Is the string easy to pull? Do you think the string would ever break if pulled too forcefully?

Yes the string is easy enough to pull and quite robust. The only weak point is the plastic of the center bit. So I would avoid anything with too much resistance, such as chocolate or fats. We use it every day got about two years use out of it before we had to get a new one.

I have to make sure I securely hold the chopper down when pulling the string; I wouldn't say it's easy to pull at all, more like moderately difficult. I don't think it would ever break if you pulled to hard, the gears would slip first as they often do for me. Be careful with the string becoming hot as well, I burned my hand on it once without realizing it.

String is easy to pull. Mine has held up and it's been months. Love the product!

It seems pretty sturdy to me. I think one would have to pull REALLY hard to pull the string out of the top. I think this is a wonderful chopper!

It is easy to pull. I would not call it a string it is a cord and very sturdy. I hold top of chopper when I pull the cord. I never once thought about cord breaking. I use chopper all the time!

The string is very easy to pull. My daughter-in-law has one she uses frequently, has not had a problem with the string. It is made to last for a long time.

It will unravel into 2-3 "strings" if you do not tie it off. It will not rip apart into fibers, but it will shed little. I have it wound around the neck of several empty water bottles that are serving as bird feeders & the string is holding up fine out side. I do have it knotted & the free ends have unraveled. Hope this helps.

Not very hard at all. The back holds tissue as well as wet ones with out a lot of effort, you just kind of wrap it around the front. To push the top button too much because that's what breaks the most on the handle. Any movement side to side with the top button is what's breaks. Pushing it in to release is no problem. There are instructions with photos that comes with the wand.

Yes it is relatively easy to replace the rope - we needed a longer one due to the branch height we were using and the age of the grandchildren and My husband had no trouble replacing it.

Yes it is easy to pull. I have used it to get groceries and went 8 miles with it. 4 miles empty and full load on the way back and there was no difference in pulling it.

I suspect that it depends upon (a) how often you use the string to switch modes on the heater and (b) how careful you are in pulling the string. I leave the heater set on high output and have it plugged into a separate thermostat unit that controls power to the heater, so I rarely use the pull string. It seems to work well enough, but it appears to be exactly the same sort of switch as is used in old style, pull string light fixtures -- functional enough for occasional use but not durable enough to stand up to a high rate of usage (or overly strong pulls). If you plan to use this heater occasionally (e.g., for heating a shop that you use once or twice a week, while it's in use) then the string should be OK. If you expect to switch the heater on/off (or change the setting) frequently, I'd recommend using an external switch of some type. With that said, I've found it to be an excellent heater.

Mine is very easy. Just put on and pull off. No twisting. I even bought one for my daughter.

It is a pretty tough pull by hand. I bought the cranking device and am very happy with it.

I can tell you my 5 year old grandchildren had no problem using it. My grandson informs me that the string is not difficult to pull.

The pre-strung tension is a little bit soft but still playable, mine got re-strung with a Yonex string by a friend and I didn't ask about the tension detail but it is noticeably has higher tension and felt the increased in smashing power. I heard the normal tension is around 22 ~ 24 pound. Hope this help.

Actually, I have all the reason to rope straight up is the easiest. If you have the pulley set to wide (wider than our object), it will take slightly more force to pull it up. The fact is you will be pulling 4 times the distance of vertical travel in exchange for using 1/4 of the force that is needed to pull. But besides properly place the pulley above, the easiest way to pull up the object of desire is to pull with one hand and put the object up with the other. I do it with my bike and it is rather easy. Perhaps you can ask for a second set of hands for help. Enjoy.

Way more than strong enough. The problem I had was that they shorted me something like 8 inches so I couldn't use it for my application. Keep in mind that it will stretch when stressed. I used it to pull 250 lbs and at 25 feet it stretched several inches. For a couple of feet and with multiple strands stretching won't be an issue.

The cords are pretty easy to pull so if you are having difficulty, there is something wrong.

Not hard at all, the large spool rotates very easily, if you have a lot of heavy hose be sure to drain the hose as you wind to shed a lot of weight. Unwinding is very easy just position the spool to the side you are unwinding from and walk with the end of the hose, you can adjust the unwind action with the clutch so it does not unroll too quickly.

I didn't pull too hard but it didn't come apart easily. Good luck with your project.

Its easy! Just pull the metal pieces apart and whatever you are picking up will fall out!!! We use ours for apples and my kids love to do it!!

I don,t no, but the string broke in mine, and we took it apart and put a stronger core in it, it,s been working good, even the storm,s couldn,t damage it, also nail it down.
