What size cord/rope is used? I want to replace the cord that comes with it with a kevlar cord and want to make sure I get the right size.

I am not sure what size rope, but I have a three wheel bike up on it in the garage. My husband used an extra rope just to make sure it would not Give. It is up high now so I can't measure anything. To see it in use, Go to my Facebook Janice Larson Lundblad Dreier. The 300 watt light bulb obscures some vision.

The supplied rope is approximately 0.25" diameter. I wouldn't recommend varying very much from that size as it may effect the performance of the rope locking mechanism and the pulleys. The length needs to be at least 5 times the distance from the mount rail to the lowest point you want it to go down to. For instance, if you have the rail mounted to a 10' ceiling and you want the hooks to go all the way down to the floor you would need about 50' of rope. Unless you are lifting a weight higher than that of an average bike, you might want to wait until you see the supplied rope before buying the kevlar cord . . . the supplied rope is quite adequate in my opinion. Good luck.

I cannot find ncj03-01 but a comparison of Nite Ize NCJ-02-01 Cam Jam and Nite Ize NCJ2-03-01 CamJam Cord Tightener with Rope, 2-Pack suggests that both are list "Fits cord sizes: 1/16-Inch to 3/16-Inch". Maybe the difference is only that the Nite Ize NCJ2-03-01 is a two pack in a package and comes with rope? Hope that helps

When I was looking for the belt for my sear riding mower I was told that the part number 144959 is the belt that it took and it was going to be 95" Length and with a 1/2" width. ANd that was the size that I would need and to make sure it had a Aramid Fiber or (Kevlar) on the outside so it would last. Hope this helps you. Mike T,

Cord is only for remote. Put the pressure switch on side of stock were your hand would hold up the rifle and only use when ready to shoot. It,s like aiming the rifle with sights only this is laser. Must replace battery when needed, not rechargeable. Check your instructions that came with it. Good luck, I Like mine

You shouldn't need anything extra. The Molle webbing is 1 inch. The belt loop on the sheath is 1,5 inch. The belt loop unscrews from the sheath. Once the loop is removed, you can open it up and slide it over the webbing. Then screw the whole thing back together. Horizontal or vertical is your choice. The holes on the sheath allow the belt loop to be attached either way.

I have had the rope break but never had a problem with the spring. I replaced my rope with a Kevlar reinforced cord. There are some sharp edges on the pull mechanism. Plus, my rope broke because I had help from a 240 lb. nimrod trying to start the unit. Keep in mind, it's a 2 cycle engine and sometimes it takes a little patience to get it started.....Good Luck.

Rich A.: The sheath I bought was a standard and not the XL model. I have had no problems with the fit of the additional bits however, if you add any of the 1/4" sockets you will need the XL. You really do not need any sockets to service your M-16 but they do come in handy when and if you need them for other activities.

I bought one of these back in October and use the rope. You just have to use trial and error to get the rope adjusted to your height. I am 5'10 and had to shorten it about a foot so that I could finish cocking it before my arms were at chest height. Just keep tying knots above the handle until it is a good length. Once you figure it out its pretty easy. I cock mine and then get in my stand. The crank would be handy to have if you didn't want to keep it cocked the whole time you are hunting.

It depends on whether you order the one with the "Secure-x" sheath or the one with the Cordura sheath. This one lists the Cordura Survival Sheath. Neither is wonderful - the Secure-x is kinda clunky, but you can hose it off (and newer models have a ferrocerium rod). It usually costs a little more.

The elastic cord just slips through an opening, then goes around a "clamp arm" that hold it. We just seared the ends of bungee to prevent fraying, no knots needed ( but you could put in a knot). Has worked well for us, as straight and looped bungees for a tarp.

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 bought one called Excalibur several yrs ago and it has served very well. It is a rope about 34 inches long from handle to handle with 2 hooks. The Jackal has a crease beneath the rear of the scope near the safety that accepts the string. To uncock, I keep an old bolt handy which I shoot into the ground or a target.

The easiest way to go is with a Spec Ops, which will also give you a nice 4 inch pouch for shapener, ferro, and a few small survival tins. A custom kydex sheath is cheap if you do it yourself and have already invested in the rivit tool, heat gun and bag of rivets. Otherwise, just go with the short SpecOps.

Hi Donald, I've been sorta waiting for someone else to answer this one but since no one has... here is my take on it. I'd wrap it around a long nail or spike much the same way you would put it on a spool. My nail or wrap area would be no longer than ~5 3/4". I'd then tuck the cord into itself on one end and stuff it in my pouch, nail and all. Never hurts to have another tool around. ; - ) I have seen some videos on how to wrap cord in a way that holds it together well but also allows for quick and easy unraveling in an urgent situation. You may want to YouTube that as I'm not allowed to put outside links in this note. I hope someone gives you a better answer... but that's what I'd do since we don't have a better one yet. All the Best, Bill... TOUGH-GRID UPDATE: You're welcome Don! When you search YouTube, use the term "paracord deployment lanyard" I think you'll like the videos you find there. Bill... TOUGH-GRID

Hello Ash, Thank you for your inquiry. It really is up to you, if you want to use something a little heavier depending on the project this is the Elastic Cord to use. Also it is easier to tie this one at the end into a knot. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with. Kind Regards, Elsie Customer Service Representative S&S Worldwide

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.

Glad you asked this question. I have a newer version of the Wave (about 3 yrs old) and I ordered the exact same sheath for it. Great fit of the tool in the sheath, snug but not too tight. The sheath fits snuggly on my belt and doesn't slide around. The problem is after about 2 months of use the stitching that holds the belt loop onto the back of the sheath started coming apart. If I hadn't noticed it the loop would have come apart and the whole thing would have dropped off my belt.
