But I have not yet found out WHAT to maintain and where to get it !  :doh: :doh:

Hi John ,micks whatsit tool is not a fid.i have been using a fid for the past 40+ years ?finds are made of wood !and are used on rope!they are always highly polished so they slide between the rope layers  +no damage to the rope and less friction , marlin spikes are used on wire rope !and don't have a Handel on the end !as depending on what type of splice you are doing !you may have to drive the spike through 2or3 strands of wire at one time ,if it's a large diameter or hard wire you may need to drive it between the lays with a hammer ,thus no,Handel on a marlin spike  :ddb:
Regards peter
