Martin,

The ones I have found so far are too expensive for my taste. Heres one for $24.00

Like you, I need only to join two parallel wire with a clamp. I found these which look like they
will do the job.  They call them heavy duty joint clamps.

I'd like to find these, too, but I suspect that, based on the mfr website, 
they're really not set up for convenient sales at reasonable prices, etc (or 
we'd already be able to find them :)
I need something like this to clamp sections of galvanized ground screen 
together. I found some round ones at Menard's and Tractor Supply, but they 
don't look as good and they're about $2 each.
If I can't find a source, I'm going to use a small galvanized bolt and a pair 
of galvanized washers to clamp my ground screen sections together.
My "wires" are almost exclusively parallel, so I don't need to attach wires 
coming in from 90 degrees, etc.
My ground screens are semi-temporary, so I don't care too much if I have to 
replace them every season or three. When I finalize the locations of a couple 
of towers / verticals I might replace the screens with regular radials. But 
maybe not. :)

The clamps that GM3SEK mentions look good for connecting fence wire
together, but I have not been able to find a US source so far. Here they
are: http://www.rappa.co.uk/products/151-four-way-line-clamp-25-pack.

There seem to be some other varieties of these clamps, but
individually the
are expensive. Any USA sources or other suggestions?
