I've often thought that there could be a better system than the staples. This is far better than I imagined. The packaging is stellar. Real people who know what they are doing
Makes me dizzy. ✌🏻❤️🇨🇦🫵🏻😎💪🏻🙌🏻😊
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. 🍺🍺👍
Well done Tim. Great to see another great local product that can be so beneficial.
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
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.
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.
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.
Glad to be of help Bruce!
Thanks for the shout out Tim, these clips from Davo are a perfect solution when using Fencestay.
Brilliant just what I've been dreaming about, these clips may just give me my weekends back😎
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. 👍
Seems like a great product Tim. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome product tim. Congratulations Davos for your ingenuity that helps others to make life easier.
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.
I totally agree with Mr Harvey! There is a great need for this item in the U.S. and especially here in Oklahoma.
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!
Brilliant, well done Davo and Nichol, great product,
OMG!!! Where were these when I was growing up. Riding my horse with fencing pliers and a bucket of staples. Wow. Impressive!!
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!
Thanks mate. I really enjoy the work and appreciate the support and great learning I get to do!
Thank you so much for your videos, always full of good know - how information.
Regards.
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 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.
Yessss tim thanks been looking forward to this video mate thanks for the amazing content as always I look forward to it
I bought a box of these. Made short work of a 500m section I was tidying up. Good one Tim, good one Davo.
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!)
You're a deadset champion Tim!
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.
I no longer live in the country but I can see my husband and I would've raved about these. Yay for the inventors!
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.
This was the first video of yours I have watched and truthfully enjoyed it! Liked and subscribed! Now I have the task of watching the rest! Thank you!
Thanks mate. Hopefully you like the range of topics!
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.
Flippin Genius. Start sending them to the U.S. Love it.

Found Davo's clips last year. Just brilliant and for an older fencer, much easier on the wrists than wielding a hammer.
Great video and a great option !! Love it !! Thanks mate...well done as always !!
@@FarmLearningTim Thanks to you Tim...really enjoy your postings if you will pardon the pun !!
Bloody brilliant!
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
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.
You beauty!!! Will buy straight away.
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.
Scott Lamshed & we just collect the staples from the ash after we burnt the wood during winters here in sth gippy!
Fantastic product.👌👌👌👌
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.

Awesome product, and channel. Subscribed.
A hammer never stops in the rain and never runs out of battery .
Have spare battery and the other benefits mean Davo's are way better than staples.
But what is the cost?
If I forgot a hammer and its raining I'm headed back for beer and fencing is a tomorrow's project
clearly, youve never driven lags with a hammer
@@hunterbise considering I haven’t a clue what a lag so I couldn’t agree with you or not .
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.
Very cool product and good video review 👍
Very good
I am watching the right videos when I meet you here!
I've been out of the cattle business for 7 years now I had 100 miles of high tinsel wire it would have been a wonder accessory to have .
Oh its you, Hi!
Great idea, thanks for the review
Brilliant idea!
Nice idea and good products, thanks
I've used weldmesh clips when needed in the past....but this is sooo much better!😉👍
great product. I love watching you doing tthe fencing videod. always looks awesome neat and tidy when finished - as it should do.
Hi I’m almost done fencing I like the product to late for order now thanks for sharing
I been using them, i'll never go back.
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
Bloody excellent
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 !!
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.
We have spiralators in the US. It would take a bigger clip. Look them up.
@@dennisknackstedt18 that would work.
As a fencer in the us this is a really good idea. I can see this used in alot of different applications in the fence industry.
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).
I love this product! I will be trying to get a hold of this to try it here in Kentucky!
Moneypit Homestead , when you figure out how to get em here in the US, let us know somehow. I want get some, too, in NC.
@@fomoco300k I'm working on it because this looks like it will work great!
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.
Product looks great...
The staples fall out because the post is rotten straight up. Those clips and screws are tedious and will pull out of a rotten post too don't kid yourself. Having said that, for metal posts, now you've got a winner. Great invention.
Brilliant.
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.
what an awesome idea for fencing....
Awesome!!
Brilliant idea and incredibly basic which the best ideas often are.
Very cool!
WOW that's a super product
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.
In your words it's brilliant
These clips are genius
As soon as possible I will se this product in Sweden, so clever!
will be getting some of these
Oh the staple Bobs I see. Thanks Tim .
Hi Tim how are you mate I found them on FB after I saw them being used on your post review they are an absolutely marvellous invention. I will be ordering a fair few, I was waiting for your review take care mate great vid as always
@@FarmLearningTim no stress mate not much we are going to be able do at the moment
Wonderful solution. Spiraled tubing is clever also. Maybe too clever. Cut up the insulator in whatever fashion and you risk the cut turning up in the wrong spot at installation. The design as is is simple and effective. Altering the insulator might lead to a very expensive and finicky solution not fit for a small manufacturer. As it is it's a sure thing. If you find you have the wrong number just cut others in two to make up the difference. If you have too many leave them or back the screw out and remove them. If you have to work on an existing run then cut the tubing as needed yourself. Or use thin rubber sheet in a wrapping manner to build up to proper thickness. Or use electrical tape to build up the insulator. Whatever you do keep china out of it.
Awesome
Great idea.
Like all of the best products, you’re left thinking how did no one think of this before! Great looking product and review as always Tim. Any chance of this reaching the UK?

Busy replacing some fencing here. We were put onto them by a friend and think they are great to use.
Awesome!
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
Was just doing some sheep netting and my friend and I were saying that fencing methods really need some efficiency upgrades.
Could they spiral split the rubber so you could retro fit to an existing fence?
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.
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.
Miguel Ángel Simón Fernández, huh?!?
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 .
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.
Thanks
Genius!!
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.
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 .
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).
Spiral cut insulation for electric fencing 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍. Would not hesitate if I needed to wire a fence. Fast, simple & clever.
This is great.
I like it. I've pulled a few 100 meter wire runs. When hammering in staples the aim is off a bit and occasionally strike the wire. Which scores it. Did I just create a weak spot? Will it break at this spot at the worst moment? Should I re-pull new wire?
I don't see these issues with the clips.
Great idea as long as the battery last for the drill.
genius. I wish I had see this before I finished my livestock fence a month ago.
EXCELLENT!
for the electric insulator it is just a matter of spitting the tube down its length so it fits over the wire instead of threading it.
