[QUOTE="Bez, post: 46919, member: 412"] First time I have seen them. I use a common fence strainer - and simply tighten the fence with a 9/16 wrench. For those of you who do electric - I NEVER use that darned hi tensile wire. It's a pain in the butt - it has a memory and tends to spring back or kink up when there is a little slack. It also is expensive. I use braided aircraft cable - I buy it in 25,000 foot lots and pay about 325 Canuckleheaded bucks for each order. So, that is probably around 240 U.S dollars. It is stronger than hi tensile, carries an excellent electric charge and is so flexible that it tends to be like a rope - no spring back, no kinking, etc - my two teenaged daughters do all the fencing on this place. I think the wire has 6 strands braided into it. Too bad I do not have a digital camera - I'd take some pics for you. We put up 30,000 feet of wire last year and my wife simply walked it off the roll - dragged it behind her - longest pull was somewhere around 1/2 mile. It's pretty easy to handle. Any time the wire looks loose I just send one of the girls out with a wrench to tighten it - takes all of 30 seconds and she's finished. Usually has to be tightened once every year or so.
