Gripple Contractor Tool (Metal) - Torq Wire Tensioning Tool for Cable Wire Fencing and Trellis Tightening

I needed a simple way to apply tension to a large orchard trellis system. A friend recommended Gripple products. As we're constantly growing, I bypassed the smaller tool, and went straight for "Contractor Grade." I'm so glad I did, as this tool is invaluable, both in reliability, and quality. Our newest trellis is up and working perfectly. Liked the simplicity so much, that I ran a high tension fence, as well. Can't say enough good things about Gripple. Work like a charm. Fast, simple, and heavy duty.

WE are fencing in 80 acres and this tool has made our life so much easier. It's easy to use and gets the job done without a whole lot of muscle power.

The tool is metal with soft grips . You can do your own calculations on the mechanical advantage. The long dimension if from the end of the handle, so effectively your mechanical advantage is less. Also, seems rather expensive for what you get to be honest.

This is now my go to for repairing barbed wire fences

Easy to use.
