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!!

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 think so; give me a day or so, will try a short demo and get back to you. Have you considered usin 275 "tactical" paracord?

Sorry - I can't honestly say. The packaging (whats left of it) gives diameter but no length. I am on the second of three spools and can say that I consider it a good value. Sorry that I couldn't be more help.

I would say it's in between. Very good quality, easy to work with and most important to anyone crafting with Paracord, it splices very good. I have never had any problems with Paracord Planet cord.

I'd use the best paracord I could get. Be aware that there's a lot of inferior cord out there, looks the same but isn't. Do your homework on who you buy it from.

Nylon which is not real 550 Paracord, which is a true Mil Spec item and is a far superior cord, but most of the stuff you see marked as 550 Paracord is counterfeit stuff produced in China. But you can rewrap with the real stuff, or (better) just put a longer (and much more useful) piece of the real stuff in your bag for when you need it.

It must be a typo. Mine is about 3.25 wide and tall (It's a circle) and two inches deep. The chord on it is around 13 inches.

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.

One point of confusion here is that the description had this as a 5.5mm x 2.1mm, but, the photo has the embedded text indicating it is a "DC 5.5/2.5mm". Both are a common size of connector. Not claiming an answer to the question here, just pointing out a spot of confusion.

No it is not 1 1/8 inches in diameter. It is 1 inch in diameter and cuts an 8 pitch thread.

I definitely would. I've bo bought paracord from different brands and sometimes ended too short. This particular brand I did fine with.

yes it will work with paracord. the buckles on it are standard for most smaller projects like bracelets and small/med dog collars, key chains/fobs. It is adjustable for longer pieces as well. I believe you can swap for larger buckles if needed. Good Luck!

550 Paracord typically measures 5⁄32 inch (4 mm) in diameter 1/16" thicker than 3/32 shock cord

Diameter of the rope...sorta. I got the 1/8" ones and the rope is just a little thicker than 1/8", more like 3/16". I have seen the 1/4" ones in a store and they were almost 3/8" thick.
