Make a fencing tool to help out with fencing. This tool is used to twist wire when there isn't enough wire left to make a handle. For more of my videos check out: / @lindz37
I made one and it’s brilliant! My application is for panel fence wine racks and this tool fits where others don’t. My tool has a 90 at the end which helps to make tighter loops. The 90 was by accident while experimenting, it bent on the the fence material but in turned out better.
Oh cool, I have a temporary forge which is temporarily out of action. So its exciting to me to see you flattening this steel cold. I have an anvil which I guess must help do half the job then. Thanks for posting this video. Also I am on a life style block and never learnt how to tie off fencing wire nicely like this before. I can almost look forward to my next fencing project with your help!
Enjoyed your video. Thanks. Knipex owes you for your plug. I just went out and bought a pair after seeing them work on here and your enthusiasm for them
I've made a few, cheap easy... But the ones I've made have worn out too fast. We've got one we bought, no clue as to what brand, but it's held up a lot better!! It's got a lot of wear on it, but still working!!
Though I have not yet made one but this design was on my mind and it was amazing to note that how universe responded by popping up your video at the right time! Call it ‘Synchronicity'!😇🙏
Made a similar tool out of bent corral spike...works just the same...I will build one like yours...only with a larger handle...will try the small box end wrench first...never too old to try a new idea...thanx for the post.
I have made and used these a lot, found using mild steel the holes soon elongate then don't work so well, the best one yet I made out of a open end wrench, cut of the open end off drilled a hole in the shaft, done, I used a cheapo wrench that I payed maybe a dollar for, or pick up one used some where, the higher grade steel seemed to stand up to the use better, in retrospect I probable could have just drilled a hole in the wrench and left the open end on, but the slightly thicker handle giving a deeper hole seems to grip the wire better giving a tighter barrell, where appearance matters.
Right that's why I said make the handle telescoping,that way you can colapes it to fit into small areas and extend it for larger areas/larger squares,I was thinking thread the handle and add a piece that can be screwed in for small areas and screwed out for larger areas or even screwed off for really small spots
Great idea. I made a similar thing with a sharp point on the end opposite the hole to thread string through old cardboard to line the mesh sides of my compost bins. Bit more lethal than yours. :)
about twice as long and a hole in the opposite end for a string loop too prevent dropping it and losing it would seem appropriate. Need a link to those pliers as well!
Countersink the holes just slightly so you don’t strip the gal off the wire. And drill a hole so you can put some colored rope or twine through it so you can find it when you drop it in the long grass
Would you just LOOK at all that slack... it's called TENSION WIRE for a reason. It needs tension. Maybe im just thinking chain link fence but damn...I'd be out of business if my wire looked like that..
haha Yea its not on a fence, its just an example of where i'd use it! It's just a loose bit of wire tied quickly round a post. For sure it would be tight in real fence line.
@@rob-artfarmingnz6138 Also just for the record man, the knot was purely an example of what the tool is for, I see why you say the knot is bad but I wasn’t showing how to tie the termination, obviously if is was a actual wire on a fence yes the knot would be tight against the post and the wraps Ideally need to be tight together too.
