Gripple Tensioner Tool - Contractor (Metal)

Gribble speed brace with contractor tensioning tool

I love Gripple items. They are great time savers. The Gripple Contractor tension tool is a great tool to speed up tying braces. I tied 10 braces in less than an hour. Once drawback is the ridges on the cam bite into the cable. The ridges are there to grab the cable, but they are sharp and cut the cable fibers on the last tensioning. I assume this will work better on smooth wire but I haven't tried this yet.
