I was at my local home depot the other day, and they had 3/16th steel cable for about .45c a foot, which is pretty reasonable (For, pick it up and pay no shipping costs). However, what I didn't get, was that it said it had a rating of 750lbs. I thought 3/16th had a rating of like 4000 lbs. Am I comparing apples to apples here? Dave, W5DMT
