China Paracord 550 TEST 

if you bought 550 lb cord that broke below that stain they didn't sell you what they advertised, therefore you DIDN'T get what you paid for

Accurately testing the breaking strength of rope and cord is difficult because if the load-bearing strain reaches the knots, it can reduce the carrying capacity of the cordage by 30-60%. This affects the weight-bearing properties of all knotted materials, including paracord. I can't really tell based on these videos, but it looks like the weight stress goes directly into the knotted area, meaning this test does not accurately measure its static load capacity.

Thank you for the video. All your breaks happened at the knots, so I agree that the tests were inaccurate. Recommend using the bowline knot or use a rope crimp.

But its so cheap and good for lanyards and bracelets. Campingsky store (Alie) sent me real bad paracord tho)

Usually , the dealers where y buy says that the maximum resistance its 25 kg 😅

Not for climbing is understood by all.

Fact check a meter is longer than a yard so if a meter cost $0.15 then a yard will cost less than that, and not $0.17 as you stated.

Wow, this could be really dangerous. When you consider that some knots reduce the strength 50%, that garbage would break with a 110 pound load! Thank you for this heads-up!

Good grief.
