TOUGH GRID 750lb Mixed Paracord Parachute Reviews Summary

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "This paracord is excellent....... And I mean excellent. you open up the package, feel the stuff, and you can instantly tell that its of the highest quality."
• "Toughgrid paracord is just like its name states, its tough."
• "This paracord has held up a 100lb outdoor heavy bag for about 4 months now and is still in the same condition."
• "It's stronger than I ever thought it would be and very easy to Knot."
• "The paracord is the real deal for paracord. It is not the fake stuff you get from some sellers."
• "This has 11 internal strands on the inside, making this a lot stronger."
• "This is truly the strongest Paracord I have ever seen."

Cons:

• "I bought this thinking it would be more durable than the cheap paracord at Walmart, I was wrong this is much cheaper made than Walmart paracord, within the first week of using it to attach a solar sail, the outer shell tore into."
• "For some reason, the red cord had pretty significant play between the layers and slid around a lot which was kinda irritating."
• "The only thing that I noticed is the picture on Amazon looked like the color was more camouflaged than it is."
• "This stuff relaxes way too much. Used it to tie down a tarp and 2 days later it stretched more than 4 inches leaving my tarp loose."
• "And it frayed and snapped in 1 day. So somehow, the abrasion resistance is substantially worse than literally the cheapest cordage I could find."
• "I used this to hang 2 wire antennas. Both cords delaminated and failed within 6 months."
• "Bought the silver cord to rap a handle on a handmade spear... the outer sheath was all crewed up and 4 other spots pulled."

Customer Service

Pros:

• "Bill Hanover (the owner) is a stand-up guy."
• "I am so impressed at the personal touch provided from this all-American, family owned company that I have no doubt I will be coming to them in the future with all my cord/rope needs."
• "Owner did contact by email asking if product was satisfactory and offered a laminated knot cheat card for no cost."
• "The owner of Tough-Grid (who sells this paracord) definitely seems on the level and would do everything to make you happy and to ensure you're satisfied with this product."
• "TOUGH-GRID is about customer service and I even received a hand written note thanking me for my purchase."
• "The company stands behind their product and the quality is first rate."
• "The company contacted me to make sure the product was what I expected."

Cons:

• "I tried to message the seller to ask if this is indeed a change of the color before getting Amazon to send a replacement but of course I got no response."
• "I ordered this and came torn. Trying to get it returned but having difficulty."
• "The last person liked the paracord but did NOT like how the seller was spamming them."
• "*Fair warning* The company DOES solicit reviews and offers free 25 foot hanks when you make a purchase."
• "I don't know how Amazon goofed it up but they somehow put my bad review on some other items on this one."
• "Thought I was getting what the picture looked like. Very disappointed. I would not have paid the price I paid for the item I received."
• "The owner and I spoke about their photo being deceptive and misleading. He compensated me for the misunderstanding and I'm very grateful for his help!!"

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Just buy this and for same price get top quality."
• "Great product well well worth the money."
• "The product is extremely durable, and reasonable for the price."
• "GREAT PRODUCT! After watching our son-in-law struggle with straps and ropes to hold things in his truck bed, we ordered him a roll of Paracord."
• "You might think the price is high, but then you realize how over priced the 550 is."
• "The company provides project and preparedness info after purchase and follows up to be sure they have happy customers."
• "It's definitely more robust than your average 550 cord."

Cons:

• "But I will say, you can (and absolutely should) buy this by the roll, elsewhere for much much less money."
• "However, for what it is, the price is still a little high for me."
• "Yet half the length of this cord cost me nearly 1.5 times the cost of the 1000' roll of 550lb paracord."
• "This is too quality paracord."
• "The Parachute cord is sturdier, stronger, and more attractive."
• "Update: I didn’t reach out to the company to request a refund or anything, but they refunded my purchase from my original review."
• "I recently used this paracord to see how it held up a tarp and then used a hose and threw some water on top that way I got to test a tarp and see how some cordage held up to being wet, and the weight of water."

Use and Applications

Pros:

• "Living in Alaska, we do a lot of back country exploring and hunting. This Paracord is a must have for several things and even survival kits."
• "Perfect for camping or any activity where you need to tie something."
• "I've used it for several outdoor projects and I won't trust any other brand except Tough-Grid."
• "This cord will be for use in a crash bag (airplane) & emergency bag (vehicle) & bug-out bag (SHTF time)."
• "Used it to hang a ham radio antenna and it is holding up quite nice."
• "This will be great for tarps, but I wouldn't recommend it for hammocks."
• "I've been wanting to add some extra cordage to my camping gear and this one fits the bill perfectly."

Cons:

• "I was so excited to get the para cord... Well, I finally got the new one made and started using it, thinking it would last a long time. Apparently a long time is ten days; that's how long it was before the darn thing broke."
• "I don't know how something so thin can be so strong. I have a 2 person camping hammock and I strung it up with this paracord."
• "I use it to replace laces in my boots."
• "I WOULD bet my life on this rope if I had to."
• "I've used the para-cord for many different tasks but mainly it has served me well for ascending gear up into a tree stand and making makeshift gear hangers and it has worked great."

Color and Appearance

Pros:

• "Received product in good time. It is a really nice weight and the color vibrant."
• "I got the Royal Blue which is highly visible for a deep blue."

• "The dark beige is beautiful! Very happy, looking for more things to do with the left over cord."
• "The grizzly color is a good FDE color too."
• "This is the best paracord I’ve found, and I’ve used several different kinds."
