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.

It is pretty strong. I mix it in my health shakes I make. I would not use it by itself.

We'll I haven't 'tested' it yet:). Like I said in my review it will be good against light wear and tear. Small drops like off a table would probably be ok. Tossing it out of a moving vehicle, not so much.

They are very strong. I cannot can see how anyone could over torque in normal use. I am very happy with mine

Sorry, I did not put any real strain on it other than as a strap for hanging a 60# kayak off the wall. Suggest you contact the manufacturer to get load limit/working load data. This stuff is strong, but since I don't have a clue what you are going to stress it to.....

me personaly....I would think the spring tensile went by the color of the handles....I took a brand new one with brown handles/grips out of the case ...and pushed it one time and broke the spring....

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

They are hard plastic but this thing is strong as steel it held over 300 lbs and didnt break. Haha yes i tested it.

Have had success with wood and metal so far. Haven't tried plastic or similar products, oscillates at a fairly high speed, would think brittle surfaces could pose a problem. Worth experimenting with tho'.

Yes, sometimes it feels like it will break. Just put more force.. the material is really strong.

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.

Unfortunately, it is not strong, but it's enough for me I think. Hope that helps.

They are one of the strongest i have ever had to pry apart. I have two of them on my lines one at the master intake and one at my water heater. and believe it or not they work like a champ. Takes about 30 days or so to notice. Dosent answer your actual question so my apologies as i dont know the strength. Stacy

Never have tested it's load bearing ability. It's plastic, so if you need something to hold a lot of weight, I'd look elsewhere.

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.

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.

It is SUPPOSE to be the strength . HOWEVER BOTH of the strings , that I got are DEFECTIVE ( they BOTH frayed , started coming apart ) . I had both put on the pistol crossbow today ( one at a time of course ) . I even waxed the string ( the string wax protects it ) .
