The Ronstan F25 Splicing Needle with Puller is a specialized tool designed for precise rope splicing tasks involving modern synthetic fibers. This large model, part number NWCWR-55388, is suitable for lines with diameters ranging from 6mm to 8mm (1/4"-5/16"). It addresses challenges encountered with smaller line sizes where traditional fids or needles may be ineffective. The tool features a unique double needle clamp mechanism, facilitating a "pull-through" operation that securely grips the line for easier manipulation. Its robust construction includes a fixed handle with a wire running the full length for enhanced strength and durability. This splicing needle is particularly useful for creating soft shackles and for pulling cover plaits into the core when constructing tapered sheets, offering a practical solution for riggers and sailors working with specific rope constructions.
