Stronghold Haywire Klamper

I ordered one.

This guy has probably sold like 10 of these things in the last month and now he's getting pelted with orders from New England. He's gonna start checking the go time clock....

I was thinking the same thing. I was going to email him and let him know that he was going to be getting some orders from this post......

Just so y'all know, you can get 6500' of 14-1/2 gauge bailing wire from Tractor supply for $75.

I'm sure that there's even better deals out there as well. [wink]

From the FAQ on thier website
Can I use bailing wire with the tool?
Even though the tool is called the Haywire Klamper, we do not recommend bailing wire for use with the tool. Bailing wire will work with the tool for simple jobs like

temporary binding of lumber (like firewood) or items to be welded that don't require the permanent hold of galvanized steel.
We do not recommend bailing wire because of the low strength rating and bailing wire has the tendency to rust almost immediately after exposure to the elements.
 
They sell stainless steel wire as well. That and a pair of end nippers do everything this tool does unless I am missing something. Ive watched the video a few times to see what I am missing but as far as I can tell Im not. you still need pliers. I wonder if it leaves a sharp tag end because with end nippers you can "burn" the wire and its really smooth no sharp edge and its a one tool process.

I think this goes a bit beyond using end nippers and/or a bailing tool or rebar tie tool. I think the trick is in the tension your get with it, that would be hard to replicate simply rolling a pliers... I used to use what is the grandfather of this when I worked on a farm. It was a Clamptool, or bailing tool. It worked great - but not like this. Personally, (to each his own), I think having something like this on hand is a good thing...

I can see what you mean. I guess in my case its years of doing what I tried to describe above daily in my trade.

My dad had one like the link I put on page one. Difference seems to be that where this guys tool has the key you twist, the older ones had a threaded piece that turned to pull the tensioning bar up instead of twisting it.
