Aussie-made 'Fence Repair Tool' wire strainer in action
Переглядів 15 тис.5 років тому
Made in Tamworth, Australia, the Fence Repair Tool solves the age old problem of loose and sagging farm fences with a permanent knot that won't come undone and requires only a very short piece of spare wire. A slack fence creates a weak point for stock and ferals to gain access and ultimately makes your property look unkept. Not anymore!
Looks like a great tool. Can it be used on a no climb woven wire fence, or would the gaps be too narrow to get the tool in?
Good kit, makes fixing fences a pleasure rather than a pain, the needle is good idea too.
I love farmers using their brains. Greetings from South Africa.
Was there enough of a difference from the Texas Fence Fixer to allow you to patent your device?
I've got and use both and, although the principal is similar, the way this one works in practice is significantly different; the wire fits in it, it doesn't 'bind' and it doesn't slip. It's just a better product all round, the differences can certainly be copyrighted.
@@ginojaco Its a bit rich that this guy is claiming he has invented something when the Texas Fence Fixer is around so long. He has essentially just copied it and made it with more modern production methods and improved it. It's clearly just a more refined version of that and not a new innovation.
@@MD-uu5nt Having an interest in this sort of thing, and having read that before, I did a bit of research. The earliest tool of this type that could find - and I am open to being advised of earlier ones - was from here in the UK in the late 18th Century. It was smaller and it seems was used for tensioning wires in textile mills, not fences - I have no idea what those wires were for. So I guess that the idea 'travelled' from here to Texas and thence to Oz, improving in utility each time. 👍
Thats awesome
You just copied the Texas fence fixer...
Neat tool...but there's no such thing as happy fencing!
Can they be used on bar wire
sure can Mikey
Which is a better hold/lock. The ratchet or the chain? Great idea this has to be part of the fencing kit now. 👌🏼🇦🇺
Hi Gus, they both lock as well, but the ratchet is heaps easier to use.
Thank you that was a brilliant demo of your product. Which I had never heard of. I assume that you would follow the same formula for a broken wire and it would with barb?
Yes it can be used on broken wires and also barbed.
Copy of the Texas Fence Fixer!
Improvement on the Texas fence fixer would be more appropriate. Texas fence fixer is a good tool (I use mine every time I patch fence) but it could use a wire retainer, a chain swivel, thicker jaws, some kind of coating on the handles (they get hot in the sun) and the ability to spread farther (get a longer bite). The cast steel construction is also not as exact in dimensions. His design uses high strength steel plate and solves most of the problems with the original. I would like to see a half link swivel added but that is about it.
Great bit of gear! So much better to carry in a buggy or on a quad than strainers! Well done 👍🏼
Saw Tim Thompson review these and I had to get one for myself. Just got my set in the mail this week and can't wait to use them tomorrow. They're a quality piece of gear and I know they'll last me for years.
Will it work on straight wire if so sell it to staffix
It certainly will
Very good demostration, watching From Brazil.
Can I get one of those in the US?!
Hi, I can ship to the USA, follow prompts on my website shop and there is a USA shipping option
