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!!

The rope that comes with it is 3/8" but I was able to fit a 1/2" rope through.

Yes. Each section of paracord is approximately 10 feet in length. You need around 1 foot of paracord per inch of wrist measurement to be sure you don't run out before you finish. The amount left over has never been enough to make 2 bracelets out of the same section (unless you're making them for very young children). Hope this helps.

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

Lisa, I didn't ask what the paracord diameter was, I asked if I should double check the 100' measurement of my order, as several people have come up 7-10 feet short on their 100' orders. But thanks for the info, I appreciate it! JT.

We don't splice our Paracord anywhere. That said; our 1000 Footers "May come in up-to two sections." It sometimes happens but we avoid it. All of our other lengths 50, 100, 200 and 500Ft. are guaranteed continuous with no splices. Bill... TOUGH-GRID

I have bought this myself. It is 1/2" X 1/2" 19 gauge. Didn't even notice the error in the product description. The title is correct.

Everything works fine with the 750lb paracord except the notches to tie off/lock the cord. The cord is too big for those notches.

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..

The steel cable is 1/16" diameter. But the outside diameter of the vinyl coating is 3/32". I purchased cable clamps of sizes 1/16" which fiit fine, even a bit extra big. I would not purchase the cable clamps described as covering ranges 3/32" to 1/8" because they are way too big.

I think so; give me a day or so, will try a short demo and get back to you. Have you considered usin 275 "tactical" paracord?

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

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

It's the chain thickness. 1/8 is slightly thicker than 3/32. You can use 1/8 chains with 3/32 cogs, but not the other way around.

These are NOT 3/4" barb fittings, as I thought. the size is 5/8. this is 1/8" smaller than 3/4" for those who don't like math.

4mm is correct. the 1inch is probably for shipping concerns or because the form they were using only allowed inches and the smallest being 1" The product is actually only 4mm in thickness.

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.
