The Gripple Contractor Tool is a strong, robust wire tensioning tool designed to withstand everyday wear and tear in demanding vineyard and agricultural environments.
Featuring long, gear-driven handles that provide a 10:1 mechanical advantage, the tool makes tensioning wires significantly easier and more efficient. The all-metal construction is combined with soft, moulded orange over-grip handles for comfortable and controlled use over extended periods.
A quick-release cam allows for easy positioning of the tool on the wire, and one tool works across all Gripple tensioners on wire up to 6mm diameter — making it a versatile single-tool solution for your vineyard trellis system.
Specifications:
• Wire range: up to 6.00mm diameter
• Tool weight: 2.5kg
• Head: All steel construction
• Handles: 400mm flat oval, zinc plated tubular steel
• Grips: Extended soft feel over-moulded (orange)
Tips: Regularly lubricate the cam area for smooth operation. Replacement cam sets are available should the teeth wear.
