SGT KNOTSHollow Braid HMPE Rope for Arborists, Boating, Camping, Crafting, Cord, Indoor and Outdoor, Lifting Slings and More (1/8", 25ft, Blue)

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.)

I bought 100 ft of red 3/16 for halyards on a small sailboat. The hard, slippery nature of this line makes it a pain to work with. The colored coating might contribute to this being especially slippery. Most of the knots I use on a small sailboat- bowline, fisherman's knot, bitted slipknot- they slip under load. A more expensive spectra from my experience holds much better. There are some workarounds, but for me the low price isn't worth the headache of learning what will hold up a lugsail's yard without it crashing down on your head.

The line is lightweight and strong, as advertised. What isn't clearly stated anywhere is that the colors are a sticky coating that is clearly sprayed on after the line is woven. If you push the cord open, you can see that the interior fibers are not coated.The coating creates an unpleaant sticky feeling when handling, and if you tie knots with another cord the color will rub off on it.I imagine for most people having a sticky coating on dyneema isn't so bad as it improves the friction and makes more knots work in it. Unfortunately I bought this specifically because of Dyneema's reputation for slipperyness, so it is useless to me.

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

Exactly what I was looking for and they delivered ahead of promise.

Rope was sticky, almost like it had a coating on it. However, whatever is causing the tacky feel did not transfer to my hands or anything else so that’s a small victory.Fibers seemed to stretch and discolor easily when trying to bury the ends to create a continuous loop. Product in it’s original state seems as strong as I expected, but I really don’t feel comfortable using it for the loops, whoopie slings, and ridge line for my hammock once I noticed the fibers discoloring. Had the product not mentioned using it for hammocks in the description it would deserve 4 stars. Would probably be fine for all other uses stated.I didn’t notice any color rubbing off, not immediately anyway. I don’t plan on using this on anything that would matter if it did so I won’t notice anything that rubs off slowly over time.

Seams to be a good quality line. I bought some 1/8 line to install some byneema life lines on my sailboat. Didn't really use it in high load but sorta like a leech line/decorative looks nice and durable but only the test of time will really say.

Competitively priced product of same products at a much higher price.

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

Diamêtre de corde très bien

Good rope, but I found out after the fact that the same product is less than half the cost if you order directly from the Sgt Knots website... Damned resellers and their jacked up prices.. If I didn't need the product with quick delivery, I would have returned it...
