This is a excellent cord for general anchor building. Its super strong for its diameter adding an extra safety factor while still maintaining the tie-ability and hand of other cordelettes of a similar size. It has kind of a wire like feel to it but i like that.
Stronger than the standard non-powercord 7mm cordelette (MBS 19kN compared to 12.4kN). This makes it easier to handle for prusik by cutting one of the longer ones (7.6m) in half. Very convenient. Different colors make it handy to distinguish the length. What more can you ask for?

Love this stuff. It is stiff like others have commented but i had no trouble tying knots with it, and throw in a huge 19kn strength and im sold. I used this to re-sling some hexes and will be using the rest for light easy anchor slingage.
Been using this for a while now, all for a number of utilities from Anchors, prussicks, general cord and slings. And one thing is, its tough! Takes a real beating and comes out no worse for wear. Much stronger than other 6mm cord around, and once a knot is set and underload it grips amazingly well.As others have said, its quite stiff and can be hard to perform some knots with. It also needs a bit more care than other cord when you cut it to lengths. Still that hasn't stopped me buying more of it!
I don't know what the other people are talking about tough to tie, they must be beginners. I have the 7.6 mil, and I find it easy to tie. Plus i used mine extensively over the last year, and other than some dirt, discoloration, it shows no signs of wear so far.
