A great all-purpose rope, these 100-feet of 5/16 inch nylon rope have more uses than there are spaces here for words. Nylon is the strongest of all rope materials and this 5/16" diameter rope has a working load of 190 Lbs. It's excellent for use with pulleys and is very flexible for easy knotting. The rope has a "memory" for returning to its original length. For this reason it is best for absorbing shock loads as is the case when lifting or towing. Nylon is likely to last four to five times longer than natural fibers because it has good abrasion resistance and is not damaged by oil or other chemicals. Has a good UV stability.
