Enhance Your Cordage Splicing with Wellington Cordage S6034 Splicing Fid - 3-Pack! Review

They do what is expected of them. I like that there are 3 packs. That way I have options and can get the right size for the job.

This is a very cheap plastic but just what I needed for splicing end loops in polyethylene ropes. For this type of rope, don't spend more money on something else.

What can I say? These plastic connectors do exactly what they are supposed to! They easily thread nylon cord or strands of rope to form a splice, end or eyelet! They are inexpensive and should last a long time with proper use and storage!

I use these to pull braided rope from the elastic to the opposite side of the plastic sheet, make a loop through the elastic and use the bungee cord through the loop of the braided cord. Instead of just pulling canvas elastic. Strong winds double the life of the plastic tarpaulin I use for the kennel and some equipment we don't have storage space for. They will come in handy.

At about 12 years old I learned to use a chuck and spliced and twisted every length of rope I thought I needed. G-kids had never heard of the lining and was wondering how such large and otherwise "complicated" rope shapes are made. FIDs come in a variety of price ranges and these are the cheapest I could find to capture the imagination of G-kids. A great article to pass on practical know-how that may disappear in a generation.

I ordered these to splice a new synthetic cable for my winch. Ideal for work. Could have spent MUCH more, I'm glad I didn't. These feeds arrived in a very timely manner (hooray, Prime). First time using this product, first time connecting line. Worked well, no problem with the plastic stitching gripping the cords - easy to slip through synthetic winch rope. They will be added to my bag if I ever need repairs while traveling.
