It's handy and I've seen that a bunch, but I'm not a fan because it can shake loose, especially if the load shifts and the strap becomes loose. If that happens it will vibrate violently, and pipe (surprise my most common item I'm tying down) is very prone to shifting. I coil then wrap with the...

The pour point of canola is -9c, which means when a container of it is tipped that's the point where it doesn't even move anymore. I'm not for sure that's what caused it to strip the thread, it's just plastic after all. I didn't notice the temps when it broke, but it does hit -40 here on...

I didn't run mine dry, and it's just a little abs plastic worm screw. I've since started cutting the canola with acetone and that seems to be the ticket here. I also keep everything in an unheated garage, so it's basically asking it to gel.

Yup, there's standards for this especially for the European rating, it's basically a pretty long factor 2 fall (rope stretched above and falls 2 rope lengths, aka worst case scenario) with the expected size of a climber, done repeatedly until the rope breaks. The rope then has a number of falls...

If they were that desperate i don't see why someone didn't just cut it down themselves?
