What is the strech ability? My last order somewhere else stretched 6 inches on a 24" cord. Very poor. It was a 1/4" cord. Now I want 5/16"

I've ordered and use 3/16, 1/4, & 5/16, and am beyond happy with all of them. 6" stretch on 24" cord is OK, not bad. You may be expecting more than this is designed to do? Sorry I couldn't help you any more, I am happy with all of these. Ken Hockin, Alvin, Texas

When you say you get 6 inches on a 24" cord, is that a certain weight pull, or to full resistance, or to breaking point. I don't know about mine, never tested it. But the stretch seemed appropriate for the size of the cord. I have used it in awning tie-downs, tent tie-downs, and re-stringing a zero-gravity chair. All worked well.

I have found that the diamond braid from sgt knot stretches about 100% of it's length and then back to original length. I like this product.

Hi Gary, I honestly haven't taken a tape to it but I'd say on the project I used it for maybe 3-4" Sorry for the vague answer just wasn't concerned with how much it stretched on the particular project I had. Hope this helps.

because a 1.25" hose won't connect to a 1.25" hose without something else, right? So by getting the 1.5" extender, the 1.25" hose snugs right into the end of it. That's how it works for me anyway.

It measures 4 1/2 inches, including the plug. Without the plug, 4 inches. It does NOT stretch at all.

Because of the characteristics of the springs, diameter, k, length, I would be hesitant to use anything but OEM replacements to assure it continues to operate correctly. If you feel lucky you can grab all of the data, wire diameter, length at rest, stretched length and force required to stretch, hook end dimensions, etc. and go to an industrial supply store. You may find you will have to cut to length, apply heat to bend the ends and properly quench. I've made springs for other devices in this manner and would return to the OEM if possible just to save the PITA factor.

I just tried the large size with a 10ft Amazon Basics USB, and it didn't come close to coiling it all. The cord on the cable is pretty thick, so I'm sure that was part of the problem. It might work for a 6ft cable if it's thin (like an OEM iPad cable).

It's coiled like a land line phone hand set cord but will stretch greater than 6 feet. I enjoy mine very much,

It depends on who you buy the cable from. The real product (sold by RiteAV) is 24awg. I had initially bought this product from another reseller, and returned it. That product was very thin and easily bendable. I suspect it was 26awg - still within spec - but not the same product. The cable sold from RiteAV says right on it that it's 24awg.

It's a coil cord about 2.5 feet when coiled, and will stretch out to about 5 feet or a little more.

I'd like to know what warmer you bought that had a short cord! That's actually what I want because it will be on my counter (using it to warm a jarred candle because they last tons longer and don't burn down) and I'd rather NOT have a 6' cord to try to conceal.

I have a roll of this wire. When put up next to a tape measure, it looks to be about as close to 1/16" as possible (about 1.5 millimeters). David VA

Stretched out is 5ft. and retracted it is 4 1/4 inches. Sorry for the delay in the reply! Works Great!

The one I received is maybe 4" long stretched. Useless to me, so I'm returning it as we speak.

This seems to smaller than the standard six.....I kinda like that too. I would recommend this guy. Your question made me unwrap this thing, and I'm sorry I didn't use it yet.The best ones however seem to be the cheapies that I have all over the house at 10 or so for 5 bucks from China.!!!

I can't say for sure that you will, only the folks who fill your order at Amazon can answer that. However, when I placed my order for this cord, I got exactly what I ordered. Needless to say, if you don't get what you ordered, return it. Good luck with your purchase.

Mine is stretched out over 16' but I do not believe you will have an issue? If so, simply shorten the cord as Dennis said in an earlier reply. You will do great. Great Shopper!

It goes 34-1/2" without a stretch. If you need more than, say, 36/37 inches, buy some 3/4" elastic and make an insert in the extisting elastic.

The regular cord diameter is 3/16". It doesn't flatten much compared with commercial paracord when tightly wound.
