[QUOTE="Dusty Britches, post: 1753261, member: 1900"] I use Patriot and Gallagher. I have a solar Gallagher on the barb wire fence between us and the neighbor who has Angus heifers. The neighbor didn't think it would keep my bull on my side of the fence, but he laughed so hard he fell over when he saw the bull hit that wire and then make deliberate attempts to stay away but still wanted those heifers. The bull has never crossed the fence. I have a really old Parmark - it is in a metal case with 2 knobs on the outside. The only way to know it is on is to listen for the loud "click". But I think it is going bad because a brand new battery lasts less than a week on it. My Patriots have been really good although I did have a 15 year old unit go bad. I actually put one up around my elderly neighbor's yard about 6 and 10 inches high to keep the wild hogs out of her yard. She said the first night she heard a kid screaming and went outside to see nothing. I laughed and said the hogs hit that fence and they've never been back. I cautioned her to be sure not to touch it because it has literally knocked me off my feet. She told her adult sons the same thing but there's always one in the bunch that has to touch it themselves. :D He told me he was sitting in the back yard looking at this tiny little charger thinking, heck, it can't hurt that bad. I started laughing because I knew what happened next. He said he thought he'd go to the far end of the wire, furthest from the charger, it would not be so bad. He quickly realized his errant thinking when he touched it. It threw his arm back with such force he thought he needed medical attention. The next weekend he played golf with a retired police chief in Houston and his arm and elbow still hurt. He recanted the story to the chief, who also laughed hysterically. The chief told him that's exactly what it feels like to be tazed. :LOL::ROFLMAO: [/QUOTE]
