What is the UV life?

Nice information

Do this joining end to end splicing good for joining ocean towing on tug boats❓

Snake oil

Isnt this for boats? If so, do surges only ever come in 1's? What happend when the next wave hits and surges back again

If this is the easiest way to do an eye splice in Dyneema double braided line, I see why riggers charge so much!

Perfecto 👍

Samson is truly an awesome company on all levels. Owning my own rope and cordage company for decades, I engineered a nearly identical safety system in the early 1990s. After I sold the company in 2000, I had an opportunity to interview for a position at Sampson. I am glad to see Samson is finally offering the nearly identical system now which they could have done so when I interviewed with them in the early 2000s.

Am curious.. ur great

Dude idk but this is freaking hard

Awesome Feature. Just 2 questions... 1.) What happens if vessel moves further and the defender Breaks at any time (as vessels movement will not stop as the tug in the Video)? 2.) Is the defender floatable or will it cause my floating Main line to sink? Looking forward to rcv more info!

Very bad video too complicate.

What is a 'ROPE PICK"?

Pls give the link of Samson app

To whom this may concern, I was introduced to, and therefore sold, first a hank and then the rest of the best spool, later that day, of 3/4 in double braid samsom rope. No one wanted it and i was in a great need of it. SOLD, the man said, at this hardware shop in Poughkeepsie ny. Many years later, i still have it and in mint condition. Thanks to you and your high quality products. Sincerely,, j.j.

If we do a rope-to-chain slice without an eye, but by cris-crossing the strand pairs with the chain (similar to how it's done with the samson's 3-strand rope-to-chain instruction pdf), will this change the order of the marked/"grey" strands tucking underneath the non marked/"white" strands somehow?

Greetings: I would like to ask you for help with a problem I am having (and I apologize as I am using Google Translate). I recently bought the "Samsong splicing kit for brained ropes" but where I live the ropes I get do not have a braided core but only individual strands. Do you know any techniques to make the eye on this type of rope? Saludos: Me gustaría solicitarle ayuda con un problema que tengo (y pido disculpas ya que estoy usando el traductor de Google). Recientemente compré el "Samsong splicing kit for brained ropes" pero donde vivo las cuerdas que consigo no tienen el alma trenzada sino solamente hilos individuales. ¿Conoce alguna técnica para hacer el ojo en este tipo de cuerda?

Does anyone at Sampson know how to do a true 8 strand join splice?. It's so much smaller, tighter and neater than the 4 pairs of 2. 👍

Why make things more complicated with another splice? Since the only difference appears to be material and not construction.

Marking and tapering the core is completely redundant. In 20 years, I've never done this, especially in new rope. I could see doing it in some used ropes but I've never done it in those either. Onece i get the core sticking out the cover i removed all of the slack pull the core out about 1/2" and cut it where it comes out of the cover, remove the slack again to suck the core in then pull the cover over to finish the eye. No need to taper!

I cannot for the life of me get the core from mark X to Z. I tried a smaller find, still no luck. What’s the trick?

Would it make sense to apply tension on the fresh eye splice before lock stitching? If so, is there a suggested value (eg __% of MBS ). If not what’s the rationale?

Badass 🎉

Would be great if you can make a video on how to connect 8 strand to chain for a windlass anchor

What is the t-handle pull tool at 0:30 called? Who makes it and where can I buy it

You turned a splice into algebra. Too complicated

Be nice if you linked to the lock stitch

Could strands from the splice taper be used instead of the twine? It would give a good color match.

This looks like a Dyneema/Amsteel splice. Is the twine polyester or nylon? If so, could you use strands from the taper for this?

I watched a lot of videos on making eye splices, and I found this one to be the best. My first eye splice turned out perfectly.

Super helpful. Thanks for the info.

Thank you for this detailed tutorial. I wanted to point a couple of possible updates to the pdf version. A. Nowhere in the pdf is the importance of stitching twine construction or diameter mentioned. B. Step 4 (in the pdf) recommends tying a square knot, which was slightly confusing.

Excellent ... Very Clear. Thanks

How can I get the tools you are working with and what are they called , is there somewhere I can buy them , could you help me please , Thank you

Great video. Thanks. Made my first eye splice tonight. With a little more practice I think I’ve got it!

Very good easy to follo.👍

95% I have to try this. That is a pretty big percentage.

Would have liked to have seen or known more about the rope.

Is it just me or is the fid required for a 5/8 diameter rope supposed to be 13" not 11 like it says here. Unless I'm going crazy an 11" fid should be used for 1/2" rope....?

thank you!

Is there a chance we get some day explanation on how to splice 24 strand rope?

This video would be much easier to follow without the cut scenes and change in camera angles

Great video. Thanks. I found this vid to be a great companion to the written instructions. My first attempt took a long time, but turned out great. After making several eye splices it goes pretty quick now. Better than paying $$ for the local chandlery to do it. One thing that confused me in the instructions is they kept mentioning “the crossover” but did not define what that is. The crossover is the point where the cover is first fed into the core and later the core backtracks into the cover. Hope that helps. Be advised, if you are working with old stiff rope the splice will be much more difficult. Try unlocking the fibers by first soaking and flexing the rope (at least 6 feet or 2m at the end) and letting it dry. New rope is very easy to work with.

Is that standard wire? Typically on cranes, non-rotational cable is used... But... Still pretty nice...

Are polyester ropes toxic for humans or dogs?

Are there any 'forever chemicals' used in these, or have they been tested to be safe for people, plants, and animals?

I’m so lost, too many camera angles!
