“Handy to use but works best if you spray a little lubricant on the entry points where the wire goes into the connectors to loosen them up a bit. Also moving the connector forward disengages the lock when using the key.”
Thank you for your 5-star review, Jeremy. Gripple Keys are a must have if Gripples are being used anywhere on the project. You're tips are spot on. Using the Gripple tool to add a little bit of tension and lessen the bite while the key is inserted makes it a lot easier to use.
“I had put off a long time getting the Gripples.Finally repairing deer damage on my temp garden fence I decided it was time after three nasty jabs from wire ends. Gripples are quick and easy and safer for me.”
“absolutely great for moving the gripple backward before tensioning. I'm going to try using the tensioning tool to take pressure off the ceramic roller, and, using my 3rd and 4th arms, see if I can get a line that is already tight to loosen up. don't bother trying this on already tight line. It bends quite easily.”
