Anyone know the strength or weight of pull on the 1/2" cord?

No I don't, but I use a lot of bungie cords, different sizes from 3/16, 3/8, & 7/16, and all of them are strong, never broke any! I'm assuming 1/2 inch would pull a car if you needed to? I'm sure it will meet your need. I used 3/8 & 7/16 to hold a tarp down on the top of a 10 X 20 building and they lasted over 6 months. Ken Hockin Alvin, Texas

It is a fairly static rope with about a 2% stretch or so at the most. 2 feet will stretch about half to 3/4 of an inch when pulled hard. I don't know if it would stretch more with continues load but I don't think so

We've seen results from an independent test facility. They performed their tests at the end of 2013. They lowest weight at which the cord broke was just over 800 lbs, and the highest weight was just under 900 lbs. If you read the feedback comments here, you will find several other folks who performed their own tests and got similar results.

I can't give you the exact weight, but its not heavy at all. I have another 15" HP laptop that has a much heavier power cord. Haven't had any problems with the wifi performance.

My guess is 3"or a bit more ....... Weight and space are at a premium when it comes to pull downs ... Adequate

Hi Atilla, Sorry I didn't see this question long ago! Must be my old eyes or something. ; - ) There is a range at which our 750lb Type 4 Mil Spec cord fails/breaks. Generally speaking... that is somewhere between 760 and 820+ pounds. Why the range? Well, even though we ONLY sell Mil Spec cord, there are still variations in the yarns that necessitate an honest disclosure about the break strength. In reality... no two cords are ever identical due to variations in the nylon manufacturing process. That said; our cord always exceeds the 750lb minimum break strength... sometimes it exceeds it by more than other times. Thanks, Bill... TOUGH-GRID

maybe 2 lbs? it's not heavy at all. i'm able to hold it, even at an upward angle for enough time to cut down tree branches.

Our Grandson is 2, he has no problem pulling it. I will measure it tomorrow for you and let you know the length.

I'm not sure about a pull cord, I think you're looking at the steel handle that's hanging down. That is a steel arm (with an L in it so you can turn it) that connects to the bolt on the main housing. You turn the bolt to raise or lower the rim. Once installed the whole thing is pretty bulletproof. I've had it at 8' and at 10', and it's strong. The backboard will rattle after a few months of heavy use. I've found that adding black duct tape to the edges dampens the vibration and cuts down on rattle noise.

Weighs l lb 6 oz not including weight of the cord. Feels light to me and asked my wife and she said if feels light to her. If one was a hairdresser and held it all day it might seem heavy - otherwise it should be fine.

I wouldn't advise that. the tension on the pull would be enough to pull the cord apart or you'd constantly find yourself pausing to pull-release-pull-release to get it to catch at one of the stop points. Buy a goat instead, or just wait for global warming to incinerate your lawn. At last with one you get a meal when the zombie apocalypse happens.

probably weighs 2-3 lbs. cord is 12' long, unit is 13-14' long. easily reaches all parts of the back and legs. a really excellent buy.

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

It is light. I cannot handle heavy things and cannot pull a cord for gas powered equipment. BUT, I would NOT get this one - I have always gotten the 12 inch until this one and I am extremely disappointed in this because it does not cut well and the cord does not automatically advance like it is suppose to.

one-half inch, but check the specs note on amazon usually below the photo. since i use mine belt-drive, the shaft size of the motor pulley is more key than that of the motor. good luck.

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!

I really don't know, I pulled about two feet out which is all that I need. I have not attempted to pull the entire cord out.
