We recommend an alternative finish when you are using a slippery rope, similar to that which can be

Bulldog grip: a metal fastening used to clamp two wires togetherside by side. It consists of a shaped
part into which a U-shaped bolt fits, with the two wires trapped between. It is tightened by two nuts.
The bulldog grip is not suitable for rope.

Bulldog splice: probably the simplest way of creating an eye splice in a wire rope. The rope is turned
around a thimble and the end secured against the standing part with bulldog grips (figure 17).
