Brilliant tool

I bought this item for my partner who amazingly required a Swedish fid for het Basket weaving. Yes it can be used for other things.
I personally use it for undertaking rope workings that I use in bushcraft. Not only good for seafarers.
Ropes Direct has supplied me with many different ropes for use on my canoe and also for my Tipi. Their service has to be
commended for it's professional attitude to their customers no matter what you use the items you purchase for.

Good value

Bought this when I ordered some 12mm Manila rope to make my own fenders for my boat. The description on the website says it’s good enough for ropes up to 16mm dia? I struggled with 12mm so I wish I had bought the large fid. in my opinion this would be ok for ropes up to 10mm. Apart from that it’s a nice tool and delivery was exceptionally quick.

Well... they sell rope. New rope - not old rope ;). The stuff I've had for yachts and dinghies has been very good.

5mm Grey HMPE 12-strand - 100m reel

First class experience from start to finish! One weekend I had a little project in my mind's eye for my garden with posts, solar lights and ropes, but I know nothing about ropes. I did a bit of research and found the Ropes Direct website clear and helpful, however I baulked a bit about cutting the rope and adding hooks myself (the video showed the use of a blowtorch). I sent an online query and less than 20 minutes after opening for business on the Monday I had a detailed quote, and an offer to cut the rope and fit the hooks for a very reasonable charge. I also received valuable advice about the "drape" I required. Within 24 hours the ropes, hooks and eyes were delivered! Very impressed with the website, quality of product and particularly the customer service from start to finish. I have no hesitation about recommending Ropes Direct.
