These hollow splicing fids are the easiest tool for splicing three strand rope line with clean results. Insert the stainless steel fid like a marlin spike to break open the weave. The wedge shape spreads the weave more as it is inserted further, clearing space for the strand to pass underneath. The tubular shape guides the strand being passed under the tuck.

Every boater's sail bag should contain a rope splicing tool. You never know when a line will require a splice. Available in small and large sizes.
