Simple Tools Make Better Splices
When you’re working with 7/64" Amsteel, the right tool makes all the difference. These Latch Hooks are designed to simplify the most frustrating part of splicing—pulling strands cleanly through long buries without snagging or fighting the rope.
At 10.5 inches long, each hook provides plenty of reach to pass through continuous loops, whoopie slings, dog bones, and soft shackles with ease. The latch tip securely captures the Amsteel strand and closes smoothly, helping prevent fiber damage and accidental slips mid-pull.

TEMPERATURE
High and low temperatures can influence rope performance in a variety
of ways. Ambient temperature conditions should be well understood
and within the limits outlined in Table 2. Generally speaking, extremely
cold temperatures commonly will not have a negative impact on rope
performance. However, moisture and subsequent freezing will impact a
rope’s handling and flexibility, but with no known negative long-term impact
on rope life. High temperatures can reduce a rope’s strength and fatigue
resistance. If temperatures exceed the limits shown in Table 2, special care
should be taken to ensure the product is fit-for-purpose.
