Take the overall length of you wiring
Make sure your cable/wiring is shorter than this braiding. I didn't and I'm short about 3 feet. Other than that (which was my mistake) it easy to use. Just take your time and don't try to slide too much at a time otherwise it'll snag up.

Great product!
I'm a huge cable/wire nerd, everyone in my family makes a joke of it, anyway, this stuff is simply fantastic! I made a 50 ft extension cord for my welder with 3 individual - 10ga stranded THHN wires (not Romex), taped with carefully double wrapped black electrical tape every 6 inches or so - I didn't want to make any spots that would create humps which would have made it difficult to insert into this sheath, which was a very good idea! The diameter measured .31 at the spots without the tape, slightly more with the tape. I struggled with getting 1/4 or 3/8, but I ended up getting 1/4 and it's looks great. It was relatively easy to put on. It is a 50 ft cable, so once I got past the middle, it got a little more challenging, but nothing a little patience couldn't address. The end result was really impressive. And, I've got another 50 ft available since I got a 100 ft roll. I'd recommend this to anyone! I'll likely be buying more myself in larger diameters.

This stuff is AWESOME!!
Been doing a bunch of custom lights on my vehicle and wanted everything to look very professional. Note be sure to use a lighter to singe the end before you start feeding your cable through, it makes things MUCH easier. Also the best heat shrink tube to use is the 4:1 ratio. This product is a MUST for making your wiring look great!

Works Well
Works pretty good and cleans up the look of loose wiring. I’ve used it in my engine bay and it’s holding up well against indirect heat. It’s not split so you’ll have to slide it on from an open end.

Installs well, 2 inches at a time
Originally ordered the wrong product, wanted 100 ft of split casing style, and was going to return it. After working with it for a few minutes, found it went on fairly easily. So, four cables, and 40 feet later all was sleeved. Also bought a roll of wiring harness tape to finish the ends neatly, which also works nicely.

As described
Purchased to cover radiator hoses. Tough product that was not difficult to cut with sharp scissors. Installation was smooth and straight forward. After installing we put a metal zip tie/wire tie on each end of the hose to keep the braid from moving. Looks great! Feel much better knowing the lower hose is better protected. Upper hose did not need the covering... installed anyway since we had the hose off. Highly recommended product!

Versatile sleeves, difficult to size
My new kitten is of the opinion that power cords are great chew toys, so I've gone through about 350ft of braided and split tubing to cover pretty much every exposed wire/cable in my house. Since I struggled to figure out the appropriate size of the braided tubing to buy for which cables, I wanted to leave a review with some standard items for reference.I started with 3/8", and that fit my laptop chargers (one Dell with a straight end and one HP with a small L end), GameCube controllers, TV power cords (the kind that unplug from the TV), and several other similar cords perfectly. It fit the more streamlined Metabridge HDMI cables like a glove (the only tricky part was getting it started over the plug), but was just a bit too small to go over the squared-off ends of the Amazon Basics HDMI and generic HDMI that came with my DirecTV setup. It probably would have fit those except it got jammed up in the gap between the metal plug and the bulky plastic casing so it was impossible to get started. It's too small for a standard wall outlet plug.I used 3/8" for my assorted device chargers (iPod, Kindle, Samsung phone, etc), but you would probably be safe getting 1/4" if that's the only thing you need to cover. I don't know what else you would use 1/4" for except if you have a cable with no connector on the end. It has to be tiny.To make sure I could cover some larger plugs, I ordered 3/4" next. That is HUGE compared to 3/8", expands much more for its width, and was total overkill for the few standard wall outlet plugs and Nintendo 64 controllers I used it for. For bulkier plugs like RCA cables, bigger wall plugs, and a power cords with accumulators, it was still a bit big, but that meant it was much easier to get started. If you don't mind the weird look of a huge flat ribbon over smaller cords, 3/4" should fit pretty much anything in your house. I'm saving the rest of that for whenever I get behind my larger TV and want to bundle its wiring together.Update: 1/2" does NOT fit standard wall outlet plugs. It would barely fit over the plugs on my N64 controllers. That size would be good for larger HDMI cables and the like, I'll have to stick with 3/4" for everything else.Random notes after having spent a week of my life kitten-proofing more cables than I knew existed in my house... Make sure you have a lighter and preferably needle nose pliers on hand. Run the lighter under the end right after you cut it, then use a pair of needle nose pliers, the closed end of your scissors, or something metal to push open the end while the plastic is still melty. (You don't have to go overboard melting it to keep it from fraying.)I'll echo a couple other reviews and say that, to make it easier to get started on big plugs, wedge a pair of needle nose pliers in the end as far as they'll go, then run your lighter around to melt the edges, let it cool, and it will stay open. I used zip-ties to hold the ends in place, and those pulled the widened end back together nicely.If you're not sure whether to get the split or braided sleeve, the first question to ask is if you need to fold up or tightly coil the cord. If yes, get braided. Split is great if you will frequently need to remove the sleeve or where you want the sleeve the same size as the cord without having to account for a plug, and much easier to bundle multiple cords together in, but split will start to come apart if you fold/bend it tightly. Braided is also a lot cheaper.Lastly, do NOT try to pull the sleeve to get it to move! PUSH the sleeve onto the cable, letting it expand and wad up to where you're holding the cord with your other hand, then let it expand down the cord. It should be pretty self-explanatory, but I'm sure there are YouTube videos if you need more help.

Work great for baitcasters
Use the 1” for baitcasters and size up for spinning. Legit though. Heat singe ends, roll open end and you’re good
