Review on 🧵 Samson Rope Splicing Kit (Including 1/4-Inch and 1/2-Inch Fids) by Matt Jenkins

The quality is very good but this type of feed is disappointing. Because it is a machined aluminum pole, the insertion hole is small, so you need to glue the lining to the rope, which causes more problems. Sure, maybe I just don't know how to use it properly, but that's still a problem with this product BECAUSE IT COMES WITH NO INSTRUCTIONS. The pusher is one thing no one should ever buy. First, you don't need a pusher; You can "milk" the Fida with a rope of any length. But if you still need a pusher, go to a hardware store, buy a 1/8" brass rod, bend one end into a handle, cut to length, and file the working end with a file and 800- grit. sandpaper. Just as good if not better and MUCH cheaper. Selma style feeds (thin stainless steel bowls with an open hole for gripping the rope) are better in my opinion - they would normally see experienced welders at work, but an equivalent set is twice the price of this one. Think Fast Fid by Factor 55 is the best option (which I plan to buy instead). Slightly more expensive but I love how simple, compact and convenient it is: https://www.amazon.com/Factor-55-Fast-Rope-Splicing/dp/B07GFHZS5Q/ref=sr_1_15?keywords=splicing+fid&qid= 1575228694&sr=8-15
