just wanted to give you all a heads up.


5/16" x 100' Diamond Winch Rope with Tube Thimble



5/16 - 12,500 Breaking Strength
3/8 - 18,500 LB Breaking Strength
7/16 - 22,600 LB Breaking Strength
1/2 - 32,800 LB Breaking Strength

they are just now getting it on the website, so it may be easier to call and order directly.


I have no affiliation, nor have I ever ran this rope. hopefully its good stuff, either way its way CHEAP.

if you think about it, let us know how it goes. but with dealing with them, and then about the rope itself, if you end up getting some.



I think I will be getting 125' of 5/16" for my 8500 winch in the next few weeks..

Just called them and they answered phone right away , in English . The guy spoke with me for about 5 minutes , very helpful...

He said the line itself was made in China, no surprise, he said their company contracted with a Chinese manufacturer, and each spool was tested to breaking to meet advertised breaking strength...

He said "it's not as good as Viking or Masterpull" whatever that means ... Whadya guys think ? I think I'm going to get 80' of 3/8 , $120 ...

edit : 80' of 3/8" or 100' of 5/16" , I have 5/16" on my winch right now , I'm not sure if an extra 1/16" even makes a difference...

what winch do you have now? does it have rope or cable currently?


Choose the Correct Size Winch Line


scroll down a bit, they have a conversion chart with many different winches. it will tell you what diameter, and what length of rope you can go with.


at that price point, its not surprising "its not as good as masterpull" as they are top of the line. but, assuming its breaking strength is accurate, it should be great for budget line.
