XiaZ 30ft Dog Tie Out Cable, Heavy Duty Dog Chains for Outside with Lockable Hook, Pet Runner Cable Leads for Yard, Dogs Line Tether for Small Medium Large Dogs Up to 250 LBS

Latch safety clasp. Our dogs are large and run to the end of the cable. The end that is latched didn't bend, but the end at the dogs is never latched and shows stress from not being latched.

My dog requires a tether. She’s great at getting stuck, but this one doesn’t knot up badly. It’s also very durable. My other dog has chewed through them before and this one has no damage. It’s easy to latch and unlatch so even my kids can let her in and out.

We bought this for our grand dog he is a husky/labadoodle mix, he is a handful and has broken a few snaps on cables this one is super strong and he hasn't broken it yet!

IMPORTANT NOTE: You will notice two images attached to this review. Both images have stories behind them, and it is imperative that you consider them in context. If you can't/don't want to read this full review, disregard the images and only read the title or the summary at the end. Thanks.At the time of writing this review, I have purchased seven (7) of these cables for my two dogs, all of which are the 250lbs/20ft variety. One dog is a 55-pound big boi, and the other is a miniature Australian Shepard. Both are pretty active, and remain on the line 24/7. I'll save you the guesswork on how two dogs have gone through 7 cables and say that the little dog has gone through an average of 1 cable every 2 months, and the big dog an average of 1 cable every 1.5 months. Some of this is due to wear and tear, but a lot of this is due to neglect/tinkering by myself. Allow me to share some of the insights I have had over the past 4 months.- You need a swivel. I cannot emphasize this enough, but unless you intend on tying a vegetable to the end of this cable, you need to add your own swivel. Two, ideally. I did not add a swivel when first using this cable, and so my dog spent the night at the base of his stob because of how knotted up the line was. Depending on how you connect this cable to a base (more on that below), a swivel connector on the dog end may be sufficient.- The connector isn't great. It's made out of solid, thick metal, but the actual mechanism for the clasp is far from ideal. Like with any push-in clasp, if a dog sits on it right, they can push it open and free themselves (and they will at exactly every inconvenient time). This is somewhat solvable by the lock on the clasp, but you will need a good pair of plyers and a strong grip to make that lock anywhere near reliable long-term. My local Tractor Supply sells expensive, but quality cattle latches (ones that open by pulling the latch out, so the doggo can't push it open), and I use that as the actual dog connector, plus the above plyers and strong grip to keep it attached.- Base connections are complicated. Unless you are hooking the base side of the cable directly onto a small pole, you will need to come up with something clever. You can see the connector in the product images; it's only going to open so wide. I personally prefer getting a short length of chain, looping one end, and using that as the base. Not a problem with the product, but important to consider for your situation.- Long-term durability is not fantastic. This is where the two images come in, and they'll need some explanation. First of all, remember that I am using this cable on two dogs that are on it 24/7, are fairly or very active, and regularly pull quite hard. If you don't need this cable for that or a similar purpose, it might last you years. The image with the frayed end is mostly my fault. You can see that it does not have the default connector, and that is because I was dumb and angle-grinded it off. This, as you can probably guess, damaged the vinyl (plastic?) covering, resulting in increased stress on the steel cable and faster rusting. In the end, this otherwise fine tie line had to be replaced because the frayed cabling was scratching my dog a bit. This does, however, serve as a good example of what happens to the cable when the vinyl covering comes off from just regular wear and tear. The other image is taken from around the middle of one of my old cables and shows that the covering has worn off, exposing the steel cable to the elements. Once, I left the cable like this for too long, and my dog managed to straight-up pull it in two, freeing himself (no image provided, as I threw it away immediately without thinking - sorry). This is, by far, the biggest issue with the tie line. The steel cable is quality, the clasps are workable, and the vinyl keeps the dogs from hurting themselves... right up until it wears off. From what I can tell, this starts as the covering splitting, possibly from being kinked too much by my dog running in circles. I can't say for sure, but it is definitely the biggest thing to look out for on this tie line.Summary (TL/DR):Overall, this is a good cable for $15. Be mindful of how you're actually going to connect it to a base, and I highly recommend putting a swivel somewhere along it. Durability-wise, it will probably last between 1 and 3 months for continuous use - depending on the size and activity of your dog - but likely significantly longer otherwise.Thank you for attending my TED Talk.

Works good, no rust after being outside for a year

We have this for our large aggressive dog. This thing is top notch! Would buy again!

Love the clasps on either end - definitely is very secure and your precious pet won't be running off into the sunset!Over time, like all other products similar to this, the plastic chips/rubs away to reveal the metal underneath. It happened on both ends of the line right after the metal bar thing (not on the loops but on the actual line itself). Doesn't help that my dog likes to carry the line in his mouth as he trots around the yard (but he doesn't gnaw on it). I would say it is chew proof but after your dog gets to the metal, it's probably just time to throw it out. This came after a month or so of use.It is the most tangle-free line we have used with our dog. I think I may try another type of line just because this seems to be the flaw of every line like this.

I LOVED this 50ft cable tie out, UNTIL IT BROKE 9months after purchase (purchased Feb2022).PROS: The Carabiners that used to come on it are very sturdy, remained rust free and easily lock/unlock (I noticed the newer version of this tie out have different ends and look like they will easily break). The cable itself remained tangle-free w/no kinks, bends or creases and we didn’t have any problems with it knotting itself, which is why this has been my favorite tie out so far.CONS: The design flaw is near the ends, where the cable loops the carabiner and is crimped closed. This part of the cable isn’t coated/protected, leaving it vulnerable to the elements which causes it to rust and weaken. It originally had a loose plastic sleeve over the cable crimp, but it never stayed in place and fell off of the cable entirely a couple of months after purchase. I didn’t research what gauge or type of material the cable is made from, but I assume it isn’t a high grade steel since it rusts and degrades so easily.REMEDY: Instead of buying a new tie out for $25-$35 that likely won’t last a year - I’m going to the hardware store to buy new crimps, so that I can reuse the existing carabiners and main part of the cable. Fingers crossed that I can figure out a material to coat the cable ends with — maybe I can get another 9 months of use out of it. Thankfully my 75lb GSD has decent recall and isn’t a ‘runner’ (our cable is only used when we aren’t outside with her). If you have a dog that will ‘take off’ if given the opportunity - I HIGHLY recommend you keep a close eye on the cable ends, because they’ll definitely snap, it’s just a matter of time.

would highly recomend..well buit..

One of the carabineer snapped on the first use. Quite disappointed as the cable was looped several times around the tree. The cable is fine but now I have to order separate more heavy duty carabineer.

- The Lifetime Assurance is great.- The cable arrived in perfect condition.- The cable itself has a clear plastic covering so it is protected from various elements of weather and wear.- Happy we got it and can safely recommend.

It’s strong, but not made of stainless, it’s rusted and started to break, I have to buy a new one already only after a few months.But after the seller seen my review that the product had failed, they offered a full refund! So they do have great customer service!!

Idéal pour attacher son chien et jouer avec. Le câble ne s'emmèle pas et reste droit et souple.Le mousqueton est de bonne qualité et ne rouille pas .Je le recommande sans réserve. !!
