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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sea-Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 562016-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel with hardwood handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor Line Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2 inch and up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 035514562027\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size rope is the Sea-Dog 562016-1 splicing fid designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sea-Dog 562016-1 splicing fid is designed for line 1\/2 inch and up in diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is this splicing fid?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sea-Dog 562016-1 measures 11 inches overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the splicing fid made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is constructed of stainless steel with a hardwood handle for grip and comfort during use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Sea-Dog 562016-1 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e This splicing fid weighs 0.4 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a splicing fid used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e A splicing fid is used to part and separate rope strands to guide them through a splice, and the Sea-Dog 562016-1 is built specifically for this task on heavier line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs there a smaller version for thinner rope?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Sea-Dog also makes the 562008-1 splicing fid, sized for line from 1\/8 inch to 1\/2 inch, as a separate part for smaller-diameter rope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this fid work on smaller diameter line under 1\/2 inch?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 562016-1 is sized for 1\/2 inch and up line; for rope thinner than that, the Sea-Dog 562008-1 fid is the correct size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the handle make splicing easier?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the hardwood handle on the 562016-1 is designed for ease of operation, giving a secure grip while working the fid through rope strands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this fid durable enough for regular dock use?\u003c\/strong\u003e The stainless steel construction of the Sea-Dog 562016-1 is built to be rugged and durable for repeated splicing work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the manufacturer part number for this splicing fid?\u003c\/strong\u003e The manufacturer part number is 562016-1, made by Sea-Dog.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the fid come as a single tool or with accessories?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sea-Dog 562016-1 is a single splicing fid tool with a stainless steel body and hardwood handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the precision tip on this fid do?\u003c\/strong\u003e The precision tip on the 562016-1 is shaped to help produce cleaner splices, neater braids, and improved rope performance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sea-Dog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988826599643,"sku":"S-D-562016-1","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/5306_eaadf038-49fc-4396-b996-74790792236f.jpg?v=1784429803","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sea-dog-562016-1-stainless-steel-splicing-fid-with-hardwood-handle-11-in-for-1-2-in-and-larger-rope","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
