The round form of the Rondo-Grip gives very efficient coverage of pole ends. There are no sharp corners or edges, which makes it extremely safe to use. Due to the design, the plates would not be ripped off accidently. Rondo-Grip centres can be marked with characters or logos. The area available is about ∅34mm. Products marked cost no more than blanks. There is a once of marking punch cost. One size Rondo-Grip cover a wide range of pole sizes. A Rondo-Grips with identification saves on labour, because you need not apply an extra identification tag.  Both ends of the pole are marked for better marketing and control.

Note that Rondo-Grip is available in the following sizes (see Coverage for detailed tables relating pole diameter, percentage coverage and anti-split plate size):

Rectangular Anti-Split plates are also wrongly referred to in the trade as “Gang-Nail”.  Gang-Nail is:

(a) a proprietary trade name and should not be used unless referring to products of the owner of the trade name
(b) Gang-Nails are connector plates used to manufacture timber roof trusses. Anti-Split plates and connector plates are superficially close but they are dimensionally different as they fulfill different roles.
