Clamp Keeps Fence Wire Tight FENCING Miscellaneous “It’s a simple way to connect fence wire solidly to steel and wood posts ” says Gary Swain about his new Fiddle Tite fence clamp Swain worked with the Oklahoma State University New Product Development Center’s Inventor’s Assistance Service to come up with the new-style clamp It can be used on cattle and hog panels as well as barbed wire fences and even cable Made of 1/8-in thick steel the orange-colored clamps measure 1 1/2 by 1 in and have a small hole in the middle The clamps are curved slightly inward To install you drive a screw part way into the post insert the wire behind the clamp and then screw the clamp down tightly over the wire “It’s easy to use and works fast It also saves wire by eliminating the need to wrap the wire around a corner post several times ” says Swain “It works especially well on corner posts because once you get the wire pulled tight the clamp will hold it there The bend in the clamp holds the wire tight enough so cattle can’t use their heads to push the wire up and out of the clamp ” Swain sells a package containing 25 clamps and 25 self-tapping screws with a 3/8-in head for $10 plus S&H You can find them on Facebook at www facebook com/gobobpipeandsteel or on the GoBob website Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Gary Swain P O Box 315 Okay Okla ph 918 781-3705 or 918 351-9048; shamelton58@yahoo com; http://gobobpipe com/fiddle-tite html
