“This is Doc in WY. With the nice weather we have had this fall we are replacing all of these with the old conventional 9 gauge wire and twister. As much as I would like to be able to recommend these because of their convenience, I cannot. See my previous post. The gripples slip on the cable. While they may work in low tension applications, they were totally inadequate for our high tensile small ruminant fencing. If I could score them as a "0" I would. You have been duly forewarned.”
“These are quick and easy to install but have issues in maintaining their tension. The large gripples have a tendency to slip on the cable, as does the tensioning tool. Both work much better on solid wire, but not so good on cable. As a temporary solution we have placed 2 gripples in series and the system works better. We may eventually have to replace them all with 9 gauge brace wire / time will tell.”
“In the past two years we have put the H-Posts in for our 3 different vineyards. We used galv. wire and twisted it tight on the first vineyard H-posts. We found out real quick that there had to be a better way to do this. The H-Post Quick Brace makes this a whole lot easier and quicker. This saves so much time and we just finished installing them in the third vineyard. Everything was done within an hour or so. Thanks Kencove for your great service and prompt shipping of our orders!

“No need to worry about ratchet tensioners and unraveling two miles of steel cable to make an 8 ft brace, this system is so efficient, quick and works as advertised. It looks alot cleaner to without all the cables hanging everywhere. Thanks Ken Cove”
“The quick brace works like a charm. This was the first time I had ever used one and I don't think I will be using another x brace again on my fences.”
