{"product_id":"sea-dog-stainless-steel-splicing-fid-hardwood-handle","title":"Sea-Dog Stainless Steel Splicing Fid, Hardwood Handle","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eEvery rigger needs a good fid, and this Sea-Dog stainless steel splicing fid earns its spot in the bag. The tapered stainless spike opens up rope strands cleanly, and the hardwood handle gives you something solid to push against. Sized for line from 1\/8 up to 1\/2 inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fid is one of those tools you don't think about until you're halfway through a splice with no way to open the strands. This Sea-Dog splicing fid solves that. The body is stainless steel, so it won't rust when it lives in a damp cockpit locker or a rigging bag that never fully dries out. The tapered point slides between the strands of three-strand rope and holds them open while you tuck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's rated for line from 1\/8 inch up to 1\/2 inch, which covers most of what you'll splice on a boat. Dock lines, anchor rode, fender lines, that sort of thing. The hardwood handle is the part your palm will thank you for. When you're pushing the fid through tight lay, a bare metal shaft digs into your hand. This one gives you a real grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 6-13\/16 inches long, it's big enough for real work but still tucks into a ditty bag. One fid, sold single. If you splice your own lines, it's worth keeping on board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel body shrugs off rust in a damp locker or rigging bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTapered point opens three-strand rope for clean, tight splices\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits line from 1\/8 inch up to 1\/2 inch, covering most dock and anchor line\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHardwood handle gives a solid grip when you're pushing through tight lay\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-13\/16 inch length handles real splicing yet stows in a ditty bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Sea-Dog reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat rope sizes does this fid work with?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's made for line from 1\/8 inch up to 1\/2 inch.
