Your rope's too thick for the small fid and you're forcing it, fraying the strands. The 280mm splicing fid gives you the reach and leverage to open a bight cleanly in heavier lines. Same job – controlled splice entry, no tearing – just sized for bigger diameters. Keep one in your kit for rigging work, canvasing, or that mooring line that needs a proper splice before the next season. Pick yours up and get it done right
