Word choice on joining tying equipment

[JP_Finn]

Currently joining ropes and cords returns:
After tying the two **tying equipment joined** together you now got xx ft **tying equipment joined**
Suggestion is to change to:

After splicing the two **tying equipment joined** together you now got xx ft **tying equipment joined**
additionally:
After braiding the two **tying equipment joined** together you now got xx ft **tying equipment joined**
^^ for ropes

It'd be sort of difficult to tie 2 items together and not lose linear feet.
