The cord has been used to lower it from rooftop to ground over and over again, and its still the original cord. Doesn't show the slightest indication of pulling loose.

They are incredibly durable tools and can take serious abuse, neglect and general poor ownership and lack of maintenance.
and dull blades too will still plow through anything as long as you are cutting with the help of gravity
