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!!

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.

Just got this in the mail... outer diameter measures approx 3 1/4". The outer 3/8" is the flexible part. I tried to upload some pics but cant seem to figure out how.

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

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.

Just measured it with my trusty tape measure. 4 and 3/4 inches long and 1 inch in diameter.And you are right it is NOT 8.9 inches long as stated on the Amazon site.

Not quite sure which hole this refers to but the hole in the strap where the end goes through to secure the strap in place is about 1/8" by 1/2". The loop formed is about 2" max and is dependent upon the size of the material that its secured to. For example a larger gauge wire will result in a smaller loop for tying up the cord.

i've ordered two 1000' black paracords. I've received two different types of 1000' black paracord. One roll is with 7 white strands, the other has 7 white strands and 1 orange. What I use this for is to make flask carriers. My preference is the "7/1". I would like to request an order for the "Commercial Black 1000' " roll. Is there any chance when I order this, my request will be honored? It works better with the commercial grade when tying the knots (smaller).

It has a pretty strong spring so it will go down to a small size. My max size is 1/8 for shock cord. When you melt / char the end of the chord to prevent it's unraveling, the melted end will barely pass through the lock, so I would say 1/8 is about max. I tried a heat shrinkable cap on the end, but it would not pass through the lock. I have used the locks on regular elastic shoe laces before I bought the shock cord. Even when the elastic inside the shoe lace had broken, and just the braided outer cover was all that was holding, the lock still held and prevented the lace from slipping. These are the strongest springs in this type of cord lock I have encountered. It has a pretty strong spring so it will go down to a small size. My max size is 1/8 for shock cord.

The sharpened part of the blade is 6 1/8 inches. Top of paracord wrap to tip is 7 3/4. Handle from top of paracord to butt is 4 1/4.

I just purchased one along with a 100' spool of 750 paracord. The 750 paracord would not fit in the slots. I had to tie it off using the larger hole on the end of the tool located on the same side as the cutter. I was disappointed but still glad to have an all in one tool to organize and cut my paracord. Hopefully, they will design one specifically for the 750 paracord in the future.

Easy to pick up from a hardware store. I think it's 3/8" but compare to a section of your existing cord when buying and check the WLL of the new cord.

Biggest I go with is 3/32" cable and sleeves so not sure about 1/8". I don't think so, though. It's nice and portable for what we do. Next step up you're going with the big swagers. This fits in a belt or bucket.

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.
