1/2" or 3/8 ?? I want to make a 4' loop and pull at least 50 lbs constant pressure. Which would you recommend. I will need a handful of these loops.

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.

Hello, the smallest I was able to make was just over a 2mm, the next size was 3.5 and the largest 5mm. I realize the 2mm sounds small though I had purchased for a particular project. I was using 26 gauge wire and was wanting a tight loop. Also the pliers were rather heavy so it was bending the wire from the shear weight. But they are well made just too big and heavy for me. Unfortunately I do not use them. Hope this helps.

I've found that generally whatever the loom size says, it's usually the outer diameter. I can't check at the moment what the actual outer diameter of the 1/2" loom is, but I'd recommend that you go 1 size higher. So for 1/2" loom, you would want to get 5/8" clamps.

3/4" connections used to unit. Check local codes. I used 3/4" piping throughout . Flex can only be used for connections under 36". Distance from source shouldn't matter, pressure should be the same. Use hard pipe.

I used 1'' and 7/8'' and found that the 1 inch is the way to go..The 7/8'' way the exact size of the shaft and it essentially screwed it self in and took some muscle to do so. I used 1'' on my next 3 taps installed and the shank fell right in and tightened up nicely!!

for a 3/8 pitch I would probably use a 7/32. However the packaging of the chain you buy should have that information on it.

A 3/8" socket is usually all that is needed for everyday repairs. The 1/2" is for larger projects such as taking head bolts from an automobile motor's heads to remove and replace the heads. I bought both the 3/8 and the 1/2" drive ratchets and like them both. A 1/4" rachet is for more delicate jobs. I rarely use one, myself. Buy with confidence, my friend.

The 2", 1 3/4", 1 1/2", 1 3/8", and the 1 1/4" have a 3/8th" shaft. The 1", and the 3/4" have a 5/16th" shaft. The 1/2", 3/8", and 1/4" have a 1/4th" shaft. Hope this helps. Also, we cooled these with oil and it worked well.

! inch but you can get reducer couplings that go from 1 inch to 3/4 or 1/2. Best if you use 1 inch in though.

The 1/2 inch is referring the the drive that the socket attaches to. As for the hose skip the 1/4 hose and fittings and use 3/8 filing and 1/2 hose. There is much more airflow and power to be had when using them.

I would suggest the 10" because the OD is the important dimension, once its squeezed down it will become 10 3/8".

My personal experiences are with a 3/8" synthetic. I can't say with certainty, but according to the description on Amazon you're good.

I used 3/8" but I am certain it will accept 1/2". These things are pretty sturdy - I was using them as force mulitpliers to pull down a tree and they did not pose any problems. My "pulley" background includes sailing tackle, and while they're not like a $100 main sheet pulley, they're pretty fn good

Excellent. I have welded 3/8 successfully, but I am a long time experienced welder and know how to make the most of the heat. Welds 1/4" easily. It will blow through the 24 or 22 gauge on highest setting if you're not careful.

It may be 1/2 flow but 3/4 inch threading.... Like when you measure PVC pipe it's the size of the inner diameter, not the outside, so 1" is slightly larger than 1"

Depends on "home" use. Driving lag bolts, screws (with an adapter), under hood work on your car the 3/8 is fine. Doing your own tire rotations then I would recommend the 1/2 drive

I use a 1/4 inch hose with no issues. I have only used it for small projects but recovery is very fast so I would predict no issues with either.
