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

Lisa, I didn't ask what the paracord diameter was, I asked if I should double check the 100' measurement of my order, as several people have come up 7-10 feet short on their 100' orders. But thanks for the info, I appreciate it! JT.

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.

Not quite sure which hole this refers to but the hole in the strap where the end goes through to secure the strap in place is about 1/8" by 1/2". The loop formed is about 2" max and is dependent upon the size of the material that its secured to. For example a larger gauge wire will result in a smaller loop for tying up the cord.

If I measured correctly, it is 3/8ths of an inch. If I measured incorrectly, I'd say it is 1/4 inch. [Wow, I just looked at another answer, and it measured much larger than I did. Mine is from the wall to the outside of the plug, but does not include the slight hump where the actual cord comes off the plug. Still, I measure no more than 1/2".]

The label does not give the manufactures' name. it does list the military specifications, and says that they have been manufacturing paracord for the U.S. Military since 1942. Contact lifesavertools@gemall.com with any more questions.

It's the chain thickness. 1/8 is slightly thicker than 3/32. You can use 1/8 chains with 3/32 cogs, but not the other way around.

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

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.

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.

It is 1/4 inch thread for both camera mount and tripod mount. Read Charles C's answer carefully, he said 3/8 is used on pro equipment, not in this small head.

The diameter of the spool the roll is on is 3/8 inch, as the other answer indicates, the roll with tape is 2 3/4".

Depending on how tightly you wrap, 25' should cover it. The grip is roughly 6". 550 paracord is 4mm (5/32 inches) thick.

Easy to pick up from a hardware store. I think it's 3/8" but compare to a section of your existing cord when buying and check the WLL of the new cord.

Hey, Patrick: Darren Wright from Paracord 550 MilSpec, here. Thanks for your question! I suspect that you are asking this question because there is quite a lot of Paracord on Amazon and other places that claim to be compliant with the MilSpec ... but just arent. We've noticed ... heavy sigh ... too! We have all of the MIL-C-5040H documentation in our files but it is so complicated that we don't bother to confuse our customers by sending it out. What we consider to be better is ... now we are sending out an ebook called, "We Love MilSpec Paracord and So Will You!" which explains in great detail and with very high resolution close-up pictures, all about the differences between MIL-C05040H Paracord and commercial Paracord. Inside of our ebook, we also provide a link to download your own copy of MIL-C-5040H. It's a tough read - 19 pages of "government" type writing, but it's good for Paracord Snobs, like us ... or for insomnia! Hope this helps! Keep Charging! Darren Wright, Customer Service Manager Paracord 550 MilSpec (TM)
