I watched quite a few of videos on this product. Looks like it works geat but there is NO documentation on recommended torque settings for the size of the wire being used.
Hello Donny, Yes using Gripple, Fastlok, and Fastlink with the torque tools, you can get your spliced line to the same tension as your unspliced lines.
That defeats the purpose of the gripple. The entire point is that you can retension it when/if it slips. We have been using these for 20+ years. Very few of them slip.
The torque tool with the large gripples very hard to work with
Can I use Gripples to join electric fence?
