Just wondering what others use to stretch barbed wire with when installing or repairing.
I watched videos with a "walking chain stretcher" and they look neat. A number of people like the Golden rod series.
I use a "bulldog" pipe stretcher come for short to medium runs and a 2 ton cable come along for long stretches. Also have a little short pipe stretcher from Kencove I carry some. In a pinch, I have used the fence t. I really like the way the Bulldog grips all the way around the wire and can't jump off. Usually have to knock the ring loose a little after you finish the stretch. i even bought a set of those clamps for the come along.
