Comfort-Grip Shock-Absorbing Wear-Resistant Rope—Not for Lifting

Also known as sash cord, this rope has a soft cotton cover, so you can grip it without hurting your hands.

Low-Stretch No-Flatten Rope—Not for Lifting

Choose this polyester rope for applications that require minimal stretch, such as in tie-down applications. It resists UV rays, rot, oil, and gas, and will not lose strength when wet. Solid braided construction keeps the rope from flattening during use and disperses wear evenly, making it a good choice for high-friction applications, such as passing through pulleys. It knots easily and does not rotate under load.

Note: The safety factor for capacity is 12:1.

Comfort-Grip Reinforced Wire-Core Rope—Not for Lifting

This soft cotton rope with braided construction allows you to grip it tight without it slipping or hurting your hands.
