I am about to start building custom gates for my dog kennels. I knew there was a tool to re-twist the chain link after shortening the height. Thank you for the name Knuckle-Twist tool, but I also now know of some other tools to make my life a little easy when installing chain link fences. You hit the nail on the head when you said work smarter not harder. Thanks for the video I enjoyed.
Ive learned my lesson on the Bear Holds. I leave one hand on at all times. Ive had my bell rung, hard by it popping off and hitting me on the side of my head!!
Very informative video, as always. One can only imagine how much more difficult it was in the past for your professional forefathers without some of those tools. I imagine they bring overall consistency and better install to jobs as well. Videos always go to a higher level of class when Nasal Mark hosts; you always cover so much. In just a few minutes, I learned to identify my pulling point and, best of all, thanks to you my nuts nice and snug. It's a great dang day!
I got a Question about the Chain walker, I've never seen one we use come alongs 2 to 1 ratio so my question is how heavy are they and what's the cost. Come alongs are not very heavy and we typically use 8 of them at a time when doing thousands of feet. Sence we can set 1 at 200 ft spacing that way we can pull the bottom wire then tie the wire roughly were we want it and later mesh 1600ish feet in a day after we build the frame of course 10 ft commerical typically with bar arms. Come alongs are cheap and easy to replace. So could you go over that and how much is it's compacity compared to a 2 to 1 come along. That way i can show my boss if they are worth getting. Our come alongs do 5 tons in 2 to 1 weight about 15 pounds i'd say from carrying them every day it feels like near 60 pounds when carrying 4 of them when machines can't be used
Trust me when I say we used to use come-alongs as well, and as soon as we found these we threw them out. Probably the best thing to do would be buy just one and try it out--if you're like me you'll change your mind and get more.
@@SWiFence I prefer Chains come alongs you have to check the wire every day make sure they are on release when putting them in the truck if not they get tighter while driving down the road lol. Where do you get them from that would ship to canada?
Well this is going to sound self-serving but we sell them. bit.ly/strainritestretcher (We're not opposed shipping to Canada--you'll probably have to call the shop to order so we can work out the extra details. 307-578-8040)
Never seen a chain walker, I work for one of the biggest fencing companies in North America. We use come alongs and do thousands of a feet in a few weeks in the roughest toughest grounds. Chains are heavy specially when we need 10-20 in differents spots looks more expensive as well. Trus rod useless to us we have hard ground if we are lucky with good ground u can move with a shovel our terminals are 4-5ft deep and 12" concreted in centered mid rails depending on height single or double height take away by half minus 4 single rule of thumb etc. I was shown this video I saw the banana clips a co worker of mine is 63 made he's made his own 40 years ago i fabricated 30 of the ones you showed and they failed our tests, They twist and tangle buckle when they hit sleeves even fall off, Slide around on the pole in awkward situations trying to put them up on 8ft lol I don't always work on flat grounds. Ours don't fall don't twist don't go flying in to the woods when stretching long distances really fast. Only benefit is they stack better. Ours have weight a better hook with a stabilizer bar they are not small and our style doesn't move when we use our special pole with the right groves cut out on the post to reach heights.
No, of course not. There are hacks and homemade tools and whatnot you can use instead. This is just a look at what we use everyday to keep everything efficient.
Man. I wish I could get away with this shit. Every spec around here is mesh inside the rail, double ties, laced ends, double tension wire twisted between posts.
Very helpful. You shouldn't worry about negative comments. If there are only a few here and there they won't amount to anything because the RU-vid algo can't read - it can only count how many times the same type of comments are written - like ... "thanks" "very informative" "you the best dog" not "your fence is not tensioned". Have a gr8 day.
