Sea-Dog Stainless Steel Splicing Fid with Hardwood Handle, 11 Inch, for 1/2 Inch and Up Line - 562016-1

The Sea-Dog Splicing Fid (562016-1) is a time-tested rope-working tool built for expert splicing on line 1/2 inch and up. Its stainless steel body resists corrosion in the marine environment, while the hardwood handle gives you a comfortable, secure grip during repeated use. The precision tip is shaped to part strands cleanly and guide them through the splice, helping you produce neater braids and better-performing splices with less fighting against the rope.

This is a rugged, durable tool meant to hold up to regular use on the dock or aboard, whether you are splicing dock lines, anchor rodes, or other heavier line. At 11 inches overall, it is sized for larger-diameter rope; Sea-Dog also offers a shorter companion fid (562008-1) sized for 1/8 inch to 1/2 inch line, so pick the one that matches the rope you are working.
