I wouldn't use this to hold anything living, but good for tensile strength - like if you had to hang something from a tree or pull something. If you plan to use it like a clothes line, it states it can only hold 20 lbs. Hope that helps.

To secure a load?

No. God no.

Go to Harbor Freight or Walmart and buy some inexpensive real tie downs.

Thoughts on using this to replace worn pole pruner rope?

I think the 20lb is in reference to boat anchor shock loading, boat bobs/drifts in current/wind can exert lots of force on your gear.

Should work pretty well for that. Not so sure how well the handle will hold on this type of cord compared to the looser knit rope that usually comes on those pruners though.

This similar paracord is $5.84 (+7% off with coupon) for 100 ft. I bought it before (it's always around this price) and it's solid. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...th=1&psc=1

It could be, I just got Line Weight ‎20 lb from the item details. I'm no rope expert for sure. I think it is this (from the internet):

Rope Working Load

It may surprise you to find out that the working load for most kinds of rope is between 15% and 25% of the tensile strength. Now consider the fact that any time you tie a knot in a rope you effectively cut the tensile strength in half. The knot when tensioned cuts the line. While certain kinds of knots damage the line less than others, the 50% loss of tensile strength is a good general rule to live by. Research has shown that the figure 8 knot reduces the tensile strength by approximately 35% instead of 50% for other common knots tested.

AI had this to say:

AI Overview

Line weight is a term that can refer to the thickness of a line or the weight of a rope:


Rope working load
The amount of weight a rope can safely support without breaking. The working load is usually between 15% and 25% of the rope's tensile strength. Tying a knot in a rope can cut its tensile strength in half.
Rope breaking load
The minimum or average breaking load of a rope. The user is responsible for determining a safe working load by considering the rope's strength, expected life, and other factors.

Not sure if any of that helps anyone, but saves them a trip to the internet I guess. Someone on here probably knows for sure.

Why does Paracord keep coming up in my feed? It's like Google is telling me I need it so my brain is trying to find a use for it.
