Eye Splice One End Fixed

The Eye Splice is a quick and easy way to create a loop in single braided rope, it can be completed in a couple of minutes once you know how. The simplest version requires you to know the length of rope you need and for both ends of the rope to be free. This makes it impossible to complete if one end is already fixed. This can be an issue if you are splicing off a spool of rope or if one of your rope end needs to be spliced to a fixed object. There is however an easy variant of the splice which can be completed when one end of the line is fixed, giving you the flexibility to splice both ends of the line, avoiding the use of knots which weaken the breaking strength of your line. The key to eye splice with one end fixed is taking the twist out of the tail before it is hidden in the main line. The splice will work without this step, but will have lower breaking strain due to the twist. So to be sure to maintain the breaking strength of you line don't leave out this critical step when one end of the line is fixed. The standard eye or brummel locking splice when both end sare free is even easy than this version, learn how to do it by clicking the link below. https://youtu.be/q_hT726J0g8 If you liked the demonstration on how to create and eye or brummel locking splice with one end fixed and want to give it a go yourself you can get purchase the tools used in this video by following the links below :- Ronstan Splicing Kit (55376) https://amzn.to/3hnXT5I Ronstan D-SPLICER Kit https://amzn.to/3aP4inW Carbon Steel Shears 6-1/4 inch - Kevlar, Dyneema, Vectran, Spectra https://amzn.to/3goCtUL Thanks for taking the time to watch this demonstration showing you how to create an Eye or Brummel Locking splice with one end of the rope fixed.
