Rope Accessories
Explore our quality range of rope accessories designed for a wide variety of marine, outdoor, and industrial applications. Whether you’re working on splicing, rigging, or general rope maintenance, Action Outdoors provides the tools and fittings you need for safe and efficient handling. Our collection includes stainless steel splicing fids in multiple sizes and lengths, ideal for creating professional rope splices with ease.
Each splicing fid features a smooth polished stainless steel shaft and a comfortable wooden handle, ensuring control and durability when working with different rope types. Choosing the correct size fid depends on your rope diameter—ranging from small fids suitable for up to 10mm rope, to large fids designed for 20mm and above. This ensures a precise, clean splice every time, maintaining the rope’s strength and reliability.
Our rope accessories also include thimbles, shackles, and splicing tools, perfect for marine, camping, and general-purpose use. Whether you’re repairing, joining, or creating custom rope assemblies, we have the right tools for the job.
Visit our Rope Accessories range to find detailed guides on rope splicing and knots, along with the essential equipment trusted by outdoor enthusiasts and professionals alike.

The length of the splicing tool called a "fid", may or may not have a 1:1 correlation with the fid length for a given rope diameter.
Fids are used for splicing ropes easily. These are made of stainless steel, with a wooden handle.
