Other uses for Amsteel

[rcurry]

I have a truck bed whoopee that I use to secure my kayak. It's also used to secure other stuff that is hauled in my truck bed.

Why have I never done that?! ........time to break out the excess amsteel.

If you happen to camp/backpack with a small hatchet or fixed blade knife, you could wrap your handle with it. Helps with grip and makes it available in case you need it in a pinch when out in the woods.

Good idea....i usually use paracord but this would be better....especially if i wrappped up some 20g wire under the wrap to have a splicing tool on hand.QUOTE=bartlax4;1418531]If you happen to camp/backpack with a small hatchet or fixed blade knife, you could wrap your handle with it.

What is this "excess amsteel" you speak of? No matter how much I order, there's never any left over.

I used Amsteel to replace throttle cable on 3 Linkbelt cranes. Cables were breaking way too often. The Amsteel has been there about 2 1/2 years now. Very true story.

we have a clothes line through pulleys that goes from back porch to tree 50' away. would break 3-4 times a year. used 100' of amsteel 4 years ago without a problem.
