half to 3/4 of an inch when pulled hard. I don't know if it would stretch more with continues load but I don't think so

I've never weighed it but it seems accurate. I would say it's weight is average amongst other cords.

No, it isn't flimsy. But, it is somewhat hard to wind up a heavy duty cord. I have a 12/3 15 amp 50' cord I use on the item. It takes a bit of effort but it is well worth it to have this reel to store it on. I'd recommend it.

I am responding but I am not the company, I bought this cord. I felt like it did break pretty quickly and I was planning to order a stronger one.

3/8 should work fine, if you want more piece of mind, use the 1/2 cord. I am amazed at the strength of the 3/8 red cord.

I have not experienced any pulling. The light weight DC cord is also easier to manipulate than the far thicker and less flexible than that of any corded clippers I have used.

It is 20 pound cord which makes the thickness between about 1mm or .04" thick.

I have a 1/2 ton pickup and it measures around 83 inches to pulley. I used it also on my Polaris Ranger and had no problem getting the deer swung over the edge of its bed. That is with the legs tied together. Hope this helps!

The pulley block weighs more than 1.6 lbs. probably more like 7-8lbs. I use this on a 4500lbs winch when I need a snatch block setup to pull my 1400lbs side-by-side out.

About two pounds, enough to pull it to the bottom. The one I had was a struggle to use as it was too light. this one works well.

I think it will work cause the cord is like a standard size cord. It seems very strong.

It is light. I cannot handle heavy things and cannot pull a cord for gas powered equipment. BUT, I would NOT get this one - I have always gotten the 12 inch until this one and I am extremely disappointed in this because it does not cut well and the cord does not automatically advance like it is suppose to.

I'm not sure if the exact answer, but the cord is a well braided sheath and I would say I could easily hold several pounds safely.
