The Boy Scout Motto is "Be Prepared." This is one of those items that has so many uses that one kicks himself for not getting it earlier. Whether towing a car, scrambling (not to be confused with a *professional* static line), tree trimming, etc., this fits the bill.The rope is made of polyester so it should be at least as strong in working load and tensile strength as its nylon counterpart. However, the breaking strength is asserted to be 12KN which is somewhat less than the 18KN typical of a 3/8" climbing rope.As well, though the carabiners are a nice touch (and are screw-locking), they are not visibly rated. Personally, I'd replace them with PETZL Am'd Ball Lock (27KN).I got the orange rope -- not only because it is harder to misplace, but it can also double as a "safety flag" by wrapping a few turns around gear extending out the back of a vehicle (mandated by law?).

I added this to my camping/Outdoors backpack, and I have found it to be great for setting up canopies hanging food packs pulling kids out of caves/ravines even climbing trees. While I'm not a professional rock climber I have been able to find many uses for this 10mm rope. Bradding is nice and tight. Rope is thick enough to grab a hold of. Has held up 265lb. without issues. Nice bright color (orange) very easy to see. Great flex and stretch to it. The two carabiners it comes with are a bit stiff but work great and lock solid. Carabiners hold up very well to abuse. Threads are smooth allowing you to unscrew and operate carabiner with one hand. Nicely made with good performance. The price for the length is good and on the lower side average price for this size and length is roughly $30 give or take five dollars.

Firstly, I really do not know much of anything about rope standards and their certifications. The item description for this rope states that it has "CE Certification of EN 892:2012+A1:2016 Standards" but I do not know what that means and there is no actual certifications that came with or on the rope itself. I get the impression that given the fact that it is advertised as a climbing rope, it should have come with other certifications to be deemed trustworthy.With that said, the rope and the carabiners seem robust and durable. I got it to use as a safety line while doing work on the outside of my house and it should work well for that purpose. The rope seems well made and the carabiners are beefy with no sideways play in the spring arm. I personally feel like I can trust it but I am also not going to go climb Mount Everest with it either. The only complaint I have with it is the plastic wear guards used in the rope loops. I just do not see how those are going to hold up over time.

So, the rope is new and seems very nice. Not sure how I feel about the stitching to make the loops... looks nice, but I am a little wary about testing their strength.While the rope is nice, I'm not sure what the true strength rating is for it. And because of that I would not use this when injuries or lives would be at stake.The carabiners are cheap, and I'm not sure what their strength rating is.I will use this rope for practicing on the ground and things unrelated to climbing where if the rope were to break, no one would get hurt.
