How to Repair 4x4 Synthetic Winch Rope including Brummel lock-splice 

What do you want to know about synthetic winch rope?

Thank you, very informative, I will redo my Brummel using your technic

The second half was the best I've seen so far on how to do a loop end repair.

Just had my line cut and thimble stolen. Thanks for helping out with the video. I'm back up and running...albeit minus a thimble :/

Thankyou for the very clear instructions on putting a new eye on the end of a winch line.

Great video. I have snapped a synthetic winch rope and had to do this exact repair. Fortunately, I had the tool !

Awesome. I have a 200, and was tagged by an off-road trainer I know to watch it your CV replacement video. Now, I am a subscriber and working my way through your videos. Please, add more about winch line extensions, what sort of connections are strong, how to shorten a line to make use of less wraps on the drum, and anything else relevant to advanced winching and recovery techniques. GREAT CHANNEL!

Great, I've seen the regular fix done on several channels, but this Brummell thingy is need to me👍 (And I did click "like" twice, that's right isn't it?😊)

I still prefer a thimble on the end of my rope. When I need to join the rope to an extension I use a soft shackle made from the same rope. Because a soft shackle is effectively a double rope, it will have at least 70% more strength than the rope itself, depending mostly on how the stopper knot is tied, so can pretty much be discounted as adding another potential point of failure. If for some reason I wanted a loop without a thimble I'd be using a sleeve instead.

A tip for those who might find themselves in a situation where a repair is needed but no fid at hand; grab yourself a stick and taper it down. Use that the same way sailors used similar fids for who knows how many hundreds of years. That Factor 55 fid would be nice to have but, like everything that company sells, they are incredibly expensive. I might see if I can get hold of a cable puller end with a similar "nest" and make my own. Failing that, maybe I can weave one from stainless steel MIG wire, as I just happen to have a small roll of that kicking around.

well, i didnt even know the FID existed.. not that ive had to do it often, but i do it by hand.. same method, just with rope trimmed and taped to a stick or tent peg etc

Jeez Simon, where do your talents end? Really interesting and not really that difficult - says he who has not yet done it! Well I have my Dyneema, and I have the fourby, I just need to be on a gnarly winching hill and have a relatively bad day. Cheers for another great video mate.

at the 11 min mark as you push through the loop....does it matter if that loop is pushed from either direction i.e. 'upwards' or vice versa?

Interested in how to join in the middle without bulking it to much as little brother snapped his

Honestly, the locking brommel is not much more effort or time than the trail repair, it seems. Why not just take a couple extra minutes to lock up the knot on the trail?

Would you just use a soft shackle to hook up to extension rope?

Show us more!

Possibly 😭🤣 It's tosser gear for those with sponsors or no idea about 4wding

👍 🪢 If you can’t tie a knot, tie a lot

Where do I get that rope needle.
