Decablator for professional electricians!
I have been using these
pliers
in my vineyard for over 5 years with the
C85 Staples
. They DO GIRDLE long term tie downs and do not rust away. I still have the first
original staples
on our trellis. Our vineyard supply shop will not carry the product because of that factor.
However, we remove our canes every year so for us, girdling is a minimal problem not rusting away will eventually be a problem in the trellising due to weight. But it is a great time saving tool for pin up in the vineyard and for now, they're what I perceive as the best current option.
Staples are expensive due to the weight and shipping of them. There are very few suppliers. So I try to order in bulk for discounts.
- For attaching and fixing vines. Hog ring type pliers instantly secure vine to trellis wire as quick and easy as you can squeeze the handle.
- Lightweight wire opens as vines grow.
- Used with C75 and C85 staples the LIG 175 provides a high quality of stapling on branches diameter 6 to 20 mm.
- Used with C50 staples the LIG 150 provides a high quality of stapling on branches diameter 4 to 14 mm (recommended for grapes).
- Staples will start to decompose in 1 season. Aluminum staples available if you want them to last several seasons.
