Amsteel Blue Rope, 7/64" X 600 Ft. Spool, Silver

Dyneema is very useful around the boat. I use it for all jobs.

BEWARE! Due to the nature of UHMWPE this rope is more slippery than nylon and as such requires more and better knots, unless you braid in a loop on each end for carabiners or something similar. A spliced loop will allow the rope to retain 100% of its strength as opposed to knots reducing strength by up to60%. It came 2 days later than a few other items i ordered at the same time, but it came from across the country so that's normal I suppose. It was exactly what I ordered, and it was even neatly wound on a plastic reel. The only other thing I can say is, the posting said shipping weight was 3 pounds, but fedex says it weighed 2.8 lbs. Other than that it is a good price from what I've seen. And as we all know the Amsteel rope is the cream of the crop of high strength rope. And for any new buyers 7/64 is about the same thickness as paracord, and this stuff will be replacing my paracord items. Also this stuff is great for shoe laces as long as you double knot em.

I really like this product. I do have one concern/question however and maybe someone who uses this can tell me what I may need to do differently.I'm not taking any stars from this because the product is really good and my question is more than likely user error.I have been using regular paracord to tie a midshipman's hitch and have not problems with it holding under load. However, when I use this rope and tie the exact same knot it slips under load.Has anyone else had issues like this or do I need to make a modification.Thanks for the help. I know this isn't a forum but if someone reads it I would appreciate any feedback.

Amsteel the Duck Tape of Cords and Rope. I have used this product in the 7/64 inch to make woopie slings, soft shackles and continuous loops. Sampson rates the minimum strength at 1400 pounds of the 7/64 inch rope. I will say this that when you are working with amsteel, you will need a very sharp knife to cut it ( some use ceramic knifes ) if you knife is not sharp it will fray till it almost looks like cotton. Try making some soft shackles, you can find the info on youtube, or even a continuous loop (which I use often) and you will not be disappointed in this product.

Amsteel is amazing stuff. Super strong and durable. Easy to splice and great for just about everything on a sailboat. I've rigged my sailboat with Amsteel to replace reefing lines, tack lines, lazy jacks, topping lift, running backstays, shackles, lifelines, and anything else that you want to have extra strength and chafe protection. It's light, doesn't retain water, and super easy to splice.

Use it for hammock suspension and whatever else I can think of. This rope is incredible, extraordinarily strong. If I ever run out of the rope, which may be awhile, definitely would buy again.

Bought this to use on my hammock. Works great and super strong. Held up awesome through a wicked thunder storm that sent my brother sleeping in the car.

Nothing really to say. It's Amsteel. If you're looking at buying it you probably already know what it is. It was a perfect spool.
