@@theoffical_kingdavid8393 it works good for me tightening knots and the crisscrossed pattern does a good job when I flatten my melted paracord ends. Plus I only paid 4 bucks for it.
I like the ball on the end of those... I find that when I am using a lacing needle to do the job a fid should be doing, it can cause a little bit of pain in the palm or padding of the thumb joint from pressing down on the end of the fid.... I ended up making a small Diamond knot and fastened it to the end of the lacing needle... reminds me of an eraser that you put on the tops of pencils...
"Fid" isn't necessarily incorrect. Specifically, that tool appears to be a "tube fid" or "tubular fid". It looks slightly shorter and with a shallower hollow than what I've used, but it otherwise appears to be the same thing. The term fid is commonly used in splicing and rigging books, and by rope manufacturers to describe that tool. In fact, dimensions used when splicing will often be measured in "fid lengths". They are particularly useful when splicing single or double braid rope, while Swedish fids - and the similar "Point Hudson" fid - are more useful for 3 strand and wire rope. I've actually never heard the term "lacing needle" used to describe that tool prior to this video (the lacing needles I've seen are all colourful plastic things). I'm guessing the difference in terminology is based on use case or perhaps geographic region? Or maybe it's just a difference between nautical parlance and that of landlubbers ;)
Does ANYONE know how much these actually cost? Even after going to the Facebook "group", trolling through the comments, etc, it still seems all deals are solely through PM? And maybe are just entirely unavailable, depending on the crafter's queue? I know Tim was given these for review, but price (or possibility of purchase) is relevant for everyone else. At this point, the video feels sorta like "Tim's favorite place in his house for weaving!"; interesting enough to watch, but sort of irrelevant for everyone but Tim. :)
@@Pirate715 Terrific. Thanks for the general price-point. I definitely don't begrudge anyone their fancy tools. (This one looks awesome.) It just seemed silly to "review" an item without even mentioning the price within an order of magnitude.
@@SamGGreenberg You can just ask me my Dragonspikes and dragonfids come in 3 different designs to choose from rope pattern, nugget pattern and smooth pattern they run $140 ea this includes shipping unless outside the United States then shipping will be additional
Who on earth gives your videos a 👎🏼?????? I don't get that... how is there anything to not like about this video???? I bet that it is some other Paracord tutorial making peeps.... they must be jealous or something... lol
Yeah I was wrong about that. After thinking about it, I think I called it a fid because when I first bought a set they were labeled as fids on the site I bought them from.

Do you or any of the TH-cam channels have a weave design for the infinity symbol
I just use a four inch nail punch. And it even has the crisscrossed pattern on it for flattening melted ends on the paracord.
Me, too!
@@CurrentlyOnLV-426 it does basically all you need the Fid to do, plus a lot cheaper.
@@artzymac5641 yeah, I got my Stanley for $8 lol
I had never thought of using that

Nothing to say other than it's fun to say "Fid".
Fid

On the knotter tool that was coming unscrewed,had same problem ,my cure was braces rubber bands
We use electrical tape for everything on a fishing boat. Wrap all your lines before you cut them to prevent freys and make melted ends cleaner.
Hello from Brazil, those are impressive, here we have other types of fid... thanks for the video 👏🏻
If the only way to purchase these dragonspikes is by having a facebook account, keep 'em.
Great video love your channel
Cool

The swedish fid is better for line splicing, but a tube fid works better for some splicing anyway.

I payed 120 usd for my fid. Depending on what you buy they can go up to 150 I believe, that said. Its been worth every cent

I though a lacing needle was a fid too just cause you called it that in all your videos using it.
Yeah I was wrong about that. After thinking about it, I think I called it a fid because when I first bought a set they were labeled as fids on the site I bought them from.
