[QUOTE="A6gal, post: 136130, member: 2034"] Can anyone explain how to tighten up a barbed wire fence with just a pair of fence pliers. My dad used to do it but I just can't figure out how he did it. I usually end up breaking the wire instead of getting the twist going to tighten things up. I have used the Fence Tighteners by Jake. The ones that come with that little z-shaped tool. It's easy, even kind of fun, but they are kind of expensive about 12 dollars for a bag of 20. I always seem to be out of them when I need one. I've also seen another kind of fence tightener with two prongs on the end that does the twist to get things tightened up. I've seen them for $50-$60. I'm thinking about investing in one if I can't figure out how get it done with just the fence pliers. I think it'd be cheaper than buying the bagged tighteners I mentioned above. Does anyone have one of these and are they worth the cost? [/QUOTE]
