I just got 2 50’ winch cables off of Amazon. Less than $25 a piece and free shipping. Just have to take apart the locked Brummell to get the metal ring out. Read the description to make sure it’s actually Amsteel.
There are 2 different Amsteels, sk60 and sk75. The 60 is cheaper and not sure it has the UV resistance. Its probably fine for sticks and the UV isnt really an issue since most of us dont leave our amsteel outside all year. I was shocked to see that winch cable so much cheaper than bulk cord. Sucks when you can buy a product and tear it apart cheaper than raw materials. I ran into this trying to by expanded sheet metal(think screen). A company quoted me like $70 for a piece of mesh to cover an air opening in my car bumper. I was able to buy a trash can from walmart and cut it apart for like $5. How ridiculous is that?
