The 1/4" fid broke the first time I used it. This is cheap, poorly made plastic junk!

As far as ski ropes, boating lines, tow lines, etc. this worked perfectly. At this price there is no need to buy expensive stainless steal fids at $20 or $30. These work perfectly. Just remember to make a fresh cut of the broken line and then melt down the end and tapered it off before using the fid. You may want to use an old glove to melt and taper (between your fingers) the very warm ski line. Using a Bic lighter is a fairly cool flame which is perfect for sealing and tapering vinal ropes.

What can I say? These plastic splicing fids do exactly as they are supposed to! They easily glide the nylon cord or rope strands through themselves to make a spliced connection, end, or eye! They are inexpensive, and with proper care in use and storage, should last a long time!
