Gripfids  for Ply-Split Braiding

Our Gripfids for ply-split braiding are handmade in Wisconsin based on our original innovative design. 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. E-mail us if you need something special or quantities more than 10. 

Set of Three Gripfids includes a free Gripfid Pouch while the supply of pouches lasts.

Shipping and handling for Gripfids are Free  (USA & Canada only).  Usually ships from stock within 24 hours.
