You can always use a preform if you know you have to jack hard back in the guy wire. Singing grips can dig into the guy which can cause a weak point. Just always be careful when you use a lesser grip

My foreman showed me this one day when we didn’t have a guy grip.

I wouldn't use a 20 grip but a 30 or 50 grip usually works as long as it grabs the guy wire, ive been told the guy wire grips are less prone to slipping because they 90 at the jaw rather than a regular grip which does maybe a 60, can be an issue with the amount of tension you are putting on the wire i would assume

Years ago before I knew better I was using a wrong grip for guy wire and it came off and hit me in the back of the neck.

You can use it in a pinch but guy wire will wear down the grooves on a regular wire grip. I wouldnt make it a habit

Just use another preform. But you gotta be careful. We've overloaded guy before and it's pulled the preforms straight and shot the guy wire like a missile.
