Has anyone actually seen a GENUINE tensile strength test of this stuff? If so what was the breaking strength?

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.

As Richard's already said, Michael... It's an unbelievably rugged polymer of some sort. Mine's shrugged off a staggering amount of abuse (as described in my "It's An Able Stable Table, Mabel" review) for roughly two years now, ...and shows NO sign of quitting.

i gave it to my son. after seeing your question i called him and asked about it. he said it was very strong. he was very happy with it. i hope this helps you.

Hard to say on the reliability of this product. I worked on initial test, and has failed since then. (never truly got any use out of it) Its broken!

An un answerable question, since I have not used those other products mentioned. This tool is used to polish granite, it rotates, produces water, which is needed and polishes the granite. This equipment did not break, it did what is was supposed to have done.Sorry, that I could not provide comparisons to your question.

I haven't tried that.. but I can tell you it is very strong.. you can sand it with a power sander and it doesn't break up.. Hope this helps.. :)

I ordered one, it came in broken. I got a second one... same. So I never got one to see. I can tell you it was not sturdy enough to make it through delivery process. Best of luck.

Ours came right off. I've made a little cut in the styro on other tightly boxed items and cracked the styro in half. It's always weaker than the item itself.

I dropped mine several times, and nothing happened to it, or the items within it and most importantly it didn't crack open upon the impact. I hope that answered your question.

I can't speak for others but I've used this pretty heavily since I got it about a month ago and it seems very strong. I can see where someone could break it though...the hinges and panels are from the same molded plastic so if you're very rough with it or bend it improperly it will definitely snap.

I can't tell you specifically what tensile strength is but I can say it is not designed for high-tension applications. The strapping is embossed with a diamond pattern that makes it appear to have reinforcement - but it is just for looks.

Not positive but I think it probably is 16 gauge. It has a high tensile strength rating

It looks like a thin sheet of fiberglass. Pretty strong, have not had an issue with that. Probably better than aluminum, as it will flex a bit if dropped, and not take a set.

I have no idea.This is built strong, you can't break it if you use it properly. Don't leave it outside, take it in after your done.

You would have to ask the manufacturer for the tensile strength, but besides using it for grapevines, I used to use it for various construction purposes. I believe 200 pounds is not a stretch of the strength of the wire. I also used it for support to espalier apple trees. It is rust resistant, but for indoor use that should not be a factor.

I have had great luck with it and I have not babied it . it is a pretty heavy cast vise and it seems to hold well . as yet I haven't done a DROP test on it but the way I do things I probably will. I do recommend it but if you plan on putting a cheater bar on the screw handle you are on your own ,. good luck with it. Larry

It would be good to do a test with a couple of small pieces of hypertufa, one with and one without. I loosely measure out a couple of tablespoons of fibers from the bag for each 10 pound bag of concrete. Once they're separated, there are a lot of strands. Wear a mask when pulling the fibers apart. They do strengthen the concrete permanently.
