sorry okiye dude i entered the Address and it popped up like that with a linkokietreedude1 said:I carry the 5/8 yale also. Better than that, Im a sponsor here.
yea on the stretch they said that the strength was high because of the stretch factor and warned me of little or no clearance and the stretch, 3 strand i use for natural crotchesTom Dunlap said:Why use 12 or 3 strand? They stretch WAY too much to be used for a good rigging rope. Check out their statistics.
Any of the double braids will out perform them. Be sure to get them with the urethane coating so that they have a long life.
clearance said:Seems to me that a rope that stretches would be a good thing when rigging off big tops, logs from the spar you are in. Rope stretch would lessen the shock load, would it not? Don't know, never would do stuff like that, just asking. I know that shock loads multiply wieghts tremendously, makes sense, no?
yea the 5/8 husky breaks at nine tons the because of the stretch in the core it is definatly a good thingclearance said:Seems to me that a rope that stretches would be a good thing when rigging off big tops, logs from the spar you are in.
