Factor 55 The Flat Splicer: the world’s first splice-on folding winch rope shackle mount thimble.

• Ultra-compact, 1.75 inches thick profile that folds flat against winch fairleads to minimize frontal protrusion during use and while navigating tight approach angles.
• Integrated EPDM rubber pads provide fairlead protection and help dampen rope wear and noise during operation.
• Shackle compatibility: designed to accommodate the pin and bow sections of common 3/4" shackles as well as the pin ends of larger 7/8" shackles.
• Rope routing versatility: the splice exits the middle of the part and can be routed 90 degrees along an inner radius back toward the winch; when stowed, the groove side faces the winch to shield rope from UV light and abrasion.
• Strength and safety: minimum bend radius is exceeded to preserve the full breaking strength of synthetic winch lines; Working Load Limit (WLL) depends on the rope diameter used.
• Usage note: unlike Factor 55 ProLink and Flatlink, The Flat Splicer requires synthetic rope splicing knowledge; recommended splices include locking Brummel Splice or Long Bury Splice. Made in USA; Patent Pending.
