[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 1019112, member: 6543"] I have taken to using the ratchet fence strainers to tighten Barb wire....works very well and you can always come back and retighten.... my neighbor uses the stretcher and crimp clamps and from my observation they are not worth crap....they fail and sag and or break at the crimper. I would hand splice before using those. I grew up with the old fashioned wodden handle fence stretcher and still have one and always take it on a known fence repair project. but I keep a couple of ratchets in my fence tool bucket. use to carry them for the high tensil and used one in an emergency once on Barb and it worked so well that it is my go to fix now.
