They do look handy...

Too bad they didn't spell "spreaders" right on the packaging   :D

anyone try these yet??   Look to be a great product if they will stay snapped on the wire when it twists in the wind or ices up........

looks like a simple solution to building your own open wire.......maybe hot glue where the wire snaps in to the spreader.

Neat.. I will order a set.. My worry is that the AZ heat/sun will kill these things in a year. 

Did you guys watch the video of the Hyper plate caps?  Now thats cool..  They are very pricey at $85.  But that video is showing a huge decrease in temp.  I wonder if these will fit the 4-400s?  I wonder also if just stacking TWO standardard plate caps would be worthwhile. That is if you have room in the amp.

Did you ever order them?  I'm wondering what you thought of them.
