Lightweight Fence Stretcher Fits In Your Pocket
 ✖  |
Conventional fence stretchers can be awkward and hard to carry, especially in forests or rough terrain. This new fence stretcher weighs only 1 1/2 lbs. and is small enough that you can easily carry it in your pocket, says DSLA Co., Sisseton, S. Dak.
The "Fence Buddy" consists of a ratchet attached to a seatbelt-type nylon strap that has a hand loop in it. It's equipped with a pair of easy-to-use wire grips that can be used on either smooth or barbed wire. To repair a broken wire you fasten a wire grip to each end of the wire and use your fingers to tighten the T-bolts. Then use the loop to pull the slack out of the wire by hand and use the ratchet to tighten the wire so that you can splice it together. The unit can also be used to stretch a wire to a post. You place the loop around the post and fasten one of the wire grips to the wire, then pull the slack out of the wire by pulling on the free end wire grip and ratchet until the wire is tight. Also works great on tough-to-open gates. Sells for $35 plus S&H.
