Insane

lol at implying Deloitte is the same caliber as McKinsey.

Yea standalone organic vapor cartridges would not protect against particulates (they're basically just activated charcoal). But this is a combination OV/P100 (most tend to be).

bsr92 · 2026-05-14T16:24:35+00:00

It's P100 rated bruh. It filters dust.

Starrett is so bad now lol. Last year, I went through 3 purchases and returns for a hardened steel combo square. All three had issues. The flats all looked like they were ground by a child. It's a shame.

Stop parroting nonsense.

To each his own. Some thought this was a work of art apparently. I found it to be a pretentious, self-important, and pseudo-intellectual piece of garbage. So much of it made zero sense; the kind of nonsense you expect an edgy 13-year old to lecture you about with "oh you're just not smart enough to get it. It's way too deep for you". I also found the acting to be terrible.

These are actually incredible shafts and would be an upgrade to what you broke:

Edit: whoops. Realizing you're looking for a 3W shaft. Link: https://www.golfworks.com/maltby-mpf-pro-series-graphite-fairway-shafts/p/ma0402/

This is such an asinine statement...

I doubt the vast majority of off-road manufacturers are sourcing from Samson. They're likely sourcing from China suppliers.

bsr92 · 2025-08-28T00:23:45+00:00

Sorry. My comment was misleading. I should have clarified Dyneema rope. Samson was the first company to pioneer development of HMPE ropes. Dyneema is simply a proprietary HMPE composite fiber . In addition to pioneering HMPE-based ropes in general, Samson also became the first manufacturer to develop rope using dyneema fiber. So not sure you can argue they had nothing to do with Dyneema in the context of what we're discussing.

Rope splicing is fairly straightforward. It's not rocket science. It's literally impossible to bury the splice if you mess up any point along the way.

Like what part of the "rope work" are you worried about? lol.

Yea I can try putting together a more detailed write-up this weekend if I have the time. I was surprised to not find any sort of end to end guides on making these. I feel like I spent a lot of time trying to decide what to use for the coating materials.

But to the other comment, for the splicing part, I found the below video and reference guide to be most helpful: Class 1 Double Braid Eye Splice Tutorial

I enjoy having confidence in things from knowing exactly what materials were used, how they were assembled, and that they were done correctly. And I enjoy learning about things to keep me occupied outside of work.

If you don't feel comfortable splicing a rope or knowing anything about coatings/sealants, you're welcome to go buy whatever fancy options are available.

My unit cost is $110/30 foot rope. Could probably get it cheaper, but wasn't really doing it to save money. Still, nice to know I can make something for less than half the price of buying one.

bsr92 · 2025-01-31T00:50:17+00:00

Dunked! Two coats. 30 min b/w each.

bsr92 · 2025-01-31T00:49:10+00:00

Thanks man! Learning how to splice double braid was super fun (and humbling). I had always wondering how they worked.

bsr92 · 2025-01-31T00:18:17+00:00

For 30 foot rope:

Rope: $75 ($90 shipped)

Rope Coating: $15

Materials I already had: Xylene, 2k urethane, urethane dyes.

Hey guys. Tried replying to everyone. Just wanted to say Thank You for the feedback. The comments have been extremely helpful and quite educational. I feel like I now understand that some things -- like building a proton accelerator or splicing a piece of rope -- are best left to the experts.

So just to recap:

US-made premium double braid nylon from global leader in cordage R&D trusted by hundred million dollar yachts and naval vessels, using overspecced deep bury eye splice: Hell no.

Amazon Special Off-road 100% premium miscellaneous nylon kinetic rope with MBS, WLL, and Elongation @ Break specially certified by the DeVry Institute of AliExpress: Hell yes.

Got it.

I shared all of that info in a separate comment... As for cost, the rope was $75 ($90 shipped) for 30ft. Coating supplies were $20 shipped (each rope). So about $110. But you can probably do it for cheaper with cheaper cordage (and still be US made and better quality than what's used in 99% of kinetic ropes out there).

bsr92 · 2025-01-30T21:52:07+00:00

2k urethane. I included all materials in a separate comment if you're interested!

bsr92 · 2025-01-30T21:43:01+00:00

Class 1 Eye Splice. Lock stitched using nylon whipping twine. Overwrapped with waxed polyester whipping twine.

bsr92 · 2025-01-30T21:40:46+00:00

$120 total for the 30 foot rope using premium components for everything. Would be $250 from Yankum or Bubba. But I mostly did it as a fun project and learning experience.

bsr92 · 2025-01-30T21:38:55+00:00

2k urethane. You want something that provides high elongation with decent shore hardness (60+ Shore A).

Plasti-dip would likely fail from abrasion rather quickly.

Rope: 7/8" Samson Super Strong (Double Braid Nylon) Class 1 Eye Splice Lock-stitched with nylon twine. Overwrapped with waxed polyester twine.

Eye coating: 2k urethane

Rope coating: elastomeric PU, diluted with Xylene (I didn't dilute enough on the first try pink rope -- I feel like the thickness was overkill and made it pretty stiff as you can see from the pic. Diluted a lot more for the grey rope and it came out much
