Expensive for what it is
Not always suitable ... so ideally other tools, long needle for example

splice fid
More expensive, but also better than a plastic Fid, which has much more friction and makes pushing through the Fids very difficult. This is the weapon of choice when splicing.

Great set of needles. Do exactly what they have to do. The supplied manual is slightly different from the descriptions that can be found on Youtube. (I personally think that is better; eg: http://www.samsonrope.com/Pages/SpliceInstructions.aspx).

The splicing with the fids is fine, material and workmanship without defects. But, one should not imagine the whole thing too easy. Splicing is not rocket science, but some eyes to practice with an old rope are already necessary before you get on the beautiful new rope. Instructions are available on the internet, but very few on Selma-Fids. The right lengths and distances should be tested (before it gets serious).

Can damage the core
The fid is not a pipe, rather it's bent inwards to create the shape, but there still is a small gap.
When splicing a tight rope, the core would get stuck in the gap and hence damaged while the fid was being pulled through the rope. I believe this design flaw was accepted for the sake of easy manufacturing.
Surely people still make it work, but it's far from ideal. I think next time I'd look at GLEISTEIN, but they are significantly more expensive.

Perfect but expensive for what it is!

For 10mm braided rope, a Fid is an idea too petite and the next bigger too clunky. So a crooked and broken hands. Enthusiasm looks different.

The set is a small guide, but does not replace a book about splicing, it should not. everything else is normal
