   Lead Rope Clamps, in “Nickel” or “Bronze”

These rope clamps are an item you’ll want to keep in your emergency parts kit. Many times when a tied horse pulls back, the rope doesn’t break—but the rope clamp opens and it and the halter snap gets flung off somewhere. Always keep one or two rope clamps in your trailer. With this item, a halter lead rope can  easily be repaired on the spot with just a hammer or a pliers. Works best on  1/2″ diameter rope, or possibly up to a 5/8″ thick rope that can easily be compressed into a 3/4″ space, like a standard halter rope or lead. Simply place a clamp, flat side down on a sturdy surface. Place the rope pieces side by side in the center. Then bend the prongs over each rope side each until the rope is fastened tightly.

The nickel/zinc plated clamp is a more industrial-looking clamp. The bronze clamp is fancier & smooth  looking. Both bend about the same & hold the same strength. The only other way to fashion a lead rope end into a circle is to braid it. Using a clamp is much easier & faster, and they hold well.

Choose bright nickel plated (shiny chrome look) for rust resistance, OR bronze plated (an alloy of copper & tin), also rust resistant.
