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!!

Yes, 3/8" is the correct tape size. I checked the box to see if there was additional information, but no. The box of 10 embossing tapes says each tape measures 3/8" x 9.8'. Susie B

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.

I have bought this myself. It is 1/2" X 1/2" 19 gauge. Didn't even notice the error in the product description. The title is correct.

The rope that comes with it is 3/8" but I was able to fit a 1/2" rope through.

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 believe this is a typo on Amazon's page. Manufacturer's website shows 3 5/8" bolt circle.

Depends on your overal length being used. Under weight, 550 paracord can stretch 1" per foot...slightly more if wet.

NO! Climbing/rappelling ropes are 8-11mm in diameter and rated in the *7500* lbs break test range - a factor of 15. Also Paracord has elasticity of up to 30% under heavy load. A static rope i.e. very little elasticity is what is preferred for rappelling. Even if you quadrupled braided it, I would not use it unless my life was severely threatened by not trying a rappel - any then, doubled, tripled or more..

I actually used a 1/8'' piece of cable with mine. However you should be able to use a 1/2" piece of rope. I am not sure but 3/8 would either be the max on size or perhaps to large. Hope this helps.

no , the dia. is smaller . but this tough-grid 750 paracord is probaly more that the strenth you need, for a small dia. cord .

Very, very little stretch, if any at all. This is a "static" (I think that's the term!) cord. It's formed with a core of 7 two ply yarns, mostly white. The core iswrapped in the colored woven sheath. After you cut a piece, you will need to singe the ends to melt them to keep them from unraveling. There are severaltypes of paracord, but this answer refers specifically to the the cord I bought.

Hi Donald, I've been sorta waiting for someone else to answer this one but since no one has... here is my take on it. I'd wrap it around a long nail or spike much the same way you would put it on a spool. My nail or wrap area would be no longer than ~5 3/4". I'd then tuck the cord into itself on one end and stuff it in my pouch, nail and all. Never hurts to have another tool around. ; - ) I have seen some videos on how to wrap cord in a way that holds it together well but also allows for quick and easy unraveling in an urgent situation. You may want to YouTube that as I'm not allowed to put outside links in this note. I hope someone gives you a better answer... but that's what I'd do since we don't have a better one yet. All the Best, Bill... TOUGH-GRID UPDATE: You're welcome Don! When you search YouTube, use the term "paracord deployment lanyard" I think you'll like the videos you find there. Bill... TOUGH-GRID

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

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
