Gripper Cleat Holds Rope Without Tying

Gripper Cleat Holds Rope Without Tying FARM SHOP Tools 4-6-14 The need to frequently untie and retie a horse or cow, or a boat, is simplified with the Gripper, newstyle cleat that holds rope without tying. Rope from 1/4 in, to 5/8 in. size quickly laces through five V-shaped hooks built into the clamp. The hooks point in alternating directions. The harder the rope is pulled, the tighter the Gripper grips. The device tightly grips about any kind of rope - hemp, manila, nylon, polyurethane or rubberized material. It does not bind up the rope as does a knot when pulled, or when wet, say the marketers. The patented device measures 3 by 41/z by 1 in. It weighs 11 oz. and is made of cast aluminum alloy. Other sizes will eventually be available. The Gripper can be ordered in pairs by mail at $14.95/pair, plus $1.50 for shipping.
