So up for grabs.... Unbreakable bow drill cord, doubled over and twisted to get maximum grip and minimal slipping, very wear resistant high quality kevlar with sown loop. About 1.5m long and 3mm thick. I have worn through about 70m of paracord, in the same amount of use as I have one of these, and still looks like new.

Weight rating is 200kg, before doubling over and twisting, so ~320kg as a guess now.

So advertised as a bow drill cord, but this is honestly the most useful thing I carry in the pocket, I have used it to tie an fallen exhaust up as flame/heat proof, make do lead for stray dogs, pull cord for a mower, aid with shopping bags (shoulder strap or handle wrap), and even a make do clever baby harness. Great bit of kit to have at hand.
