Splicing tools - Splicing racing lines - What tools are people using?
I'm just posting on the foiling forum, because I know a lot of the racing guys are making up their own line sets and thought this would be the most appropriate forum.

I have a racing line setup that is starting to look a bit ragged at the connection points, and I want to re-splice them to ensure they don't fail on me. As they are the racing lines, they are pretty thin, so I just wanted to ensure whatever I bought would work with them.

I've done a bit of research and found:

kiteboarding.com/proddetail.asp?prod=fmk_micro_hook
www.awindofchange.com/product/fid.html
d-splicer.com/d-splicer-set-kit/
d-splicer.com/d-splicer-with-fixed-handle-f-series/

I also found a few sailing focused ones - but they wouldn't be suitable because of the size (minimum 2-4mm).

So the questions:
* What do you guys use?
* Do the above look suitable for this type of racing line?

Here is a photo of the lines I want to re-splice (you can see they were already done that way). From left to right:
* Steering line
* Front line
* Sacrificial connector
* Standard line from an Old Naish bar for comparison.
