Samson Rope Splicing Kit for Double-Braid Rope — 1/4–1/2-inch Fids, 5 Aluminum Tools & Pusher

Samson Rope Splicing Kit supplies five tubular aluminum fids plus a small pusher and clear instructions to splice 1/4"–1/2" double braid rope cleanly and reliably.

This all-in-one splicing set from Samson Rope is built to help sailors, riggers, and rope technicians make professional eye splices in common double-braid lines. The kit includes five sizes of tubular fids that match popular rope diameters, a compact pusher tool for tucking strands, and step-by-step guidance for a Class One double braid eye splice. All pieces are lightweight and corrosion-resistant, engineered for repeated use on deck, dock, or in the workshop.

Which rope diameters will this splicing kit handle?

The kit accommodates most standard small-to-medium double-braid running rigging, covering the range from 1/4" up to 1/2" line. Each tubular fid is sized to work with a specific rope diameter so you can form neat, secure splices without overstretching or cutting fibers.

• Includes fids for 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 7/16", and 1/2" ropes
• Tubular design guides rope cores during tucking for consistent tension
• Small pusher assists precise placement of strand ends

How do the tools make splicing easier and neater?

Aluminum tubular fids give a smooth, rigid channel for feeding the rope’s core and cover, preventing snagging and uneven tucks. The small pusher acts as a finishing tool to seat strands cleanly, while the included instructions walk you through each tuck to reduce common mistakes.

• Lightweight aluminum resists corrosion and slides through fibers smoothly
• Clear fid sizes minimize trial-and-error when choosing tools
• Step-by-step instructions shorten learning curve for new splicers

What comes in the kit and how is it organized?

The Samson kit is compact and focused: five tubular fids, one small pusher, and printed instructions for a Class One double braid eye splice. The compact set is convenient to store in a tool bag or deck locker and easy to bring aboard for on-the-spot repairs.

• Five anodized aluminum tubular fids sized for common rope diameters
• Small pusher for final tucks and dressing the splice
• Complete printed instructions for a Class One double braid eye splice

Can I use this kit on coated or specialty double-braid lines?

The kit is intended for standard double-braid constructions; the tubular fids and pusher work best with uncoated or lightly coated lines where fibers can be tucked. For heavily coated or heat-sealed covers, evaluate compatibility first and perform a test splice to confirm desired fit and finish.

• Best with standard double-braid running rigging and generic covers
• Test on coated lines before committing to a final splice
• Use correct fid size to avoid damaging rope cover or core

Who is this for: The Samson Rope Splicing Kit suits boat owners, riggers, sailmakers, race crews, and anyone who regularly maintains or customizes double-braid lines. If you want durable eye splices without relying on adhesives or expensive machinery, this compact kit gives the essential tools and guidance to produce consistent, serviceable splices on 1/4"–1/2" rope.
