[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1555601, member: 18945"] I think they both have already stated their thoughts.in the comment section of the video. [i]Farm Fence Solutions LLC 6 months ago (edited) Good video Tim. The first rounds of Gripples, which you are demonstrating, have a well deserved bad reputation. We use and abuse the current versions every day, and don't have the failures even after several years in service. The original version was bad to let moisture in, then freeze and destroy the inner workings. The Gripple Plus.....right around a dollar if you know where to shop ;-).....seems to have solved this issue, as we have temperature swings of up to 130 degrees F, with high moisture, in a year without seeing these issues anymore. I agree that a hand tied knot is always superior, but isn't always an option for DIY fencers or high volume contractors. Tying real fencing knots is become a lost (never found, in most cases) art here in the States, and that is sad. Proper knots are a display of craftsmanship that few understand and appreciate.[/i] [i]call me FENCE 5 months ago Good video Tim. Couple things.. I disagree on the gripples. Properly used they hold just fine. And your paying way two much. Also you should try a good masdan come along instead of that chain strainer. Pulls just as hard and a lot handier to use. I know you guys in East Texas (from your accent)😉do things different but give it a try.][/i] [/QUOTE]
