Dyneema Eye Splice Demonstration

- Here I demonstrate how to make an eye in the end of your synthetic winchline. This can be used to add a safety thimble/hook on your main line, or a thimble to the end of an extension. This splice is performed on a rope that is 3/8" in diameter.

Look up Brummel Splice. The bury isn't what locks the line - it is the double pass of the two ends which has been completely omitted here. The bury just keeps the tag end enclosed. What is shown here is weak and prone to slip. A Brummel splice cannot and will not slip under any circumstance.
Agree. I would use a Brummel splice too.
@@marinoldus +1 no way would I trust a winch rope with only a buried loop its vids like this that get people in a serious mess !!!
+1 agree, this is not a very good way to splice a loop that will be loaded.
I was shocked when I saw that man just went straight into burring the other end
I've been doing a lot of work with Dyneema line. your method seems simple, but it's very stable and excellent.
no, its not! pls look up Brummel Splice...
Only because I like using it, check out the Selma stainless fids. Don't have to taper (though good idea) or tape the rope to get it into the fid
What scissors are you using? You mentioned that they work great but not what there are or where someone might get a pair. Thanks,
Would you suggest doing this when I swapped my hook out for a pro link?
Great vid
Hi , great video.I’m looking at splicing a new thimble on my 10mm dyneema rope so use a smaller clevis hook to suit my boats towing eye.What sort of loads can be safely pulled with this splice?
Why would you taper the line first? I would think you finish the splice first.
I might have been tempted to pass the tail thru the rope a couple of times before buring the tail in the rope even though a Brummel lock can't be done on one end. Lock stitching is not a bad idea as well but in the case of your eye splice, it is critical. Good video. There are allot of scissors out there that will cut UHMD fibers well, look for Kevlar scissors.
Grey is a nice color
St range way of tapering à belive it is as good but it is the first time I see this😉
Are those Samson thimbles not still considered "open"? Even if strong enough, wouldn't continuing the trough through to the front mitigate bend potential? Clearly the only reason they'd manufacture them that way is to save a few bucks, correct?
where can i find those needles with what name can i look for them please
Hi, what is the make/model of the scissors you are using? Thanks.
They are Benser scissors. You may also find them listed as Clauss-Benser or BensClauss.
Ah, thanks. Made by SILKY, a Japanese company, famous for their professional cutlery and saws. Great choice!
Thanks! I had the same question. And thanks for the beautiful and simple video!
What rope is that
This video should be titled "How NOT to do a Dyneema eye splice". There should be a locked brummel, the taper should be more gradual (cut like you did but do it strand-by-strand until you've cut 11 strands) and the bury should be much longer (ideally, 72x rope diameter).
Whats the name of that needle you use to do it? I can’t find it. Thank you.
In this video he uses SAMSON Splicing FIDS.
They are made of soft aluminum and are relatively thick.
Recommendation:
Use SELMA-Splicing FIDS.
They are made of thinner, polished stainless steel.
They work better, promise!
What brand are the scissors?
Olegig buy bonsai scissors from eBay they are cheap and work really well.
I do not have a fid! What can I use instead?
Knitting needs can be used as a cheap Fid.
What is the name for the black thing
Edward Poland pipe thimble.
What does tappering do i am just building moorings
If you dont taper you will create a point of failure where it ends inside. But this Video is not a good tutorial for eyesplices that really need to hold something. This eye will slip out over time if under varying loads
this video should be deleted - the technique demonstrated is not safe.
Why?
@@andresedmach3903 It's super easy to tie a locking brummel. But the knot here is not that! It can simply slip and fail. There are reasons to not tie a locking brummel - like aesthetics - but a tow rope is certainly not one of them.
Most of this is wrong. I suggest that you investigate the way sailors do tapers and splices.
Joke ?
Mate, I just want to scoop out my own eyeballs with a fish hook, good info, mono tone rambling 🤬not such a fan
Dayum take sooooooooooooo long. Boring. Lost me
If you're not interested in doing the job then don't watch a video on how to do it.

Search Premium Ropes.
They have some nice clear videos.
@@PanicAcid thing is, he did a shitty job. This is a great way to have a slipping splice
