Ratings & Reviews for Blue Hawk 100.0-ft x 0.375-in Braided Polypropylene Rope (Packaged)

Braided Polypropylene handles

I make going away boxes for Marines that are PCSing, EASing or getting out. I have used several different items and so far the braided polypropylene works the best. I have several different colors like blue, green and black.

Great multi-purpose rope.

I used it to tie myself off as a safety line while up on my roof. Also to hold down things in the back of the truck when moving. Not much stretch. Served my purposes. So far it is a really good multi purpose rope.

Excellent “Cheap” rope

The other reviews of this rope don’t take into account that this rope is CHEAP! Yes, its going to fray. Yes, the core is made of a different material. This stuff is just over 10 cents a foot. Price 3/8 poly rope from anywhere else thats of a higer quality, its 20-30 cents a foot. Its not for making jump ropes, pulling trees, or lifting hundreds of pounds. It’s for tieing stuff off. We use it to secure glass on our glass trucks at the company I work for. It does a great job of that. You won’t fin...

tree pulling

rope snapped, not recommend. Once the outer braid starts to fray, its done and dangerous. Can anyone recommend a good quality tree pulling rope that's not 200$.

the best

this is the best worst rope ive ever bought. its exceeded all of my expectations in the quantum realm and also in the ghost realm. also this rope is terrible dont buy it. I recommend the handshake 2000 with the upgraded rubber hand so it doesnt hurt the first 4 times.

Junk

I wish I had read the reviews before I purchased. Can't think of a worse purchase I have made. The outer shell "peels" back revealing a tissue paper type inner fibers. At which time the outer core bunches up causing just a mess to work with. I finally throw the entire thing away as it just wouldn't have secured the shade cloth I was installing over a arbor. It looked "pretty" but had no real function.

Poor Choice

This rope looks nice on the shelf, but looks can be deceiving. The cover separates easily, allowing the inner fibers to protrude and catch on everything. Its made to look like high quality dockline, but this rope is junk compared to it's look alike.

Dog leash

I cut into 30 foot lengths for my dogs yard rope. It has lasted a year of being outside in the midwest.

Bad Quality

Once outer cover is ripped the internal fibers come out. Not made with quality

Low quality, poor durability

Clearly the worst rope I have ever purchased. It is not really a braided rope. The outer cover is a very thin braid that very loosely covers synthetic tissue wrap core, which has no structural strength except in the tension direction.. Thought this would be good for jump ropes for the kids. The braid cover tears and ruptures at the slightest pull, such as in brushing the ground as a jump rope. Once the outer braid ruptures, the inner tissue paper fiber pulls out and the rope becomes useless. ...

Not what it looks like

In the package it looks like a great braided rope at a great price, but when you cut it you see it is a very thin layer a braided thread covering two pieces or what looks like paper. I don't dispute the tensile strength, bit it would be very questionable with any type of abrasion.

Great utility rope for the money!!!

10 cents a foot!!! Worth every penny. Great utility rope for tying down objects in truck or trailer, boating, making the best rope swing for the kids, etc., etc., etc. Should you be mountain climbing with this? NO! I leave mine in the back of the truck and tie down stuff all the time. It doesn't scratch the car, it ties and unties well, holds up well to the sun and is strong. I cut mine into 50 foot lengths for ease of use. I read a review that said the ends were difficult to seal up. Cut it, bu...

look at other types

I was disappointed in this rope -- it is listed as use in "recreation" but the very fine print on the label warns against use for playground, athletic or any overhead use. It's only real use appears to be tying up a canoe or kayak or other uses where rope flotation is needed. The core of this rope is bunched fiber tapes that make it impossible to effectively whip the rope (to prevent fraying after cutting). Melting to whip only melts the outer braided layer, and the middle fiber tape simply catc...
