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?
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. 👍
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.
Great bit of gear! So much better to carry in a buggy or on a quad than strainers! Well done 👍🏼

Yes it can be used on broken wires and also barbed.
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.
Was there enough of a difference from the Texas Fence Fixer to allow you to patent your device?

Can they be used on bar wire
sure can Mikey
