I have used this in the past. Easy to install and they hold good tension for electric rope.
Sheila F from Wisconsin
Good sturdy insulator that is easy to install and holds both rope and wire securely. In addition, we have placed several orders with Premier 1 and have had prompt excellent service each time. They have been wonderful to work with going the extra mile to find and send us a few other items that were listed as out of stock, as we only needed a couple.

Great insulator.
Terrence T from Oklahoma
Well made. Worked very well for my application.

My second order of these was in December because I was pleased with the previous product. As time goes forward, in less than 3 years, the insulators are breaking off the securing screw or the black protective coating (plastic I am assuming) is allowing the current to connect with the securing screw. I would not recommend this for anything than a VERY temporary situation. I am slowly replacing each of them one by one as they break. I will start taking pictures of the insulators as they break to support my one star review. I, one for one, do not have time replacing insulators that have been up for less than 2 years.
