Heavy newbie with a Whoopie question

[SilvrSurfr]

You are correct that eye splices will retain 90-100% of the rated strength. But according to Samson's documentation found at the link I referenced above,"Amsteel and AmSteel-Blue Whoopie Slings have a break strength of 60% of the published average rope break strength." They are good people over at whoopieslings.com but I am more inclined to trust the manufacturer's information.

edit: Here is the direct link.

I stand corrected. However, that's a pretty vague statement Samson is making. What part of the whoopie, using Samson's instructions, derates the Amsteel?

Makes me think twice about using Dynaglide for whoopies.
