Gripple contractor tool

Another use...

Dang handy for bundling up extra posts on a job to haul home, too. ;-)

I will never use a ratchet strap again!

That's clever, probably works better to.

You'd be amazed how many people show up to buy a trailer load of posts and wire, and don't bring any straps. I've boomed down plenty of loads with Gripples and wire. :lol:

I haven't reused a gripple yet, but I'm assuming a gripple is reusable after an impromptu ratchet strap use.

 

[greybeard]

Yes. Reusable. The release tool is stuck into a little fastener on your tensioning tool. Just a piece of plastic with a wire sticking out of it. (you do need to release the tension off the wire first)
Them furriners thought of everything it seems.

Yes as Greybeard mentioned. Or you can just cut the wire on each side and pull it through.
Fwiw. There was a fit throwing looking for my short rachet straps before improvising with the gripples.

I have a unique access to a pasture that I need to rebuild. The east 1/2 of the property is brome grass and the west 1/2 is native pasture. There is no access to the west side without crossing a ditch and the brome. Years ago someone built a lane along the south side of the east 1/2 with it opening west into the pasture. The lane hasn't been maintained and the last owner borrowed portable panels-lots and lots of panels and lined the lane east to the corral when he gathered.
All I am aware of around here is Stay-Tuff fencing and that's what I was going to use. This topic has been really interesting and I'd like to know if Stay-Tuff fencing isn't maybe the best choice and I need to try harder to find something better. It's going to take 3 rolls at 660ft each of high tinsel wire to re-build this lane.

Yes sir. We reuse them every day.

Where are you located? Something better might be closer(or easily shipped) than you think. ;-)

That part of the country generally has decent shipping rates. I'd be glad to quote an order for you, if you'd like.

Farm Fence Solutions....Thank You for the offer. I spoke for 3 rolls of StayTuff from a local Mom & Pop place and I want to keep my word with them. You answered my question about there being something better. I'll know better next time.

No problem. You could do a whole lot worse than Stay Tuff, and I'm sure that you'll get along fine with it.
