2-3mm lines with 1000lb breaking strength. Is there such a thing?

[Tree&Stump]

I see several lines 2-3mm in diameter for sale, but the highest tensile strength I see anything rated for is 670lb. That is okay for me only if they aren't allowed to rate there strings for the true breaking limits, but I doubt the string makers are held up to the same standards as the rope makers are.

What's the strongest string you've ever used?

Someone else told me to check with Samson too. I didn't see anything narrow enough by them after a little research, but I wrote them to find out more about what they make in small dia.

I just ran across the Dynaglide throw line by New England. 1000lb tensile strength and less than 2mm dia. Great innovation, NE :msp_biggrin: This line with that RopeArmor are getting ordered today.

If anybody can post about a similar 2-3mm diameter line with 1000lb+ tensile strength, I would greatly appreciate your input.

I use dynaglide. Think the tensil strength is actually 1200 lbs. I have pulled hard as I could with the throw line wrapped around a stick and never broke it. Great stuff. I have gotten bags stuck and broke off 1.5" branches while trying to get them unstuck.

Thanks. I'm going to look around a little harder for those. I haven't made my order on the dynaglide yet.
