Nylon is the strongest synthetic material used for DIY ropes and will last four to five times longer than natural fibers because it has good abrasion resistance, good UV resistance, and it is not damaged by oil or most chemicals. Great for indoor and outdoor uses, nylon does not float and it will absorb water, which causes it to shrink slightly and to lose some of its strength (10-15%). Nylon has great strength and shock load resistance, handles easily, and resists sunlight better than all other synthetics. This double-braided line has a diamond braided cover and a diamond braided core for superior strength, performance, and durability in harsh marine conditions. Designed to be used as an anchor line, it is also ideal for hauling, lifting and towing. It can also be used for dock lines and fender lines. Do not use for overhead lifting. Never exceed the Safe Working Load of 570 lb. This 3/8 in rope measures 50 ft in length and comes with a spliced in thimble for easy attachment to an anchor rope.
