Overview

Achieve Perfect Splices with Ease

The Samson Rope Splicing Tool is an essential instrument for crafting professional-grade rope terminations. Available with pushers in Large and Small sizes, each tailored to specific fid dimensions. Ensure you select the correct pusher size to match your fid. Large pushers are optimized for fids sized 9/16" to 1", while small pushers are best suited for fids sized 1/4" to 1/2".

Samson Fids are instrumental in rope splicing, accommodating variations in rope sizes—often requiring a smaller fid than the rope's stated diameter. For instance, splicing a 1/2" rope may benefit from using a 7/16" fid.

  • Manufacturer: Samson
  • Sizes Available: Large (for fids 9/16" to 1"), Small (for fids 1/4" to 1/2")

Key Features

Samson Fids are used in Splicing Rope - Because different ropes vary in size even if they state they are a certain diameter, they can be undersized. In our splicing, we often use one size smaller fid than the rope diameter. For example, for 1/2" rope we would use a 7/16" Fid.

Various sizes available: 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 7/16", 1/2", 9/16", 5/8", 3/4", 7/8" and 1"

Pushers are also available to help with splicing, both large and small pushers

Small pushers are used with Fids 1/4" to 1/2"

Large pushers are used with Fids 9/16" to 1"
