SGT KNOTS Hollow Braid HMPE Rope for Arborists, Boating, Camping, Crafting, Cord, Indoor and Outdoor, Lifting Slings and More (1/8", 50ft, Black)

This is durable line, like it all day long

My cell phone chirps. With cat like reflexes, I locate the phone in a pile of junk mail, display still lit. “Roomba is stuck near a cliff”. This is my chance. I will show my doubting wife that there is, in fact, purpose in my life.It’s 2:15 am, I should’ve gone to bed hours ago, but my Dyneema order arrived today. After watching a couple YouTube videos and reading The Ultimate Hang, I’ve fashioned a splicing tool out of some paper clip grade wire, made 3 whoopie slings and a long soft shackle. Why? I’m blaming Dennis “Eagle” Wood, Sintax77, and Shug, in that order (my scoutmaster 40 years ago, and two YouTube professors). The slings are supposed to be for hammock ridge lines. (The soft shackle is because I had a left over piece and I’m still wide awake). Installing ridge lines will have to wait. I’ve got a robot to rescue from a cliff.My unerring sense of direction leads me to the dining room, then, on hands and knees, to countless other potential Roomba cliff disaster sites. I locate 2 cat toys, some fresh cat yak (undoubtedly induced by a Roomba encounter), glasses I didn’t know I’d lost, and finally, Roomba, run up on a swivel chair leg in the living room, one wheel in the air. I set the robot free, having completed my rescue mission and my daily Roomba phys ed floor exercises - and only 2 1/2 hours into the new day!But, whoopie slings . . . if I plan in carefully, I can use the slings to prevent future robot mayhem. I’m up another hour, testing various strategies. The soft shackle stays in reserve, but three slings are deployed. I’m in bed at 3:30. I’ll have to sleep quick. I’ve got work in a few hours.No alarm clock for me. I wake to “Are you trying to kill me? What’s with the trip lines all over the house?” (My wife does not appreciate the ingenuity of the early morning idle mind. ). I inform her that the home made custom length whoopie slings, expertly strung between chair legs and adjusted 2 inches above the carpet, will protect the Roomba (ordered during another early morning fit of genius) from getting stuck on cliffs. As she heads out the door I hear her mutter “supposed to be a smart.”Is she talking about the robot or me?By 6 p.m., I know it’s neither of us. Roomba head butted a whoopie sling, moved the chairs, snared the sling, and shut down, due to its dyneema mummy wrapped brush. Unwrapping the brush, I note that the dyneema is unscathed, and the sling loop is exactly as I set it. I’d like to attribute this to my splicing skills, but we all know it’s the quality dyneema rope.I purchased 100’ of this stuff in red, and 100’ in orange. I can make several slings, shackles, and tethers for the cost of one pre-made item. I’m sure I could spend lots of money on splicing tools, but with 1/8 inch (7/64) line, I’m happy shaping them out of odd bits of wire, paper clips, twist ties, or pipe cleaners. The weave expands easily when pressed toward itself, but the weave holds. I can pick it apart for the end taper by snaring it near the end with my homemade wire tool. It’s fun to work with. I can knock out a whoopie sling in about 5 minutes (30 minutes if I’m simultaneously watching Family Guy, Bob’s Burgers, or Simpsons). And, after finally getting a night out in the woods in my hammock, it does make a great ridge line. I love this stuff. Everyone is getting soft shackles and whoopie slings for Christmas this year. (What is it? I don’t know either, but don’t let the dog eat it.)

Good quality UHMWPE Dyneema fiber rope; however be careful since there are several versions of dyneema and Amsteel - and this is the lowest grade, SK60.

I've been a strap and buckle hammocker for years and while curious about whoopie slings, never really thought it was worth the time or effort. However, Sgt Knots had a really good deal on 2.5mm Dyneema so I figured what the heck. I have to say making my own whoopie slings was a lot easier than I thought it would be. The line has no stretch that I could notice, (I'm 185lbs with another 40 pounds of gear hanging on the suspension). It was easy to work with, bright colours for easy visibility, incredibly light and great price. Recommending this for other hammockers.

Bought this to make a two step aider for saddle hunting one sticking. This stuff is super lightweight but very strong. It gets the job done. I highly recommend to anyone needing strong lightweight rope

Fast shipping. Untried durability, time will tell, I'll adjust the rating if issues arise. The rope comes on a spool, flat, but will return to its round shape once off. Easy to splice, Brummel, eye, etc. Some previous buyers commented on issues with color staining their hands, this batch (orange) is colorfast, no issues with fibers pulling etc., good stuff. Recommended.

Cabo de muy alta resistencia y no estira

This is an excellent product that an excellent price! I am using this for standing rigging on my sailboat so is very particular about what I was purchasing.Those of you that say it is fake or eight strand I really don't know what is wrong with you. Here is a photo showing it is clearly 12 strands. For those that say it's fake, this is single braids dyneema. Each strand consists of hundreds of tiny filaments that give it its strength. There is absolutely no reason to question the authenticity of this product!

There is a protective coating on the string you should get a long life out of it! Worth the cost!

just what i wanted

It is flexible and appears to be good quality but whether it is Dyneema or not, I don't know

The cord itself is good, however they did not send what I ordered.

Diamêtre de corde très bien
