Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to create this video. I retired and moved from the city to the country. When I say country, I mean, my neighbors are cows. I had to replace 125' feet of fence and did NOT know how to use the wire stretcher. Now I KNOW! Thanks again.
Thanks so much for the video!! I'm installing non barbed wire on my property next week. I was unsure of how to do it properly. Now I know. Tha k again so much and I look forward to more of your videos!
Thanks for this video! We saw the "Wire fence stretcher" in the book "Farm Anatomy" and my toddler son wanted to see how it worked. This was awesome! Loved your gentle tone as well and focus on safety. Makes this city slicker want to be a homesteader!!!
I was always taught to just twist the two wires together back on to each other as the loop system created a weak point. I don’t really know what system is best. Thanks for the video.
Thank You I found the answer to my question. Also Fence Stay is also great to use. It doesn't allow the spacing between fence poles to have so much play in them. Easy to install. Thank You again for your great video. BTW they suggest to start at the bottom and work your way up. Makes it easier to move about. Just in case anyone was wondering
+Alan Jenniffer Lehman Sorry that I didn't catch your comments sooner. I'm glad you found your answers, thank you for commenting and sharing all of these good extras with everyone.
How much the cost price of this Goldenrod tools for stretching & splice the barbed wire fencing? And how to order this Goldenrod tools set? I do want to purchase one. Please do advice 🙏
Should also be noted that your corner fencing is everything. Fail to have a proper corner fence, and it won't matter what you do. The wire will continue to come loose. Just in case anyone was still having issues with that.
I was surprised to see that when you strain the wire , your strainer post did not have a brace to stop any movement when you tightened the wire. Do you do things differently over there. Thank you and I have enjoyed your videos. Cheers.
Thank you very much. This actually taught me how to use that fence stretcher. The question I have is do you start at the top of the fence line or the bottom of the fence or in middle of the fence. What I have found is as I get one wire done right. It loosen;s the other wires. Would appreciate a reply back on that one. Thank You Very Much
Man .. great video in turms of explanations and presentation.. however there are easier ways and better equipment available to repair and tighten a fence. I know this as a fencer here in New Zealand.. Just look around on utubè.. Appreciate this good work all the same.. Cheers 🍻👍👍
Awesome tool!! I normally use a chain version, but your tool is great!! and also I´m thinking in another use for this tool that probably do a much easier job coupling camlock fittings (in effluent pipes) that is hard to pull and join it together. Where can I find exactly the same tool yours?? Great video!!.
Ronald dos santos Hello. My stretcher is old, and I'm not sure they still make this model. Tractor Supply Store sells one that looks just like it www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/fi-shock-wire-stretcher-1081502?cm_mmc=feed-_-GoogleShopping-_-Product-_-1081502&gclid=CjwKEAiAmJvBBRDKpP724LigwngSJAAYRJXBKXNwN-9Hk0qiCsG7ScRYhj7qPT8h67LFIPiVF1YZUhoCDpHw_wcB A web search will bring up a few different models and they all look pretty good. Best of luck to you!
I really wish I could help you, I have never used a fence stretcher with a chain on it. I will keep my eyes open for one and if I find one I will learn and share.
+Knjpaypal Knj I honestly don't know, I've never worked with chain link. I would imagine that it could work if you had a way to pull it all at once. I may defer to someone who has done this before.
When you join two pieces of wire, you should never create a loop and connect that way. The best way is to weave the ends together. the loop creates a weak spot in the wire and looks bad as well
John 3:16 KJV For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Use of the stretcher is clear enough, but why would you run a strand of barbed wire above a woven wire fence? The woven wire will prevent animals from crossing from one side to the other at ground level, whereupon they may try to jump the fence, whereupon they may get hung up on the barbed wire, whereupon they will die a slow and horrible death. So what is the barbed wire for? Merely to keep humans from climbing over? If it's to keep animals from jumping over, why use barbed wire rather than hog wire or simply more woven wire?
It's a good question. Barbed wire is useful to keep large animals like horses and cattle off the top of the fence, which they can ruin by pushing too much to try to reach something on the other side. But it can be harmful to some animals, deer especially. The sure answer would be taller woven fences, but that costs more.
Ok what did this amature low end fence fixer do wrong that really can get you severely hurt when you tighten a barb wire around a post especially building a new fence and pulling wire much tighter than that little demonstration ? ALWAYS ALWAYS BEFORE YOU START PULLING TIE THE END OF THE WIRE OFF!!!! IN A REAL STRETCH IM TALKING 1/4 PULLS IF YOUR PULLER SLIPS OFF.. THE END OF THAT WIRE WILL GRAB YOU AND WILL NOT BE A GOOD OUTCOME.!!!!
+Randall Highsmith Sound advice for anyone reading through the comments. It is a wise idea to tie off as Randall suggested. Randall, in my defense, doing something the way I was taught even if it isn't the best or safest way out there doesn't automatically make me an "amateur low end fence fixer." The marks on my stretcher can attest to the miles of fence that I've built and mended. While I'm not the most experienced in the world, I'm definitely not an "amateur" or "low end".
I like how you did a "voice over" after the video was completed. It made it much easier to hear. Thanks
Thank you, I love the feedback. I'll be sure to keep my videos audible in the future.
After spending five hours pulling and tugging fencing and top wire today, finally looked up directions on how to do it! Thanks, I needed that!
I know, me too!

though an older video, perfect for my educational needs. Thank you for your efforts!

Thanks for the video - i found one of these in a family members garage and couldn't figure out how it was used.
I'm glad I could help
Finally makes sense! Thanks for the video. Helped a ton
I was always taught to just twist the two wires together back on to each other as the loop system created a weak point. I don’t really know what system is best. Thanks for the video.
Awesome video! I learned a lot and I can't wait to go apply some of these techniques on our fence that could use some fixes.
Good demonstration, very helpful!
Excellent tutorial, and the exact stretcher I have- thank you
Thank You I found the answer to my question. Also Fence Stay is also great to use. It doesn't allow the spacing between fence poles to have so much play in them. Easy to install.

Como le hago para conseguir ésta herramienta y en dónde de que país.
Can you pls teach us how to wrap a wire in a bundle by removing it from the fence post?
Very good video
Thanks
Thanks for your time and vid!
I really enjoyed your vid
Thanks.
Thank you, helped great deal
Well done. Thank you!
+Dominick DeFlorio Thank you for watching and commenting. I'm really glad this video was helpful.
thank you, great video :)
please please can you do one with similar stretcher,but with a chain on it,i have one but cant work out how to use it
I really wish I could help you, I have never used a fence stretcher with a chain on it. I will keep my eyes open for one and if I find one I will learn and share.
Good video!
You refer to it a s a fence stretcher but here in Australia they are refered to as Fence Strainers. Funny the language difference. Cheers.
Como puede comprar uno de esos soy de costa rica
Can i use this too pull chainlink fence too the pole by chance
+Knjpaypal Knj I honestly don't know, I've never worked with chain link. I would imagine that it could work if you had a way to pull it all at once. I may defer to someone who has done this before.
No. The tool featured here is a barb wire stretcher. Use a come along for chain link fence.
If you can get a set then "Donaldson Strainers" are about as good as you can get.
Kerry Burke
You're exactly right perfect tool for the job.. 👍🥇

Good video technique, the voiceover is clear and speak-as-you-work isn't
I always use eye protection.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
nice
I just want to know what that goat said to the other goat
Safety glasses, what?
