New product on sale - the Mastrant rope winder! See the description for a better understanding of the variability of use. On sale in the USA from May (after Dayton).
What exactly does it look like when a rope with different terminations is stretched until it breaks?
Two basic types of terminals were used in the test:
1) Loops around a smooth small diameter log.
2) Thimble with Fist-Grip, knots and securing Bull-Dog Grip.
When testing the strength of the rope in the laboratory, either the rope is wrapped with several turns around a large diameter cylinder or the rope is fixed in special jaws (where the fibres in the rope barely bend at all).
