What's the best tool for cutting this particular rope (any size)?

We bought the HK Porter Wire Rope and Cable Cutter sold by Amazon and it works great. Only about twenty bucks and is the best tool for the job.

A circular saw (or SkillSaw) would rip it to pieces! I used a razor knife that had an extendable blade. It's a very soft material that can crumble easily

you can cut rope light every 40 inches. So you can cut it to exactly 40 feet, but you have to add for the connector and AC chord. So it depends on how precise your 40 feet opening is. There are marks on the Rope liteshowing where to cut. If you intend to use the remaining rope light you might as well order an extra AC chord.

The micro cutters will easily give you a precision cut on braided fishing line, I have used them to trim braided nylon, braided silica wicks, Kanthal wire from 28 to 32 gauge without having to re-trim due to fraying. The tool works very well.

I would suggest you go to the hardware store or search on Amazon for wire cutters. Don't ruin a good pair of scissors. Breaking it would leave dangerous sharp edges.

I shortened mine by first marking where the cut needed to be and making the cut with a large utility knife. The other option would be with a Hacksaw, either should do the job. If you do a search on the internet "best method for cutting wiremold" you should get some results/feedback on the subject.

I'm not sure scissors would do the job. You could probably trim it up with a box cutter or knife.

Not this particular rope, you'll need something thicker made from manilla. If it's for lifting stuff find som3thing at a higher gauge if you need it to.lift people or animals ect find a nice synthetic.

Yes, but you must cut at specific points on the rope and then add the power cord to create whatever length you need.

When you cut the ropelught in the designated spot you expose the inner wire which can accept a new plug that comes with the kit. It is very easy to do if you use a sharp pair of scissors, the rope also has marks on it telling you where you can cut it.

I used the included rope cocking device. It's very easy to cock the bow with it and requires minimal effort. I hope this is useful to you.

I believe a 4" will do it. but if you have steady hands you can save yourself some coin if you tape it off well and cut it with a sawzall, jigsaw, etc.

the wire is about 3/8 inches thick. I didn't measure it because I cut about 8 foot to use. The length is about 20-25 feet long. As far as using nylon rope, It would depend on the thickness and length.

The instructions only tell you the usual (stand on rope and adjust it so the end of handles are 6inches under collar bone) but if you're around 5'5 or under there will be lots of excess rope and this rope is not at all easily cut! Even bolt cutters wouldn't do it for me and when I eventually (finally) cut one end off I was left with a twisted mangled mess where it was cut!

If you want to cut it, wire cutters will probably work best. But in fact for minor adjustments the innovative design of the handles and screws is great-- I was able to just loosen the screws and shorten up the cable and retighten the screws without having to cut the cable. Worked great, was really helpful for me to start achieving the first double unders! Great product design.

I used a pair of wire cutters; if the ends get flat a bit, it doesn't impeed the performance of the rope at all. Once cut, you place the cap back on the end.

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.
