FASTVISE

The FASTVISE and FASTSPLICE can fasten H-T wires without a tool. Merely insert the wires into the holes. The wires are gripped by spring-loaded clamps which tighten more securely as the wires are pulled harder, holding the wires at over 80% of the breaking strength of the wire itself.

The FASTSPLICE is double sided for joining two ends of wire on in-line splices whereas the FASTVISE is half of a FASTSPLICE and is used for terminations at an end post. Each wire on a fence requires one FASTVISE.

To use the FASTVISE, drill a 3/8 inch hole through the end post and pull the wire through the hole. Then put the FASTVISE on the wire and tap it lightly into the hole. If final tensioning is to be done with the FASTVISE, it is recommended to pull the wire to the end post with a chain grab, then push the slack through the hole and FASTVISE.

A special tightening tool (TVT) is also available for use with the FASTVISE. It grabs the wire which has been threaded into the FASTVISE and a simple prying action pulls the wire through the FASTVISE to the desired tension.

A TWR wire release tool can be used to remove most 12.5 gauge FASTSPLICE from the fence wire. This allows the FASTSPLICE to be reused if care is taken during both initial installation and later removal.
