Selma FID - Ultimate Rope Splicing Tool

For their functionality, definately 5 stars. The price is unfortunately, even for boating stuff, a bit on the high side. I'm hoping to do a follow-up review in 50 years time in which I say that they are still working well. Otherwise "ouch". Though I did keep them and they are very nice to use.

こちらは4本入りでした。商品画像が5本入りでしたので商品到着後返品して5本入りを注文し直しました。 商品の発送、返金処理共に迅速でした。 商品自体は定番の良いものです。

This kit has most sizes of fits to work with all common size ropes. A little tricky to learn the steps to make the perfect eye but after a couple of attempts, I got it. Great quality stainless steel. Edit: after using this set a few times, I have discovered a flaw that is really annoying. The fids are rolled stainless steel and there is a small gap where the rolling comes together. This created a horrendous problem when I use them on double braided dock rope because when feeding the fid through, the fine core strands become lodged in the "crack" and bunch up in the process totally screwing up the splice. I will probably toss these in the recycle bin and purchase a set of finds that do not have this defect. Pity as they were quite expensive. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this product.

Good product, just wish instructions were in english.

Very impressed with the quality of these fids. The instructions supplied with photos was also a great help. Only negative is that I believe they are over priced.
