Thanks for the video. Do you have another video that shows how you would have preferred to fix the fence if you had other equipment and time?

I do not yet, but I do plan on coming out with some really good videos on my thoughts. On a good repair.

When making you bend to loop wire through wrap it 5 or 6 times to make sure it does come free

Thanks for showing the cardboard the soft galvanized wire came in. That means Tractor Supply must have it inside. I've been looking outside near the other wire and couldn't find it.

Before you buy so called soft wire take an end into you hand and try to bend it..If you have a lot of resistance or stiffness it is not soft wire but cheap hard wire that will haunt you as long as you have it...Soft wire should bend with ease..thanks

That is definitely a good test to do I often do it myself definitely always look on the package and make sure it actually says soft galvanized water as well So far I’ve never had anything that wasn’t soft if it says soft but like you say if it’s soft it should be in very easily and also it should be in the back into place very easily

Apparently nobody knows that you can grab the wire with the parrot beak (tip hole) and holding the pliers 90° of the wire.....twist pliers will then tighten the wire.

lost me at the part where you rolled it to get tension but then unrolled but still kept tension?

@loco4dogg 3 жыл бұрын

As he's rolling the wire tight it's creating a bend, when he unrolls it, in the 12 gauge wire that holds the barbed wire which holds the barbed wire as he rolls it back the other way. Hope that makes sense but if you try it you'll see what I mean.

It's kind of counter intuitive, instinctively you want to wind in counter clockwise direction but if you do you will bind the 12 gauge in the barbed wire loop. Turn clockwise and the pliers act as a windlass (hammer works too). When you get it as tight as you can you hold the pliers and bend back against the loop creating a bend that will hold the tension. Then slowly unroll the pliers with one hand and hold the bend with the other. Once you have wire unrolled, make your termination wraps. It works pretty darn good.
