Teufelberger has developed the SCRUBBA Rope Soap for fiber ropes with the goal of extending service life without compromising strength Usually when washing your rope there is an impact on residual strength, so Teufelberger performed rigorous testing and created a washing gel that greatly reduces the amount of strength lost during washing compared to conventional washing detergents. Useable both in a washing machine and by hand-washing, SCRUBBA helps you clean your rope and keep it strong.

This new fid from Yale is designed to make splicing 12-strand hollow braids like Tenex and AmSteel-Blue a snap. The wire basket on the fid works just like a Chinese finger trap: use your fingers to bunch up the wire basket, then slide the rope end in and pull. The basket closes on the rope, allowing you to easily complete the splice and bury. When done, simply bunch up the wire, and remove the rope. A great time-saver for anyone splicing 12-strand hollow braids up to 5/8” diameter.
