Description
These diameters are great for soft shackles, tow ropes, etc. Sold by the foot.
Samson AmSteel®-Blue is a torque-free, 12-strand single braid that yields the maximum in strength-to-weight ratio and, size-for-size, is the same strength as steel—yet it floats. AmSteel®-Blue is an excellent wire rope replacement with extremely low stretch, and superior flex fatigue and wear resistance.

I am using this rope to replace the 5/16″steel cable that came on an old Wyeth-Scott More Power Puller hand winch which I use when logging. It is much easier to work with when operating the winch and is also easier for an inexperienced person to use when learning to do a sliced eye, a locked Brummel or other rope functions. Great stuff.
