Another top review Tim, your are putting together a nice little reference library of Aussie manufacturers having a good go in this industry, keep up the great work.
I use these on my farm, gained another 10 years life out of a split and aged fence. Will never go back to staples. I hope you persevere with this channel, I think you will eventually build up a large sub base. 🍺🍺👍
Thanks Tim, a "tree changer's saviour" ... been out playing with the old fences around our 5 acres ... Your tips and tricks have saved me a fortune resurrecting my fences for another 20 years 😉😉😉 Many thanks, Bruce.
Very brilliant 👏, I'm installing new 12 foot fence posts to my existing posts on my farm in MN. Over 20 years old & an update is needed. Great tips & there is no electricity involved which helps out. Glad that I watched this b4 I started the project. I subscribed!
Another great video Tim. Liked and saved this one as well. I will definitely be getting some of these when the time comes to instal my fencing. I contacted the couple who produce these clips and very happy to support their business.
@@jmeds_jammin yep even with concrete and they are pressure treated , so much rain constantly getting wet and dry they always fail at ground level just rot through ☹️
Thanks for letting us know about these clips Tim. Davo's is only a short drive from us and we are enjoying the ease of using these clips. Well worth the money and nice people to deal with.
Last year I made my own metal Clips out of the steel strapping/banding used for securing pellets, only needed to punch holes in them using a hole puncher that I got from Harborfreight 👍
This is one of those brilliant ideas that you wish you'd thought of yourself, well done, I will be using these from now on. Cheers and thanks for another awesome review
Those are brilliant, what a good idea. Easy to fit and no tensioning issues. Have to see if they're available in the UK. Thanks for taking the time to post that.
nice work Tim. we really appreciate your effort in putting together great tutorials and reviews. they're super helpful for us and our customers. keep up the good work!
Always flatten the staple. Got an idea this year to use metal strapping bent in half then screwed to the fence post. After I learned to use the cut off wheel, which I was afraid of, it was plain sailing. Now I can see that I can add tubing to the electric post as this was my next problem.
I hope this product has already secured international patents. Great inventions are always simple. And they're alwys obvious AFTER they've been invented. Good luck to the inventors. I see an awful lot of fence posts here in the southern U.S. that need these devices.
Great video, I have just spent 6 months replacing burnt fences on our property here in East Gippsland, we're cutting up the old posts and stays for firewood. The biggest hassle has been removing the ancient staples. They seem to last pretty well from my experience.
Looks good. I stopped using nails, staples and any other pointy thing hit by a hammer years ago. Everything I attach is screwed. At the end of the day it makes me smile.
good stuff. I bought a new farm 16 years ago and made all the fences out of steel. I learned from all my mistakes from when I bought another farm 40 years ago . Ps . I was the only person not to lose all my fences in the bushfires 3 years ago
I've used this way of fencing for years....re the hose pipe. The only issue i have with this great video is the improvement of spiral cutting the pipe. I'm not sure how they would do that because in every instance where I have done it on my fencing, somehow the spiral does work around and eventually touch some part of the fence shorting it out.
dont want to rain on your spiral cut insulator idea, but any air gap in the insulation would allow an arc to pass through, let alone moisture from dew,rain etc. using air as an insulator requires a larger gap. The only thing i could think of is a solid round slug of silicon or soft rubber with a slit down the middle, when squeezed by the clip it may remove enough of the air gap but it would be far from ideal.
Clips could be hot dipped in a type of nylon to insulate them. Maybe the fixing screw could be fitted with a nylon washer to prevent it chafing through the clip. Well thought out invention.
Love it ! Old arthritic hands don’t do hammers well ! Drill drivers aren’t nearly as hard on the hands . Fifty years ago we didn’t have the options / tools available now , lol but fifty years ago I could swing a hammer with the best of em . I’d buy this product in an red hot minute !!
This wire support clip needs to be in Bunnings stores so that we can easily access them as I can see home gardeners using them in multiple ways, a brilliant idea.
Hey Tim. you can metal print a simple plastic injection mold using a Markforged printer for the insulator and do away with machining but I don't think it would cost you much either because it is a very straightforward part.
Looks like a good idea for some apps. I used to use torque drive screws for my electric insulators but I live in northern NY , snow country. I usually take down E - fences for winter but if I don't get to it the snow will weight the wire and snap off the fasteners. If you use galvanized ( or coated ) fasteners you have all these broken fasteners that can get launched some distance an NEVER rot away. Thats my only problem with them. I also use black locust wood posts for most of my fencing and while the screw might go in would probably not come back out. I gotta say I've had an idea for new system that may imploy similar fastening system. Low tech , salvaged components and servicable ( take down for snow).
Tim Thompson, great idea. Don’t know why I didn’t think of him. He knows how to get all the good stuff here in the us. Top notch fence builder, too. Thanks, Tim.
That's a brilliant idea much quicker than staples plus don't hit your fingers in the process plus easy to replace than trying to get the staples out. Wonder if available in the UK thanks for the review
Tim, at 7:00 it sure looked like there is a predrilled pilot hole in that steel post. Did you forget to mention that? This is a great product. I guess they will ship to the US? Like I said before, not much wood fence post being used around here. Can't speak about all of Texas though, just my county.
Good luck to Davos engineering could see those on my fence, absolutely paranoid about loosing metal into the ground, have spent loads of time looking for the dam staples as they fly of into the Croft. Would stop the pigs by the look of them, quick and a simple idea. Rain would kill the box though, but not a problem.
I have seen the pro fence building people add a few extra insulaters more than the post count to a wire just in case the count is wrong or need to replace one some time . Extra is better than not enough .
If you have a heap of pre fab wire to put onto wood posts such as post and rail, an air driven padlode with 40mm staples is the quickest way to go, you won’t pull those staples out. But I can see how these would be really handy for attaching wire to in line gal round posts
Would it be easier if the insulators had a split so you could just press it over the wire once strained, same as convoluted insulation used in vehicles. Or just have insulation on the clip itself.
They do make those. Just got to be careful you get the split to the bottom so the water doesn't collect. They also seem to shock you when they get wet. I used a few but finally just learned to count. I keep them around for patch work but that is about it.
Did you notice the steel oost demo - the hole was already drilled? No wonder it was so quick and easy. How did you get a bog standard self drilling screw to drill into a round post? Cheat, possibly. For all that, a jolly good product
Aw that looks brilliant - love the thought they put into the packaging/tote - only thing I'm wondering if a branch falls on the fence... Looks very neat & I love that this is a small family business - your idea for spiral insulators sounds ideal! Must show my hubby (although he's sick of fencing, but maybe for the next project, next year!)

Great video Tim and a brilliant product. Can’t wait until we can get these in New Zealand. I understand they were meant to be down here for one of our Field Days back in June but COVID buggered that all up. Definitely something I’d use. 👍
The clips are an excellent ingenious invention. Virtually indestructible, easy to install and compared to traditional installation techniques, are very cost effective. Having just refenced my property, replacing wood with steel with the attachment of feral management netting, the overall process was effortless. When assisting a neighbour with extending his electric fence, his choice of insulators on posts was using cushioned 'P' clamps, commonly used to retain airlines, wiring looms, etc within truck chassis without friction damage. Great idea. I took a different tangent and coated a dozen of Davos clips with continuously flexible liquid rubber, allowed to dry than installed on my neighbours electric fence. The insulation properties of rubber did not fail (no earthing to ground via posts) and random inspection hasn't reviled any failures. This may be an idea Davos could further investigate. Overall a fantastic Australian product. 🇭🇲👍👍
I have not read all comments, so may be repeating somebody; however, simply slitting the insul-tubes would work to put them on as needed. Just align the slit downwards on the wire and in the clip, and the screw would hold it in place (especially if the insul-tube is a bit over-sized for the screw to grip onto).
Way faster for large farms and ranches . Also the screws will hold better and make the fence stronger . I would use these on all of my fences. I farm in southern Michigan and we raise between 450 and 600head of cattle each year .
We always left the staples out to rust before hammering in. They held longer with added texture. Now they're almost all metal t posts. Those don't burn down and leave 30 years of staples in a pile.
Looks like a good product. I also thought that a split insulator would be a good addition - not sure it has to be spiral cut, just need to not put the split towards the post.
I have a Freeman 9 gauge fence stapler and it will drive a 2" barbed staple in a split second but the fencing clips are genius for their other applications.
Agreed, fence staplers are cool and fast. Also agreed, there are some times or smaller jobs where a small, cheap alternative is great too. Cheers mate, have an awesome day.
What a wonderful and easy way to replace staples! Now I gotta see if it's in the US. If not, may have to order from the company. BTW - Would it be possible to slit or have the insulating tube pre-slit so that a person can just wrap it around the electric wire. I don't know what material the insulator is made of, though I suspect it is plastic. Of course, I imagine the slit would have to be facing to the ground before attaching it or not. This way you don't have to count the number of insulators you need to thread to match the number of posts. All you would do is slide an insulator over the wire at the post and then attach the clip.
Those Australian Hardwood Posts are hard as nails, you have to use short staples as the long ones just bend. I suppose they work fine in the treated pine batons too.
How many posts would I cover with a kilo of clips and screws,compared to a kilo of staples and what is the cost of a clip and screw, compared to staple.
Great idea, how does a "P" clamp compare, like what they use on aircraft and other equipment. "P" clamps also have a rubber protector on them I would still add a plastic tube on electric fence.
Would you even need a spiral cut insulator with overlap? A simple straight cut should slip on and be held in place pretty well by the clip. Nearly forgot another good straightforward review thanks.
In Argentina the fences are made by posts, rods and wire. The post are planted every 8 to 10m, with rods every about 1,2m (7 to 8 rods between the posts). But we drill holes both in the posts and in the rods and the wires pass through them. Normally there are 6 wires in the height of the fence. We never use staples. Using really hard wood for the posts (here we have the quebracho) and eucaliptus for the rods, a fence should last 40 to 40 years.
For electric fence can you just split the insulator on one side, slip it over the wire at each post as you go and then screw it down so you don't have to thread them all on before hand?
I like the idea. I hate to drive staples into wood posts. Unlike the previous commenter, I don't fence much and this innovation looks like it would work for me.
Insulators should be an inner and outer sleeve, both split lengthwise. Slip the insulator over the wire wherever needed and turn the inner sleeve 180 degrees. Now attach with a clip as normal. A small bevel on each end of the split would facilitate slipping them over the wire. This may require an additional size clip.
Tim, can I suggest another objective test for these v staples, a simple pull out test (instrumented with a load cell) would give a good objective comparison.
I would add to pull them different ways. straight out (like an animal running into the fence) and laterally (like side loading from and animal pushing head through.
thread vs couple small barbs on staples......nah,result be clear cut. Be like using nails on roofing vs threaded nails or tex screws,we all know what holds longer aye 😉
Try holding a camera, drill, clip and wire while talking and filming. Yes I drilled a tiny hole so I had a hand free. You will see other videos on my channel when I had some help such as this one ruclips.net/video/zDoSlBoDkkg/видео.html when I drill with no pilot holes.
Nice product. I agree that stringing insulators could be too fiddly. I've seen covers, not exactly spiral-wound on telephone/ electric power pole guy-wires. Changing the scale of something like that could be 1 possible answer.

In the UK the posts snap off at ground level way before the wire and staples fail.
Why is that?
@@jmeds_jammin softwood posts they tend to rot through at the base in around 15 to 20 years , I’ve never had a staple ever pull out in the UK
@@Sthilboy56 even with concrete? Are they pressure treated?
@@jmeds_jammin yep even with concrete and they are pressure treated , so much rain constantly getting wet and dry they always fail at ground level just rot through ☹️
In the USA we use black locust post or cedar posts. Those will not rot or use treated telephone poles cut to the length you need for corners.

But we drill holes both in the posts and in the rods and the wires pass through them. Normally there are 6 wires in the height of the fence. We never use staples. Using really hard wood for the posts (here we have the quebracho) and eucaliptus for the rods, a fence should last 40 to 40 years.
Much cheaper than an expensive nail gun or 2, and not much slower - looks very good
For electric fence can you just split the insulator on one side, slip it over the wire at each post as you go and then screw it down so you don't have to thread them all on before hand?
Water could potentially cause a problem. I suggested that to the manufacturers and they were not keen
Thank you so much for your videos, always full of good know - how information.
Regards.
I like the idea. I hate to drive staples into wood posts. Unlike the previous commenter, I don't fence much and this innovation looks like it would work for me.
Thanks for the shout out Tim, these clips from Davo are a perfect solution when using Fencestay.
Insulators should be an inner and outer sleeve, both split lengthwise. Slip the insulator over the wire wherever needed and turn the inner sleeve 180 degrees. Now attach with a clip as normal. A small bevel on each end of the split would facilitate slipping them over the wire. This may require an additional size clip.
Bloody excellent
Tim, can I suggest another objective test for these v staples, a simple pull out test (instrumented with a load cell) would give a good objective comparison.
I would add to pull them different ways. straight out (like an animal running into the fence) and laterally (like side loading from and animal pushing head through.
thread vs couple small barbs on staples......nah,result be clear cut.
Be like using nails on roofing vs threaded nails or tex screws,we all know what holds longer aye 😉
Is this product available in North America/Canada
I like the idea and concept of this
Yep they ship. Try their shop here davosfencingclip.com/
6:59 Was the hole already in the post or did you drill a pilot hole?
Try holding a camera, drill, clip and wire while talking and filming. Yes I drilled a tiny hole so I had a hand free. You will see other videos on my channel when I had some help such as this one ruclips.net/video/zDoSlBoDkkg/видео.html when I drill with no pilot holes.
So I will be “that guy”, here in the states we most commonly use metal “T” posts, does Davo’s offer a solution for those?
Check out lockjawz t post clips. I’ve used them a bunch and really like them
My thoughts as well about the t post
@@kgearheart9125 , Ah thank you! I already use them for hot wire and barbed wire, just looking for a better solution for field fencing (4x4).
Is this product available in the United States?
Nice product. I agree that stringing insulators could be too fiddly. I've seen covers, not exactly spiral-wound on telephone/ electric power pole guy-wires. Changing the scale of something like that could be 1 possible answer.
Could they spiral split the rubber so you could retro fit to an existing fence?
