A complete set of all the useful splicing fids (splicing tools). The Samson Splicing Kit includes five aluminium tubular fids designed for splicing climbing or rigging lines of 1/4" (6mm), 5/16" (8mm), 3/8"(9mm), 7/16" (11mm), 1/2" (12mm) in diameter. The kit includes a small fid pusher with abbreviated splicing instructions for the Class I and II Double-Braid Samson ropes. Conveniently packed in a see-through plastic tube for safe storage. Treetools recommends investing in the Samson Splicing Manual for more in-depth splicing instruction, particularly Samson Ropes. Samson Splice Training Videos are also available. The Samson Splicing Kit is essential for anyone wishing to learn how to splice. Samson explicitly designed these fids for Samson ropes, but you can also use them on all ropes of similar construction. You will also need splicing scissors, whipping twine, needles and Sailors Palm to finish the splice.
