This two-DVD set from Samson is simply the best splicing instructional video available on the market. It is intended to work together with the written splicing instructions developed by Samson in the Splicing Instruction Manual. Knots can decrease a rope's strength by as much as 50%. Properly performed splices retain as much or more than 90% of new rope strength. The safest way to join two ropes, or to form an eye at the end of the rope with a splice. These videos cover splicing techniques for the most commonly spliced Class I and Class II ropes Samson offers.
