Splice Easy

There seems to be no end of uses for Dyneema line on sailboats, and although it’s easier to splice than most kinds of rope, a helping hand is always appreciated. Barton’s EasySplice can make eye splices in single braid Dyneema in seconds, not minutes—ideal if you’re making up fiber lifelines, or whiling away the afternoon making soft shackles. The lightweight tool comes with interchangeable rods for line up to 5mm.
