I want to ask about gripples. I am not sure whether there are different brands. But this is the kind I have used:  They work well for me on woven wire. Not so well on barbwire. If I use the medium size, when I put strain on the wire with the tensioner tool, the gripples start slipping by shearing on the gripping object that is spring loaded inside the gripples. It just don't work. I have gone back to the wire stretcher. |

That's because you are supposed to use the barbwire size on barbwire. Not the medium Einstein

I will say I've seen a dozen are so failers. Including every single tclip failing on a 13 linewire net. Seems to be related to cold wet weather. I think moisture gets inside and freezes. The dozen are so failed are out of conservative 10,000 $ worth of gripples.
I'm sure Ravens is greater.
Also you shouldn't be stretching wire with them. Just like you shouldn't be stretching wire with a goldenrod.

For the first time in a long time, I'm seeing a lot of bottom wire failures..feral hogs I presume. Gripples are a lifesaver for fixing that.
Tried crimp ferrules for awhile. After a year or so, the wire rusts under the crimp and the crimp repair separates.
