Our gripfids for ply-split braiding are handmade in Wisconsin. They have small smooth tips that split cords easily, and a burr-free plated
surface that glides smoothly through the work piece. The gripper vee-groove is designed to
be effective but light so that the cord is removed without extra motion or
tugging. They have a small knob on the end for comfortable use. Many diameters
and lengths are possible, but three sizes are available from stock.
