Mule Tape (Rope)

[rlewis581]

I have a suggestion about rope. Have you ever heard of or used "mule tape"? It is a flat braided (rope-like) tape used for pulling wire in conduit. The idea for its use is, unlike rope, the flat tape won't cut into or through a 90 degree bend in PVC conduit as easily as a round rope when pulling wire under a lot of strain or pressure from its heavy weight and length. I am an electrical contractor, both here in AZ and in UT, a master electrician, have been in the trade for over 30 years and have pulled miles of wire, cable and fiber optic. This "mule tape" is extremely strong, can be bought in different breaking strengths, is light and takes less room than rope when packed. I have looped it (4x) between two heavy loaded utility work trucks to pull one out that was stuck in the sand. It also (being flat) could have better results in not cutting into a tree branch when you need to throw a rope up and over a high branch to pull something up. I use it for tying everything. I have it in my back packs and in my vehicles.
Just some thoughts of mine.
Does anyone else have any useful ideas that they have used "mule tape" for???
Hope this can help someone somewhere.
