High tensile fence crimp sleeves

[3 Horse Ranch]

For high tensile I would use steel over aluminum.

The high tensile wire I use is so stiff that once it's bent around a post or an insulator the crimp sleeves don't have much strain on them at all and 2 aluminum sleeves is more than sufficient. With splicing in the middle of a run, 3 sleeves and I've had no failures even with a herd of elk challenging the fence.

had hogs run through fence lines and break the wire

Big hog?

I meant that you need the tool made for crimping those

I tried my molars and they didn't get 'em squished enough.

I’ve never had an aluminum crimp fail.
I have had hogs run through fence lines and break the wire but the crimps always hold.

Hogs break high tensile wire? I’ve never seen elk break high tensile.
