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!!

Thinking paracord as one and three quarter inch wide this one is one and one half inches wide and sadly the cap that screwed on the buckle to hide small fishing line or whatever popped off I don't know where. The inner pouch for a few dollar bills is nice though. Mike

Yes 1/4" and 3/8" refers to hose size not connector. Larger hose just flows air better. I actually have both and it works well with either one. But I am not a contractor doing speed work. Your compressors ability to keep up will be more noticeable than hose size.

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.

I used a digital vernier on 4 random pieces and got 0.22-0.23 in i.d. or 5.7-5.8 mm i.d., Atlantco "7-strand" 550 paracord is roughly 0.15 in o.d. or 3.8 mm o.d. for example (compresses too easily to get a vernier on) so regulation paracord easily passses thru the holes.

No this cable is neither....it states 1/8 inch which is 3.175mm....and it has two male ends..

Engineer here: definitely not 1/8". I am not sure how the other are measuring. I am getting 0.059" to 0.063" with a digital caliper which puts it close to 1/16".

If your talking about the tip, I would say it is 1/8 inch I use it for very fine detail work .

It has a pretty strong spring so it will go down to a small size. My max size is 1/8 for shock cord. When you melt / char the end of the chord to prevent it's unraveling, the melted end will barely pass through the lock, so I would say 1/8 is about max. I tried a heat shrinkable cap on the end, but it would not pass through the lock. I have used the locks on regular elastic shoe laces before I bought the shock cord. Even when the elastic inside the shoe lace had broken, and just the braided outer cover was all that was holding, the lock still held and prevented the lace from slipping. These are the strongest springs in this type of cord lock I have encountered.

Thank you for your interest in our products. For the 3/16" size, the thread length is 3 1/2" and for the 1/8" size, the length is 3 1/8". The only restriction is our warning that these fittings are not to be used for lifting or hoisting purposes, but are intended for use in architectural railing systems. Customers do use these fittings in a variety of applications and properly swaged fittings can approach the breaking strength of the wire rope, but is dependent on many factors. To be assured a cable assembly will meet a certain working load, you would need to go to a rigging company to proof test the assembly. Thanks Eric 888-686-7245

I used 3/8" but I am certain it will accept 1/2". These things are pretty sturdy - I was using them as force mulitpliers to pull down a tree and they did not pose any problems. My "pulley" background includes sailing tackle, and while they're not like a $100 main sheet pulley, they're pretty fn good

Yes. Each section of paracord is approximately 10 feet in length. You need around 1 foot of paracord per inch of wrist measurement to be sure you don't run out before you finish. The amount left over has never been enough to make 2 bracelets out of the same section (unless you're making them for very young children). Hope this helps.

Not sure why it says 1/2", but it is definitely 3/8". I checked it with my pipe caliper just now.

I have not used this product yet, but the spool says: 3/8" x 100'Hope this helps.

I just measured mine to make sure and it is 1 3/8", I think it may have shrunk or stretched a bit over the almost two years I've used it as I seem to remember it being 1 1/2" when it was new. This is not to say that they're all the same. Mine carries quite a load but has held up well.
