The existing splicing manual or “red book”, as many of us called it, is officially retired after a long run and many light-hearted comments made about its cover stating “1983 edition.”  The new manual is the result of a partnership between our marketing/design team and R&D staff to create user-friendly directions for the latest splicing techniques. Besides the durable cover and spiral-bound format, readers will enjoy:

• The full-color Samson rope identification chart, featuring 52 different ropes and their corresponding construction and class designation,
• 158 pages of 30 different splices grouped by 7 types of rope constructions,
• And the rope retirement visual guide and check list.
