They Made A New Extended Insulator
 ✖  |
LockJawz owners listened to customer requests and figured out how to make a better electric fence extended insulator. The Ext 5.0 is the latest product from the U.S.-made business. FARM SHOW readers may recall their crescent-shaped insulators and fence clips featured in past issues (Vol. 42, No. 1 and Vol. 43, No. 6).
Farmer Wade Simon and his engineering friend, Nik Hiner, designed the products to make fencing easier and more efficient.
Customers like extenders to keep animals away from their fences but haven’t been satisfied with available options.
“Currently, 99 percent of them attach to the T-post attached at one point straight out. That’s a lot of leverage to break off,” Simon says. “So, we wanted multiple points, and attaching them to the fence is better because it gives flexibility and absorption.”
LockJawz extender insulators have two points that can be placed on either side of the fence, at any level on woven or welded wire between 3 1/2 and 8 in. apart to prevent everything from animals digging on the ground to reaching over the top of the fence.
“We’re trying to create unique products that work well for the animal and the installer,” Hiner says. Because the insulators go on the fence instead of posts, they can be installed at any distance the installer chooses.
Made from automotive-grade co-poly with UV inhibitors, they should last about 10 years in most climates without excessive sun.
The insulators are distributed by DARE to many farm stores listed on the LockJawz website. They sell for $16.50 for a 10-pack. But LockJawz sells them directly and offers discounts for bulk orders.
