I hesitate to call these my latest "creation" since (a) they were a team effort, as always, and (b) these are -- like many of the best tool in our industry -- an evolution of a previous design that was seemingly lost to the ages until we resurrected it.

The concept of fence climber aids like this has been around since the 1980s, and they've been commercialized by several vendors over the years, but for whatever reason you can't find them in the past half decade or more. I didn't like that, so we had our machining shop crank out a batch of them. They weren't cheap, but that's mostly due to how we wanted to ensure that they could hold up to a lot of weight and punishment. I don't want anybody falling down when scaling a barrier.

This video shows the inspiration and development of the idea and what the end result looks like now. What do you think? Let me know!
