    Chain grab boundary strainers vs come alongs

    All comealongs I know of are rated on a double line pull . So your 12’ of cable just became 6’ .

    Chain grab boundary strainers vs come alongs

    So what you really want to hear is I told you so. Ok so you did . They work good . Nice to have enough pull to not have to re hitch like I was having to do with the comealongs . Quick learning curve after getting poped in the arm . Better than the mouth. Make dang sure both dogs are latched...

    Round bales stored outside

    You will get less rot on the bottom if you can get them up off the ground. I use #3 rock , works pretty well.

    Chain grab boundary strainers vs come alongs

    Boundary strainers are working for you and you have done far more fencing than I have so I’m not disagreeing that they work better. However 2 1 ton come alongs are maxed at 4000 pounds. Strainrite states do Not exceed 600 kg load (1323 pounds) on their boundary strainers. So a pair gets you 2646...

    Help I’m to stupid for gripples

    Like I said totally new system for me hopefully things go smoother next go round. Unroller hung 40’ out goofing up a couple of knots . I didn’t allow myself enough room on the gut strain so had to Gripple off and reset a stretcher bar. Trying to figure how tight to strain without breaking...

    Help I’m to stupid for gripples

    Ran my first line of fixed knot yesterday. First time doing a gut strain, and first time using gripples . Small learning curve , so next one should go easier. Anyhow I’m hoping I didn’t put my Gripple T clips on upside down. Does it matter which way they go ? I ran the dead end under the line...

    Good fencing gloves

    Wire grabs for high tensile

    Now the physics are coming in to play . Not my strongest subject :( So if you want to put 450# of tension on a single wire your strainer will have to exert 450 #’s of pull. If you want to put 450#’s of tension on an 84212 woven wire will it require 3600 #’s of pull from the strainer ? Or will...
