"description": "The compact design of this Swaged Wire Rope makes it up to 26% stronger than standard winch lines of the same diameter. The outer wires have a larger surface area than standard winch lines, providing better resistance to wear and tear. The already compact line is also resistant to abrasion, pig tailing, kinking and drum crushing. The 6 x 26 IWRC construction features a stainless steel duplex sleeve that maximizes sleeve to wire rope contact and a strong alloy Hook and Latch. Design Factor: 3.55:1 Ratio. NOTE: Match to your existing wire rope size or check your winch manufacturer's wire rope size recommendation before ordering.",
