[Towertalk] Guy Grip Question

[Mike Wetzel]

Ty,

Unless they are UV rated!  I've got some old (like 10 years old) big ones
that I use to fasten coax to tower legs and they are releasable!  I got them
from Dick Smith electronics (now gone from this area).  I bought some
recently from Newark that are Panduit type and I will see how they last.

Just for your info.
