Review on Premium 16-Strand Diamond Braid Utility Rope - 1/2 Inch x 25 Feet, Red by James Martin

Depending on what you want to use this rope for, it can work. But for my needs of pulling up a 7lb anchor from a seated position, that's not very good. The rope is a little rough on hands because it is not soft. The real softness shows the material used and I assume the weave. And yet, without softness, it affects torsion, which is important in a boat. However, if you want to use this rope for other purposes, e.g. for backing things up, this might be a good deal for you and might work.
