[QUOTE="Farm Fence Solutions, post: 1485185, member: 26621"] Can't help with most of that, but you want to stretch the wire until about 1/2 of the tension curve is pulled out. That will yield 350-400 lbs per line wire. With boundary strainers, it's one hand tight on each one, which is certainly more than 600 kg per strainer. I've never asked the official reason for the low rating, but I'd speculate that the "don't use a cheater pipe" bit has something to do with it. They print 600kg.....fencers read 6000kg. FWIW, I pegged a tension gauge with a single strand chain strainer yesterday.....just to see what'd happen. It was uneventful. Dump a cup of water in your staples and keep the bucket in the back of your truck. They'll oxidize and dull down a little with the bouncing of the truck. We always keep a few buckets in the truck for a break in period. :lol: [url=https://postimg.org/image/prwcbd99x/][img]https://s18.postimg.org/prwcbd99x/IMG_4509.jpg[/img][/url] [/QUOTE]
