Looking forward to learning a new useful rigging skill. You make this look easy!
Use a bromel lock, no stitching required.
That works very well! Thank you for this video.
Now do a vid about cleaning bloodstains off dyneema, (there's always blood whenever sailmaking needles are used.)
tell me you're a serial killer without telling me you're a serial killer
Not sure the dyneema will not fray if a larks head hitch is used on that block's becket.
Might be better off with a shackle theough the becket and use a lark's head hitch on the rounded shackle shaft.
How strong are these loops? Will this be stronger than putting a brummel splice on each end and a girth hitch on each end, or should I use one of these through the block and a girth hitch on just one end?
You can find the breaking strenghts on our website. The loops are stronger especially for a short distance. www.premiumropes.com/dyneema-loop
Magic.
great video! what is the remaining %of strengh with a such splice?
It is twice the material but not twice the strength. So for safety we refer to the breaking load of a single braided rope.
thank you
Hey guys, is there a rule of thumb to understand what's the minimum diameter/finished length of the loop based on the rope diameter?
yes, Indeed there is. Check our other video for a dyneemaloop th-cam.com/video/uzK0gApBrCg/w-d-xo.html

Instead of stitching it, couldn't you use a brummel lock before you taper it?
+Marcos Mcgee For a loop its not possible to lock it. We have to stich it.
it is possible. here's how. th-cam.com/video/tRe6q7jjbsY/w-d-xo.html
@@maan7358 th-cam.com/video/DUSYUsWprc8/w-d-xo.html a cleaner video of a locked brummel.
Brummel lock where the loop intersects or joins each other to make the loop then bury the tail ends into the loop.
@@maan7358 Yes, to make a locked brummel continuous loop, you have to un-braid and re-braid one of the buried tails. But that sacrifices a bit of the rope strength, and is also a lot more time consuming that just popping in some locking stitches.
What thread did you use to lock the loop?
We use "normal" whipping twine
@@Premiumropes what does that mean? Waxed polyester? Dyneema thread? Sewing thread?
I would have thought the point you measure off depends on the size of loop you want to make. I have just had a go trying to make a larger loop and have ended up with a nice loop but with two sections of rope at one end. Am i missing something?
You will need at least 2x 60 times the diameter of the Dyneema for it to remain at strength. Check our new video which is a bit clearer about the measurements. For stronger loops use this method th-cam.com/video/zz0V0AVXX-E/w-d-xo.html
That will work in an emergency if you double the strengths necessary because it's only half the strength of doing it the right way even though you're using 2/3 of the necessary rope to do it the right way. And actually it's probably only 1/3 as strong because at a certain point there the Rope sense because you do not have enough core to fill out the entire Loop. In addition every single Stitch that you have put into it ensures that you have a Breaking Point. I hope you're using a dyneema core strand as your thread. And again I would trust it for less than 1/3 of the strengths one would expect out of that diameter material as every Stitch will reduce the overall strength even more.
What is the name of the tool?
