Pull up with wire strainers until posts move half inch, pull the wires individually to even tension and either crimp or speed knot. If you over tighten the wire will break.

The trick is not to cross the wires on the slip staples which is why DA Mac puts them individually.

They are fidley when u first do them but practice makes perfect.

Used the Gpacks for bracing large H boxes for a vineyard boundary fence last year, used the HT17/194/8 Badger netting buried 12" with rabbit nett also buried. Heavy wire so wanted the bracing to be 'belt and braces' so opted for the Gpacks, I also had some trouble with the individual wires on the wire loop snapping as the cam gripped them.

 

They look smart but I would stick with 3.15mm HT plain next time as we use it for all other bracing woven in an figure of 8 and wrap the tail ends around tight then it takes the pressure off the gripple when you strain wire. Looks just as smart and as strong IMO. Usually the 4' deep strainer moves in the clay around here long before the wire or gripple breaks, but there's always a first time...
