The Super Snake
|
 |
|
|
The Super Snake has a
flexible steel cable handle with a hook on the end. It is
specially designed for splicing double braid rope.
 |
Made of stainless
steel. |
|
One size does it all
for small boat owners.
|
|
| The long, flexible handle makes it
possible for the tool to be inserted inside either the inner (core) or
outer (jacket) braid, so that either braid may be drawn through the
other, making possible strong, durable splices, such as the classic
FLEMISH EYE. |
|
|
| This technique uses the principle of
dividing the rope at the throat of the eye before the splice is laid, so
both the inner and outer halves of the rope can encircle the outside
perimeter of the eye from opposite directions, before their loose ends
are tucked. This procedure not only distributes the load equally
to both sides of the eye, it also makes any load on the line increase
the friction between the rope's yarns, which increases the strength with
which they grip each other.
