Splicing kit

[WorcsWuss]

My strop is getting a bit tired and I want to make up something a bit more tailored than my current lanyard set up.... This will involve some splicing!

Anyone know where I can get a basic splicing kit like the Samson one in the uk?

I haven't found anything at the usual places and amazon draws a blank.... Suggestions anyone?

Give Nod at treeworker a ring. He is your man

A wire did from nod. Sailmakers palm, some needles, whipping twine and a wire did and plain nosed pliers and a marlin spike should set you up.

 

Plus some instructions.

 

Enjoy.

All the kit on the treeworker site is quite expensive, the Samson kit is around 40 quid, but I've only found it on US websites.....

Cheers Rich.... Best way for me to go then is probably to decide what I want to splice then get someone to tell me what I need to splice it.....

Go on Samson website and download the pdfs all the info is in there. The kit Rich has described is all you neef to get going.

I have all the fids, wand etc, but mostly use:

Wire, 8mm fid, Needle, Whipping Twine, Tape/ruler, Sharp knife/scissors and a lot of elbow grease.

 

 

 

have fun

which Samson splicing kit are you on about?

all the ones i can see on their website are all but useless for splicing arb ppe ropes, perhaps you'd be best off finding a mentor or, better still, booking yourself on to a splicing course? give nod a ring at treeworker he is a top bloke and will tell you all you need to know, he's one of the few people in this industry you can take his word as pretty much gospel, if he doesn't know he'll say so, not bull sh** you like too many people in this trade.

 

alternatively if your traveling down Bristol way give me a PM and you can come have a go with me, i've got some spare wire fids etc for you to borrow
