U.S. Made Amsteel Blue is made from a synthetic fiber called Dyneema. As well as being used for winch rope for self-recovery winches, it is one of the top-rated fibers used in the manufacture of bulletproof vests. This synthetic fiber rope has a higher breaking strength than that of steel cable of the same diameter, but weighs less than 1/6. It won't get all wound-up like steel cable, and can't develop sharp frays. It doesn't conduct electricity or heat, so it won't freeze your hands in winter. It won't rust, doesn't kink, doesn't recoil, doesn't stretch, or doesn't store energy. Need we say more!

Heavy-duty rope thimble with Class II locking eye splice, and heat-shrink cover.

Extra-large terminal end, with rope taped prior to being crimped into the terminal.

• Over 30% more strength than the same size wire cable!
• 1/4" x 50' Rope
• 9,200 lb Strength. Compare to 1/4" wire cable with 7,000 lb strength.
• 1.6 lb/100ft Weight. Compare to 1/4" wire cable with 11 lb/100ft weight.
  
• UV protection coated.
• Lock-stitched Class II splicing, with heat-shrink.
• One 5' abrasion guard included. Guard is flexible and compact enough to wind in with the rope. Comes right back out when you unspool.

We recommend our larger than stock Mega Hook, with safety latch, and our Aluminum Hawse Fairlead, specifically designed for synthetic winch rope use.

AmSteel Blue is the latest development of HMPE fiber in a twelve-strand braided rope utilizing Parallay design with proprietary blue urethane coating.

We strongly recommend upgrading to a billet Aluminum Hawse Fairlead to prevent rope damage from a scuffed roller fairlead.

Notes:

• If in use for snowplow lifting do not use abrasion guard at the front of the rope. Slide it down the line out of the way and spool onto drum.
• As with cable, we recommend keeping a minimum of 8 wraps of synthetic line on the winch drum at all times.
• We also recommend avoiding overuse of winch brake (powered spooling out), which can generate 'excessive' heat through brake friction.
