What is the strech ability? My last order somewhere else stretched 6 inches on a 24" cord. Very poor. It was a 1/4" cord. Now I want 5/16"

I've ordered and use 3/16, 1/4, & 5/16, and am beyond happy with all of them. 6" stretch on 24" cord is OK, not bad. You may be expecting more than this is designed to do? Sorry I couldn't help you any more, I am happy with all of these. Ken Hockin, Alvin, Texas

When you say you get 6 inches on a 24" cord, is that a certain weight pull, or to full resistance, or to breaking point. I don't know about mine, never tested it. But the stretch seemed appropriate for the size of the cord. I have used it in awning tie-downs, tent tie-downs, and re-stringing a zero-gravity chair. All worked well.

I have found that the diamond braid from sgt knot stretches about 100% of it's length and then back to original length. I like this product.

Hi Gary, I honestly haven't taken a tape to it but I'd say on the project I used it for maybe 3-4" Sorry for the vague answer just wasn't concerned with how much it stretched on the particular project I had. Hope this helps.

This cord is way over kill for what your need. U will wear yourself out dragging it around. Get a 14ga 100ft Husky from the Home Depot and forget about it.

Depends on your overal length being used. Under weight, 550 paracord can stretch 1" per foot...slightly more if wet.

It's either a typo or someone was heavy handed with a pair of calipers for measurement. I've ordered 100' sections to 1000' spools from them and everything has been exactly what I expected. 3/8 sounds a little big for a measurement to me but I haven't ever actually checked the diameter. Either way it's the same diameter as all other 550 paracord I've worked with and seemed better quality than some others I've found.

The Six Foot Cable I ordered was only four feet in length. Another reviewer ordered it and said the one they got was the length of a pencil! Guess I was lucky. Apparently there is no way to tell what your are going to get, when you order from these folks.

The cord I have is coiled and I'd bet it an stretch to 6 foot if needed. Mine doesn't look like the one pictured.

You will get 6 ft long cord from SoDo Tek. We understand other seller may have different length.

The cord as is is 5 feet. Stretched would be 19 feet. It would not hurt the cord to be stretched either.

I just actually measured the cord on mine with a tape measure and got 76", or 6'4".

Definitely stretched out. I'm guessing here, but its only about 1' coiled (not stretched)

24 inches or so. The same length of original mike cord. Will stretch to maybe 4 feet at most.

I have a roll of this wire. When put up next to a tape measure, it looks to be about as close to 1/16" as possible (about 1.5 millimeters). David VA

Thanks a lot for your answers folks. I actually contacted the seller and they are sending me a replacement cord! That should fix the whole problem in itself and save us from the hassle of determining the right specification. Appreciate your answers here.

I'd like to know what warmer you bought that had a short cord! That's actually what I want because it will be on my counter (using it to warm a jarred candle because they last tons longer and don't burn down) and I'd rather NOT have a 6' cord to try to conceal.

Hello Kevin, No..... this cable is heavy duty! It's great for certain jobs but the the loops would not pinch together small enough to fit through 1 1/4 inch. the cable was much larger than I was expecting (even though I did the mm to inch conversion :-)Chris

Mine will stretch to about 3 1/2 inches, so it's about 1/4 inch short. I do love it though! Sorry... :o(

I stood on one end of it and pulled straight up on it while holding a tape measure (fed through a saftey pin @ the bottom part so it would slide as I pulled). It went from a beginning read of 59" up to 69" when I used all my 63-year-old Yaya power. You tell me...is 10" of stretch a #1?
