I will be using this rope in my basement area which limits me to 15ft rope. Which rope would you suggest 1.5" or 2"?

Fifteen is kind of short. For me I'd definitely go with the heavier (usually thicker) rope.

Unless you have ReallyBigHands or are a very accomplished athlete ( w really good grip. ) the 1.5's would work better for you.

Hi, I would use a 2" rope. The reason The 2" rope is heavyer than the 1.5" rope. You will get a better workout.

The limitation of 15ft will not affect whether 1.5" or 2" is right for you. The only consideration is circumference to hand size and weight to length. It is difficult for an average sized, athletic man to climb 2" rope because the circumference makes grip strength a challenge.Most intermediate to advanced athletes would still climb 1.75". 1.5" is good for beginners. If you are only doing battle ropes with this, the added diameter adds additional weight over a given distance, making larger rope more challenging for the grip, as well as all other muscles involved. If you will be tugging (e.g. tug of war, sled pulling), the grip is, again the key factor. I suggest a demo, go get your hands on it. Or, failing that, roll a sheet of paper to a 1.5" and 2" diameter and see how your hand gets around it. For most 1.5"=beginner, 1.75"=intermediate, 2"= advanced... don't forget to purchase a length just over double the distance you plan to battle so you have enough...

What will I be hanging this on or from? I hung mine from a tree it's pretty big and the rope is long. All I need was a 2 foot chain link to connect around the tree with.

Go with two 25 footers. If you ruin one end, you've only lost half of the hose.

I have a 60 meter 10mm rope and it works fine. Not the same, but shouldn't make that much of a difference.

1" is probably best, but the arms can stretch to about 1 1/2 inches with no problem.

No. Too Thick and too slow, there are far better choices on Amazon. Even if you are looking for a longer rope for Double Dutch, this might not be the best solution.

Best I can tell is 1 inch is about it. But like the other responder said, wrap a piece of chain around your 2 inch bar and hang the hook on that. The hoist is a good product for the money. I like mine. I use it for lifting 55 gal water barrels off the back of my truck.

I actually used a 1/8'' piece of cable with mine. However you should be able to use a 1/2" piece of rope. I am not sure but 3/8 would either be the max on size or perhaps to large. Hope this helps.

It isn't specified in the rope tips, but I did a quick search and found 9.2kn

It depends on what you are trying to make. At The Home Depot you can get 100 feet of 7/16 inch rope for 20.00$ and it has a work load limit of 300 pounds with a break strength of 3000 pound so that should work for what you are trying to make, that is what i use for swings though if you are making a rope swing you will want it to be no thinner than 5/8 inch and with a break strength of 10,000 pounds. I use a 3/4 inch 3 strand rope from The Home Depot with a break strength of 12,000 pounds 5 years still holding strong. WARNING! Don't get rope from Lowe's.

Aloha,Well you got me there.I sent mine back for lack of power, any pressure on the belt brought it to a dead stop.But if I were to hazard a guess I would say 2".I hope that this will help with your question.

I replaced mine with a slighty larger, stronger rope - personal preference only - the cord that comes with it is plenty strong and is long enough for almost any application.

You are going to be really squeezing it. I don't think it will work for you, as I am 6,1 and I must be at least 7 feet high when I am on the up and up part of the dip.I am so sorry, you can't use it in basement, maybe somewhere else, because it is definitely worth it.Good luck friend.

The 2" dia is pretty big but other than that I don't see why you can't climb this rope. I don't think it would be too slick. It has hand grips on either side so I'm not sure if that is it's intended use, thought.

You bet. A great rope! I would recommend using only figure 8's since some of the mechanical belay or rappel devises are made for larger diameter ropes.

I just got this rope recently myself and it is fairly thick, maybe a 1/4 inch. Definitely good for hanging anything.

I use a 1/4" rope and that works fine. The distance across the top of the groove is about 3/8", but I'm not sureit would handle a 3/8" rope all that well.
