Is braided rope stronger than twisted?

Compared to twisted rope, braided rope is stronger and has nicer look on the hands which is widely known as the most durable rope. The braid craft reduces the stretch pressure of the rope and makes it thicker, ideal for many daily applications, but it's too hard to splice yourself. Thus if you're using a windlass and chain, and doing your own splicing, it is a better choice to use twisted rope.

2.Different features during uasage: Baided rope is more flexible and stronger than twisted rope.It has smoother touch feeling. Twisted rope is easy to splice and more economic with low cost.More stretch and better for the outdoor than braided rope.

3.Strength capabilities: Twisted rope has higher strength capabilities than braided rope.
