Neat tool. The last time I stretched fence like that I sandwiched it between two 2x4s screwed together, and pulled with a come-along attached to the tractor. It was a cheap solution since I had all those things “laying around”.
When new...... use oil on it....... and use an angle file and file each grove on each holder to it grips the wire. When in use......lightly tap each " ear " to seat the grips / groves into the wire. Done properly it will work fine on any wire !
Cool video - I have little or no need for the tool but liked learning about it and will keep it in mind if I run across the opportunity to use it. Saved the link in Amazon for future. Thanks and great channel!
So happy I found your channel, I have the Kubota B2601 and your tip on how to turn the PTO will save me countless cuss words as I used to keep bumping the PTO to try and get it in position so I could attach my tiller.
Once you've tightened and refastened the fence to the posts and tightened the wire as you've done, you can take the remaining sag out of the fence between posts by using your fencing pliers to put "Z" bends in the horizontal wires of a vertical row, or more than one vertical row, if necessary. It has worked well for me until another tree lands on the fence. 😀
Ed. I have to say that when I first saw that on your hat i thought you had been fly fishing and forgot to take that hook out of your hat. Then I realized it was a microphone
Well that's a very functional tool! Now it'd be even better if I had fencing! 😊 Thanks for sharing, and a nice😊 fix of the fence. Any issues with the donkey this time?

I still have my 2x4’s that are bolted together with carriage bolts. 👍
Fencing repairing or installing new is a Hard Job ! But with the right tools it makes the difference in the end results
Thanks for sharing 👍
The fence pliers holding the staples when you drive it in is something I didn’t know. That I will put in my mind for later. Good info.
I just learned it recently too!

Thanks for being here!
I carry a roll of wire of the same gauge to get more purchase further from the splice.
Good Evening Sir Ed, You Have Made An OUTSTANDING Informative video and Be Well And Drink Plenty of water 🙏😇👌Cheers 🍻
As always, David, you are too kind!
I’m in need of a 2 hook model, to assist, buttoning my trousers!
🤣🤣🤣

Haha! No he was nowhere around today.
Update on wildflower planting?
Where are the skeeters?
Bottom line........you need practice !
IMHO that thing needs 3 hands to operate it - so clumsy and awkward
No......its the operator . Ive used a golden rod for 45 years....handy and easy to use. Learn how to use it first !
