1/2" or 3/8 ?? I want to make a 4' loop and pull at least 50 lbs constant pressure. Which would you recommend. I will need a handful of these loops.

3/8 should work fine, if you want more piece of mind, use the 1/2 cord. I am amazed at the strength of the 3/8 red cord.

3/8" is far more versatile than 1/2". 1/2" is more for really heavy duty work. The 3/8" version of this tool was powerful enough to remove the wheel hub bolts from my car, and those are notoriously difficult to remove.

I believe that the 3/8 is usually the buckle size used. There is a size difference in 550 & 450 paracord!!

I believe the 1/4 or 3/8 refers to the inside diameter of your hose. You can buy fittings to repair smashed hose ends and the fittings themselves (threads) are the same size no matter what the inside diameter of the hose is. You can also buy a universal fitting which will work on both sizes. All of this is of no concern when using a quick disconnect as the quick disconnect attaches to the hose fitting. However, you can buy quick disconnects in different sexes so pay attention to what you are buying. This is what I did... Attached the main body of a brass quick disconnect to my pressure washer, attached the male quick disconnect insert piece, included with quick disconnect, to my hose (this can be flipped around), and repaired my damaged hose end with a 3/8 brass fitting. Now I just simply plug in my hose and turn on the water, it is completely leak tight! All parts can be obtained at your local hardware store. Hope this helps.

That's a pretty small profile on 1/4 tape, but I have used 1/2 in with no problem. It saves so much time I would give ita shot, good luck.

I used 3/4" pvc pipe, very good, powerful pumping as long as installing according to instructions provided.no problem at all.

The 3/8" unit is more accurate in the lower range that the 1/2" unit. However, both units are more accurate in their mid and upper ranges than their lower ranges--but still pretty fair. Use the unit you buy to test and adjust your wrench, then use the wrench. Accuracy is more critical on parts such as engine heads, main caps, connecting rod caps, etc. So, keep this in mind.

I use a 1/4" rope and that works fine. The distance across the top of the groove is about 3/8", but I'm not sureit would handle a 3/8" rope all that well.

3/32" is narrower than 1/8" (4/32"), so you can use 3/32 cogs or chainrings with a 1/8 chain, but not the other way round; consequently, I use a 1/4" chain just to be on the safe side.........and it runs smoothly and quietly.

5/32 is what needs to be used. 1/8 could work, but would not count on it. I had to really tighten the nuts down to grab good on the 5/32 cable.

I'd use a 4/0 or 5/0 ...but, you'd need to use a bullet weight/slip sinker, unless you're going to try to go weightless....and, I would peg the sinker...a 4.5" tube is a BIG tube!

5/16" . If you use 3/8" you may want a hose clamp. It is NOT 1/4" between the pump and manifold. You use 1/4" beyond the manifold.

I use a 5/8 diameter hose, but any size hose should work, because you do not need full water pressure, only enough to achieve the drip rate you want.

I used 1'' and 7/8'' and found that the 1 inch is the way to go..The 7/8'' way the exact size of the shaft and it essentially screwed it self in and took some muscle to do so. I used 1'' on my next 3 taps installed and the shank fell right in and tightened up nicely!!

Go with the 12/3 as others say. The smaller the number, the thicker the gauge and the more amperage you'll be able to use. This is a good cordset which I use with my 3500 watt generator.

Yea, that makes a lot more sense than paying for a 3/8 inch hose and then restricting it to just 1/4" at each end. But the reason that they do that is that the cheapy connectors that are so popular in the home stores are the crappy 1/4" ones. I throw those in the garbage and use the larger 3/8" connectors. My air tools, especially the rotary ones, are much happier with the larger connectors. In fact, the documentation with some of them require at least a 3/8" air flow path to achieve the designed performance. Using 1/4" fittings would have crippled those tools. That said, this hose should be fine for low air consumption devices like nailers, etc... Just beware...

My personal experiences are with a 3/8" synthetic. I can't say with certainty, but according to the description on Amazon you're good.
