You mentioned that the tool you used requires both hands to wrap t-post clips and that only about 1 in 500 clips looked as neat and as tight as you'd like. With the <a href="http://fenceprotool.com" rel="nofollow">Fence Pro T-Post Clip Tool</a> <b>all</b> of your t-post clips can look that neat and be wrapped that tightly, and the wrapping is not only a one-handed task, but can practically be done with one finger! A great relief for folks with arthritic hands! An added bonus is that <b>both</b> ends of the clips are wrapped tightly, and thus won't spring off the fence. Ours have been both bull tested and tested by fallen trees. The barb wire broke, but the t-post clips were still attached to the t-posts. We LOVE our Fence Pro T-Post Clip Tool!Patti Evanshttp://fenceprotool.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-49456186484142100112010-10-24T17:15:45.944-04:002010-10-24T17:15:45.944-04:00Sharon, aren't you glad "we" all tal...Sharon, aren't you glad "we" all talked her into starting a blog!

They are very basic but really helpful. A few things we had to figure out for ourselves (like the fence clip tool), but they were the resource that helped the most.<br /><br />Katrien, your welcome! Do see link I gave to Mr. H. It's funny, and I suppose most of us are the same, but as I work on a post like this I wonder if anyone will really be interested. Still, it seems like the right thing to do and I'm always grateful to be able to help someone with similar goals. It's very rewarding to get a new fence up!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-80175847556579033912010-10-21T10:32:17.450-04:002010-10-21T10:32:17.450-04:00Thank you thank you!

You're right about the sense of security though.<br /><br />Laura, I only found out about it by googling how to install a fence! Trouble was, I couldn't find instructions on how to use it. It was a lot of clumsy trial and error to figure it out. It is handy though! And probably just a tad quicker than rebar wire.<br /><br />Benita, yes! The right tool makes all the difference. It's amazing how far we've come in the year and a half we've been here. <br /><br />Nina, thanks! We have high hopes of finishing this weekend.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-4960839105150819992010-10-20T17:31:43.284-04:002010-10-20T17:31:43.284-04:00Fencing is one of those jobs that always takes lon...Fencing is one of those jobs that always takes longer than you hope it does.

It worked, and because it was in Nevada, it will tak a long time to rust out, unlike here in Oregon, where it *might* last one season! I'll have to find one of those!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08421589409738817614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-29123475233835901972010-10-20T12:04:17.841-04:002010-10-20T12:04:17.841-04:00Thanks for the excellent pictures accompanying thi...Thanks for the excellent pictures accompanying this post.
