Thanks brother. New to the life but trying to learn. This will surely help me tighten up the fence in the pasture. Needs to be done and no one's done it, so ima do it.

[@yamahacody]

I really like this technique you have on how to get the wire tighter. I am definitely going to try this.

[@bipolarbear7325]

Great advice! As a novice, I'm glad I found your channel. 👍

[@bigcountry8726]

Tractor Supply should put you on payroll. I bought the wire after watching your video and have used this technique a few dozen times. It has saved me hours of time and my neighbor is now using this technique. Great video!

[@mick3117]

Thanks mate I will do this when I get back to my farm this weekend!!

[@gillcelt]

Excellent video, thanks from Ireland.

[@luiscortez1771]

I watched a few videos for some fresh ideas. Yours is by far the best no splicing etc. Why make it any harder than it is. My personal philosophy is to not make work for myself. And it needs to look like it never happened. Smooth and clean repairs for looks. You practice the "KISS" method. Just like I do. I have done it by pinching wire with the tip of fencing pliers and twiisting it to tighten wire.

Love it how you tightened the barbed wire with the piece of 12 ga. wire,...thanks for the video,..keep on fencing!

Absolutely brilliant, I never saw that done here in Ireland. I was buying buying expensive grapples. Thanks for the demonstration, cheers 🍻

Hey everyone! I put links in the video description for the tools I used in this video. I would highly recommend having a set in every vehicle and 4wheeler that you use on the farm. Make sure you go check those out.

[@margaretteevans4233]

I had 2 dead trees fall on my fence& 1 tree that fence was mounted on was cut by some vandal. I spent nearly 3 hours today trying to tighten the wires. I started by trying to use twisting tool. At 70, I don't have strength I used to, so I went & got come a long. Fence been there too long! I am going out to try your tip. Got too much to fix & dark coming on. Thank you!

[@belarsneed8667]

How did it work out for you

[@ghostriderwashere]

The reason most wire gets loose is how it’s wrapped around the corners. Most folks wrap twice around corner post with no tension on that part of the wire. When you take the stretcher off all the tension goes to the corner wrap and loosens over time. Best way is when you build new fence pull the wire from the back of a tractor or truck and staple wire to post as you tightly wrap it around corner post. All wire will loosen over time but not as bad if you get those corners really well stretched and stapled.

[@TehDuckStalker]

God bless

[@JadeJenson]

Love it! I have many fences that need tightening. What is the tool you use to wrap the wire besides the fencing pliers?

[@johnscarboroughregenerativ7240]

The link is in the description

[@armymobilityofficer9099]

I have used claw hammers before to tighten the fence. Hook the claw on the fence and twist. It is not pretty and it probably weakens the fence. Your way looks better.

[@heatherfonner]

Can you do an updated dated video to this , its hard to see exactly what your doing with your hands please.

[@johnscarboroughregenerativ7240]

Yes I will and there is a amazon link for the tools I'm using as well. I will try to get that video out as soon as possible. Thanks for the comment

[@RanchoCarrasco]

What is that little metal bar with holes that you used to twist the cable? I'm trying to find it but I don't know the name. Thanks for the video.

[@mykalnoah6324]

3 hole Wire twister.

[@angelajanson4357]

What is that tool with the holes in it called you are using to twist t-post clips?

[@johnscarboroughregenerativ7240]

Angela Janson it is called a DARE wire twisting tool I believe. I got mine at tractor supply for about $3 I think but you can get them anywhere pretty cheap. They are pretty nice.

Can this work with a particularly extra loose fence? Can you just keep turning until it tightens as much as you would like?

[@johnscarboroughregenerativ7240]

You can tighten it A pretty good bit. But I've never tested it to its max.

[@serahlesuma6351]

hi there. would the tightening method work on tightening #8 wires?

[@johnscarboroughregenerativ7240]

The principle is the same but whether or not it would work I don’t know for sure I know that some wires are more brittle than others and will break easier. Sorry I wasn’t much help

If you are using cheap barbed wire or old barbed wire it is more likely to brake. You also made me twisting it too many times
