"Lay Down" Fence Clips

"Lay Down" Fence Clips FENCING Tools 29-1-35 Wayne Baker was tired of fixing fence on his 160-acre ranch near Freedom, Wyo. Every winter, the wire on hillside fences would get broken by deep snow drifts sliding downhill. So he came up with "lay down" fence clips that allow wire to be easily laid down during the winter and raised again in the spring at the same tightness. Baker sells four types of clips to fit nearly any post, steel or wood. They're nailed in place on wood posts and crimped or welded onto steel posts. To hold the wire in place on the clip, Baker uses a double-headed nail that sticks up above the clip so you don't have to take off your gloves to lower the fence. Insulators can also be added on electric fence. The clips come in a pack of 100 that cost between $22 and $30 plus S&H. The crimping tool for steel T-posts sells for $31.
