No, guy grips can not be re-used. They have a resin on them which sets after
the grips have been installed. In addition, the metal itself sets itself
around the guy wire, and will not form a good grip if it's released and
replaced on a guy wire. This is a safety issue, so do NOT re-use guy grips.

> Can anyone tell me if guy grips can be reused? I purchased a tower with
guys terminated with guy grips, but the guys will be too long in the new
installation. Can I remove the guy grips, cut the cable and reterminate with
the same grips? If so, what's the best way to remove the grips?
