Internal damage, or damage by chemical action, or UV isn't always obvious.Originally Posted by isuzutoo-eh
To help overcome this in the SES we keep rope log-books and anything old; suspect; or in anyway damaged, is chopped into small pieces and destroyed or buried at the tip.
Most steel shackles are not cast and can put up with a hard life, as can steel karabiners. Aluminium karabiners can be damaged by dropping, or scratching so I wouldn't use them for vehicle recovery,

The stitching was never to hold the eye. The eye is formed as you say. The tail is loped back into the core and passed back along the full length of the standing part of the rope, just short of the end where the stopper knot is placed. It's only to prevent someone from pulling the tail back out of the core which isn't too hard to put back but if it's something for sale then I'd rather not have people send them back for a warranty claim because they're pulling them apart.

Supporteri reckon the stitching will still tear.
Instead splice the tail along the standing line, just before the end of yourtail, weave it out and back into the centre of the standing line.
