I'm gonna call you out JTree, and say, you are officially a rope geek [emoji12]

 

[JTree]

Lol, yeah.....I've made peace with it.

 

[JTree]

I made 2 of these. One for 1/4"-1/2", one for 9/16"-1". Saves time.

3 different measurements for each fid length, 1 line for short fid, 2 close lines for half fid length, 3 close lines for full fid length.

 

[JTree]

These come in a pack 6 at harbor freight for 2 bucks. 15 seconds with a dremel, best strand pickers ever.

I know these aren't splices, but they sure make the job easier and more enjoyable.

I use a cotter key extractor to pick strands and dig core out. Looks like a screwdriver handle with a hook. Works amazing

Great tools, my measuring trick is on pieces of cardboard, over 4yrs old and still holding out

Not a criticism, but is the cover bunched on the bottom picture or is it the photo?

 

[Sgriff]

Criticism welcome by all means!!

It is not bunched,its like the big fish picure taking, that part of the cord is closer to the camera, the cover is actually tighter than they come from Yale. Im using it today,i will post a pic after a days use. Good looking out though TommyB,appreciated greatly.

Doesn't look like your outside"boat cleat" is that much stronger.

 

[Sgriff]

Lol i assume your referring to the skinny piece of rope,its some sterling brand somthin er other, 5k+lb rating.

But it did start looking lil strained when i moved the choke to the trunk and cranked on the comealong

 

[oldoakman]

Actually I was referring to the tree.

 

[Sgriff]
