Key design details
- 178mm stainless-steel fid provides rigid support and smooth threading for rope cores, helping you achieve consistent, professional splices.
- Ergonomic wooden handle offers a secure grip and tactile feedback, improving accuracy during delicate passes and reducing hand fatigue on longer splicing sessions.
- Slender, tapered tip minimizes snagging as you work through fibres, enabling cleaner entrances into rope strands.
- Compatibility with a range of rope diameters—the fid length can scale with rope size, so larger diameters may benefit from a longer fid for easier splicing.
- Hard-wearing construction built to endure frequent field use, with corrosion resistance ideal for marine, rigging, and workshop applications.
Applications and use cases
