ROPE END PROTECTORS is a useful and very simple solution to the problem of fraying ends of rope delivered in an attractive pack containing:

• 14 pieces of white bands of UV-stable plastic of three different sizes for all ropes with diameters ranging from 5 to 19 mm
• Simple instructions

The bands are simply placed over the end of ropes and heat shrunk to fit by a naked flame. The resulting plastic whippings offer robust, strong and neat seals to the end of ropes. A solution that is far better than winding an end with insulating tape or merely burning it with a cigarette lighter and far quicker than whipping the end in the traditional way with a needle ant thread.

The bands are also suitable for covering an eye-splice, for example, or to act as position-markers.
