Durabel-Aluminum alloy Marlin Spike — practical, lightweight tool for rope and paracord work Key benefits - Makes rope splicing, knot work and paracord projects faster and cleaner — the pointed spike separates strands and the flat head helps leverage and tighten knots. - Corrosion-resistant and impact-resistant: aluminum alloy construction with a clear anodized finish resists rust and maintains a high-luster appearance. - Compact and easy to carry: at 6.7" length and just 45 g (0.1 lb), it’s light enough for toolkits, packs, or bracelets kits. What’s included - 1 × 6.7" Marlin Spike (pointed end and flat head) - 1 × 2-in-1 paracord fid (Paracord Fid / Paracord Smoothing Tool) Features and specifications - Material: Durabel-Aluminum alloy with durable clear anodized finish for corrosion and wear resistance. - Size & weight: 6.7" length; 45 g (0.1 lb). - Design: Pointed tip for separating strands, flat head for leverage and tightening. - Pro Edition: longer pointed section compared to standard market models to make splicing rope easier and more precise. - Detachable design: threaded spike accepts compatible paracord fids (inner diameter 3 mm), so you can swap or combine tools for custom setups. - Compatibility: the included 2-in-1 paracord fid doubles as a smoothing tool and pairs with the Marlin Spike; both items also fit inside the Tightening Tool for secure, compact storage. Performance and use - Durable construction withstands regular use without bending, breaking, or corroding. - Longer pointed tip improves access into tight braids and helps produce neater, tighter splices. - Threaded, detachable parts enable DIY customization of paracord tool kits. Practical applications - Paracord projects: quickly thread, splice, and smooth paracord when making bracelets, lanyards, belts, or repair work. - Outdoor and marine use: separate rope strands and open tight knots while camping, sailing, or during rescue and rigging tasks. - Everyday carry and kits: add to a tightening or paracord bracelet kit for on-the-go rope repair and finishing. What makes it stand out - Combination of lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum and a pro-length spike optimized for easier splicing. - Threaded, modular design that works with 3 mm inner-diameter paracord fids and the included 2-in-1 smoothing tool for a versatile, compact toolset. Note: Threaded Marlin Spike matches paracord fids with inner diameters of 3 mm.
