WILDAIRMarlin Spike with 6 Lacing Needles/Fids for Paracord or Leather Work Paracord FID Set Paracord Lacing Stitching Needles and Smoothing Tool

Perfect for paracord projects. Great quality for good price

Great piece of gear. The marlin spike is made of a sturdy aluminum. The ends seems to screw on without problems. It is light weight, but still sturdy enough to pull on ropes and strings when lashing. The tip on the marlin spike makes it easy to remove knots in rope, without worrying about breaking strands.The fids are well made and paracord easily threads into them. The set comes 3 fids; a flat and needle shaped one for 550 paracord and a smaller one for micro paracord. They are study enough to push through canvas without bending. They also include a sail needle.The paracord smoother worked perfectly for smoothing off the cut ends of paracord and melting the tie off end of bracelets. The pointed part of the smoothing tool works great for straightening tangled cord when making bracelets.

Used this for my Paracord projects, the spike is awesome and easy to work with and truly makes working with tight areas a breeze. The fids work great as well an are very durable. My only complaint is that even though I cut my paracord at an angle it was still hard to thread onto the fids. It took several attempts to get the right cut to thread. This isn’t the case with my other fids I have. Not sure if the threads are messed up or what. But like I said I have other fids that work, and the main reason I bought this was for the Marlin spike.

I was not expecting much from this purchase, but I have found myself using the various fids and the needle quite a bit in the last several weeks. My kids tore a hole in the safety net around their trampoline so I used the needle and an inner strand of paracord to sew it up. These work great. I have also enjoyed no longer burning my fingers with molten nylon just to finish an end on a cord. Now I use the tip of the spike and my ends are much more uniform. Also using the marlin spike and a clove hitch to pull cordage very tight has been very useful in lashings.

Wonderful tool for us beginning weavers. I've used it many times... No problems.

This is a high quality art that I am using on 7/64 amsteel. I still need a wire for long buries but the rest of the tools work well.

This is very useful for paracord work. It is light weight and the included FIDs work well. My only complaints would be the paint wears off pretty quickly on the tip and the threads are really squeeky, though that was fixed with a bit of white lightening grease.

I use the main tool frequently when tying complicated decorative knots. It's also very helpful when trying to untie a stubborn knot.The pointed fids, however, have stubby points; meaning they taper to the point at a very steep angle. This makes them frustrating to use. I ended up buying a "normal" fid that tapers to the point at a long, shallow, angle.The snippers/scissors are useless for cutting paracord. However, they're very good for snipping thread when I'm sewing. I keep them in my sewing kit now.

Product delivery was fast as expected. Tools are sturdy and will serve their purpose as planned.I do recommend this product.

Marlin Spike toolset is a must for every paradors weaver. Build quality is superb. Highly recommended.

Great set for paracord projects but either I’m missing a piece or the end of the spike was not done properly as I have nothing to screw the other ends too. Otherwise good set.

I would buy this again. The quality is great and each tool is useful.

Great set of tools.The marlin spike is made of a thick aluminum. The ends screw on without problems. Sturdy enough to pull on cords and small rope strands while still being quite light. The tip on the marlin spike makes it easy to remove knots in rope, without worrying about breaking strands. The 3 fids and sail needle fit neatly inside the marlin spike.
