Marlin Spike 182mm with Shackle opener

182 mm Stainless Steel Marlinspike with Shackle Opener

This forged stainless steel marlinspike serves two purposes on board. Its tapered shaft separates strands during splicing, while the handle doubles as a shackle opener. At 182 mm long, it is a compact tool for a boat’s ropework kit or a rigging workshop.

Groove in the shaft for passing strands through

When splicing twisted rope, the marlinspike opens the strands. A groove in its shaft helps guide a strand through the opening. According to the product specification, this splicing tool is also suitable for work on wire rope.
