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 use my paracord in small amounts and could not say for sure that it is one continuous piece.I have to say that I did assume that it was continuous spool when I purchased it.

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

NO! Climbing/rappelling ropes are 8-11mm in diameter and rated in the *7500* lbs break test range - a factor of 15. Also Paracord has elasticity of up to 30% under heavy load. A static rope i.e. very little elasticity is what is preferred for rappelling. Even if you quadrupled braided it, I would not use it unless my life was severely threatened by not trying a rappel - any then, doubled, tripled or more..

Yes 1/4" and 3/8" refers to hose size not connector. Larger hose just flows air better. I actually have both and it works well with either one. But I am not a contractor doing speed work. Your compressors ability to keep up will be more noticeable than hose size.

Oops! My bad. I just assumed the original poster measured the strap and I didn't measure it -- it is 1" not 3/4".

Engineer here: definitely not 1/8". I am not sure how the other are measuring. I am getting 0.059" to 0.063" with a digital caliper which puts it close to 1/16".

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.

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.

Laura. This string is very strong, but it is nowhere near 1/8 inch thick. More like 1/32" thick! To get that type of thickness, you are going to have to go to shock cord, or parachute cord. I deal with cording and string all of the time, and I have yet to find any cotton, hemp, or nylon string in that thickness! Here is a link to 1/8 inch string, or cord, here on Amazon.

I am sorry I can't answer. I got "side-tracked" ( don't all crafters once in a while?). Will use the paracord later.Dee

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.

It's a very long cable. I traced mine from under the front seat of my Jeep Wrangler to the back and up the top of my rack, still having extra left over. The diameter is not 3/8" - at least the one I have isn't. Mine is 1/8" DIA. max. But you don't need a huge cable (dia.) - it's for an antenna! :0)

So that I could get a diameter that worked, I ordered the package of three. I don't know the diameter that I ended up using, but it probably is the 7/8" diameter. Mine has ridges on the side.

Depends on your overal length being used. Under weight, 550 paracord can stretch 1" per foot...slightly more if wet.

The rope that comes with it is 3/8" but I was able to fit a 1/2" rope through.
