4.0 out of 5 stars Good product for arm strength, August 3, 2005

The rope was very long when I received it, but then I unscrewed the handles and cut the rope and shuved the remaining of it with the not inside the handlebar, which was fairly easy to do, now it's perfect length and the weight really helps with the strengthening of your arms/shoulders, it's definitely a great workout!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good rope......How to keep untangled below!, March 21, 2007

This is a fine rope. Leather is always better, but this rope works fine IF you make sure the weights are BENEATH the springs in the handle. I had the same tangling problem because I had removed the weights and put one of them on top of the spring, which is incorrect. This causes the end of the rope and swivel fitting not to move freely, and the rope twists and becomes tangled. Great way to add some weight training to a running and calisthenics workout.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just when I got used to it, it broke!, February 23, 2008

I found that the nylon "rope" material was very lightweight and hard to get used to. Even my wife had a hard time with it. It spins just fine and fairly easy to adjust--no problems there. I use it in my garage and a few times the handle slipped out of my hand after catching my foot and this last time the handle shattered. I am now looking for a new jumprope and probably won't repurchase this one, even though I have by now gotten used to the higher speeds necessary to keep this rope tight. The weighted handles had a good feel to them and spun well, but it broke when I dropped it. I need something a little more durable.
