Dyneema vs Chineema - How strong is "synthetic rope" (HMPE) on Ebay & Amazon?

EARLY ACCESS!

Dyneema or HPME comes in all sorts of qualities labeled as SK this or SK that.  What do they mean and how much do they affect strength.  We also test generic HMPE that I joke is chineema and is sold on ebay and amazon because a lot of us wonder how good that stuff is.  Strength isn't the only factor you should base your purchase decisions on, the cheap stuff loses a ton of strength when you actually use it as seen in our other video at https://youtu.be/XOBH7xoYmCY.  It also wears out faster.  All the info and data is too much for a description, go see the blog at https://www.hownot2.com/post/dyneema-vs-chineema-how-strong-is-synthetic-rope-hmpe-on-ebay-amazon.

Dyneema vs Chineema - How strong is "synthetic rope" (HMPE) on Ebay & Amazon?

Oh, ok, I was really afraid about those numbers

Dyneema products give Minimum Break Strength and Average Breaking Strenth charts and it typically is eye to eye testing like we do in this video. So it's not my average but their average result.

Ryan, I have to ask this. Let's take the test results of Marlow D12 Sk99. Is the average breaking strength the average from your 3 tests? Because that can't be the average of those 3 tests

Wednesday's video is a fixed version of this one though I'll keep this live for those who want to watch it early, or click straight from their email notification. Thanks @Daniel for showing me the issue

Shoot. They all have that if you look at the last screen. Ugh. What's interesting/funny is i have this thing watched a dozen times by other people and watch them at least a dozen times myself and these details get by everyone and me.

All tests have the table with "test 1, test 1, test 3"
