Good deal on Samson Amsteel

[cbr600grl]

Today I was looking into making the much talked about Amsteel/Dyneema suspension system and thought I would share the best deal I came across (I do a lot of price shopping). Diygearsupply.com is largely sold out, and from what I can tell the stuff I found was a killer deal. I though it was worth sharing.

Go2Marine.com (link here) currently has the Samson, AmSteel-Blue Rope, 100% AmSteel-Blue SK-75 Dyneema HMPE fiber Rope on sale for $0.17 - .19 per foot, depending on the color, but thats not all. Grab some rope and head over to the check out with promo code: G2-5X-8N to get $5 off any order. Essentially you can get 26 feet of amsteel for FREE all you have to do is pay shipping. And to top it off I was even able to save a dollar of shipping by clicking "see all available shipping options" and choosing USPS as the carrier. Everything you need to make a whoopie sling for <$10 bucks with all colors available.

I myself decided not make a whoopie sling and instead try my hand at Derek Hansen's (theultimatehang.com) descender ring version (video here) which only takes 8ft per side, for the additional weight reduction, rain drip protection, and overall simplicity. I'll let you know how it goes.

$8.84 total shipped price to get 25ft amsteel from Dutch.

And since you can never just walk out of Dutch's store with just one item, shipping is free when you spend over $60 at MYG. I've shopped 7/64 Amsteel as well and have yet to beat his price my any significant margin.

Thanks for the heads up - I just bought 30' for $8.27 Shipped!

Pardon us but we do love Dutch! He has brought a lot of innovations to the hanging community and his store is continually expanding with things we "must have"!

I have a habit of reading posts and not paying attention to who posted.

Hello and welcome to the forums, cbr600grl. Thanks for the heads up on the Amsteel source, perhaps someone will be able to take advantage of it and save a little money. Good luck also with your descender ring suspension, and let us know how it turns out. Happy hanging!

Great post cbr600grl. Welcome to the forum.

Guess I never need to buy amsteel again. I bought a 600' spool and using your code along with free shipping it came to 108.58. Using Dutch it would have been 146.41. That's a real savings. Could I have contacted Dutch for pricing on a spool... sure. The key is buying in bulk. The free shipping along with the discount code made the deal sweeter. I frequently order from dutch and feel like im always running out of amsteel. I just throw a few hanks on each order. Think im good for awhile. Looks like all of my AS projects will be in black for awhile.

That's a good deal BigE94.

@cbr600grl, Thanks for the heads up. I just ordered a 100' on my last Dutch order or I would be all over that spool.
