There's Tenex, and there's Tenex-TwoEndCarrier. What is a "carrier", and if it's a strand, how can it not have two ends? I don't have my rigging stuff here, but remembering, and seeing it mentioned in a video, it has a flat side and a round side. How is it braided to accomplish that? Going by memory, it's uniformly braided, but I could be misremembering.

Samsons product page says it's made to deform to better cover objects, which would be good in a sling scenario. I've never seen/held regular Tenex to make a comparison.

Tenex-TEC is a high-strength, low-stretch rope specifically designed with two ends per carrier.

I can imagine how doubling the strands up like they do makes it softer and deforms easierSamsons product page says it's made to deform to better cover objects, which would be good in a sling scenario. I've never seen/held regular Tenex to make a comparison.

ive worked a little with amsteel 12 strand hollow braid and it is fairly "hard" compared to tenex tec although I havent dealt with them in the same sizes, and I believe the amsteel to have been a knockoff (winch on a truck we used to own, never worked)
ive gotta get pics, I had a little rig and ring I made up a while back that ive slowly been robbing rings from the past few weeks for other projects, now ive got a 5/8" tenex tec prusik for my 3/4" line, no idea when I will ever need it but ive got it now
