Fast Fid Rope Splicing Tool Red Factor 55

The Factor 55 Fast Fid is a 2-piece rope splicing tool machined from 6061 aluminum, red anodized with a bright dip finish for corrosion protection. It's built to repair or splice synthetic winch lines in the field — no tape, no additional hardware, no extra tools required. The wire grip holds the rope end securely while you work, and the tool handles synthetic rope diameters from 3/8" to 5/8".

What makes this worth carrying is the onboard reference data: laser-engraved rope bury measurements and a measuring scale are machined right into the tool, so you're not guessing in the field. The compact 2-piece form factor stows easily, and Factor 55 includes a Cordura carry pouch with a belt loop so it's ready when you need it.

We like that this is Made in the USA and designed around a real problem — a damaged synthetic line on the trail used to mean a long wait or a compromised repair. The Fast Fid brings that down to minutes. If you're running synthetic winch rope, this belongs in your recovery kit.
