Samson 901064000000 1 Inch Aluminum Fid

The Samson 901064000000 is a 1-inch aluminum fid designed specifically for splicing double braid rope. Double braid splicing requires threading the rope's inner core through its outer jacket in a precise sequence, and a properly sized fid is essential for guiding the strands without damaging the rope fibers. At 1 inch, this fid matches the corresponding rope diameter, giving a snug fit that keeps the splice tight and professional-looking.

Crafted from aluminum, the fid strikes a balance between structural rigidity and low weight. For riggers, marine professionals, and arborists who perform multiple splices in a session, the lighter material reduces hand and wrist fatigue compared to heavier steel alternatives. Samson's long history in the cordage industry lends confidence that the tool's dimensions and taper are engineered to work seamlessly with standard double braid constructions. It is a simple, single-purpose tool — no frills, no extras — that does one job and does it well.
