Mike from British Columbia asked:
Q. What is the difference between the standard Tenex, and the Tenex TEC?
The TreeStuff Experts answered:
A. Tenex is has a single carrier. Tenex Tec has a double carrier. This means Tenex Tec is slightly smoother. Samson explains it like this "Tenex-TEC is specifically designed with two ends per carrier. This construction allows more rope surface conformance to objects being lifted than standard single braid constructions."
J from Fairfax, VA asked:
Q. Can Tenex TEC be used as a safety lanyard?
The TreeStuff Experts answered:
A. Yes, in theory, but we do not recommend it. Tenex Tec is a hollow braid polyester without a cover. It will "pick" badly when run it over bark and does not handle this type of abrasion well. Abrasion resistance is one of the primary qualities you look for in a positioning lanyard.

Tenex-tec is a rope that I like to keep around. After getting a lot of it in a bag-o-rope, I learned to splice it. It is really easy to learn to splice and can be made into all kinds of useful things.

Great rope easy to splice and strong as hell
Reviewer: Dave R
I ordered a Bag o Rope, & hit the Rigging Rope Jackpot! I received 2 pieces of the Blue Tenex, I measured them, 1) 20', 2) 16' I was unaware that this rope was so large! I spliced 2 Whoopies for my 2 largest pillows and I'm amazed at the strength of this rope ! They both got a workout on a 115 yr old Maple that was massive. This rope never moved during the drops of spars over 1,000lbs. I Love it. Now I have a 28' piece of the orange for my large PortaWrap Sling. That's a job for tomorrow! This rope is outstanding!

This stuff is Great!Haven't tried splicing it yet,but looks like it will be a breeze to do. Very strong though.
Thanks treestuff!
Reviewer: Dmaloney
This stuff is great and easy to splice. I have made eye to eyes, loopies, rigging savers with rigging rings, and a number of other slings. Even made some backpack straps. This stuff is affordable and splices with ease. Get some in every size and have some fun!
