I used 3/8" stainless sling for 2 years. It does roll up tighter than the 1/2" one. Mcmaster has a stainless 3/8" sling. The 6' 3/8" SS sling 8942T14 is $65.This cable might be the sleeper product to get. Would the 3/8" work close enough as I need it to roll up smaller than yours does? On looking more closely, the 3/8" is steel while yours is stainless steel. Does that matter?
Yes stainless is a lot harder to cut than carbon steel. You cut carbon steel to orange with a grinder, it starts flowing away in big blobs. Stainless doesn't melt away like that.
Here is the complete wire rope sling page. https://www.mcmaster.com/slings/wire-rope-slings/
You don't want wire rope, the bolt together loops come unbolted with a $4 wrench from Dollar General. Or a $3 plier. My slings have a crimped eye.
BTW mcmaster answers phone questions with a "we don't sell to individuals". Debit cards over the internet communicate better. They do support the sale. UPS lost a $100 6' pry bar 3 weeks ago, denied the claim, mcmaster replaced the order from their own funds.
Pity mcmaster doen't stock the abus 92/80 lock. I had to order that from Zoro industrial via ebay.
