I'd like to find these, too, but I suspect that, based on the mfr website, 
they're really not set up for convenient sales at reasonable prices, etc (or 
we'd already be able to find them :)
I need something like this to clamp sections of galvanized ground screen 
together. I found some round ones at Menard's and Tractor Supply, but they 
don't look as good and they're about $2 each.
If I can't find a source, I'm going to use a small galvanized bolt and a pair 
of galvanized washers to clamp my ground screen sections together.
My "wires" are almost exclusively parallel, so I don't need to attach wires 
coming in from 90 degrees, etc.
My ground screens are semi-temporary, so I don't care too much if I have to 
replace them every season or three. When I finalize the locations of a couple 
of towers / verticals I might replace the screens with regular radials. But 
maybe not. :)
