The Handiest Fence Stretcher

[@Dave-fp3uh]

Sorry to hear about the bad news. We need really need more people and families like yours. Our country seems to be moving away from the basics. I am sure you have helped and touched so many people through these videos. Prayers from my family to yours

[@BacktotheBasics101]

Thank you, your comments really made my day Dave.

[@Freedom_Aint_Comfort]

Awesome Video! You're a rare breed sir. Usually youtubers avoid politics and religion. Good to hear both in your videos. Love a brother with courage and confidence in the Lord Jesus. Lord Bless.

[@joecontreras5068]

That’s the best stretcher I have ever seen and the clearest demonstration also- I’ll be on the lookout

[@BacktotheBasics101]

Well, thanks for the kind words. I hope you find one. I think you will enjoy it.

Thats a awesome tool to have on my farm

Thank you for all your videos! I have been able to repair almost all of my Grandma's 8 acres of fencing on my own! It's no ranch but it keeps a couple of old horses on the property. Praying for your family.

This is a must have for farm fencing. I build fences for a living and I can see that this tool is a must have. Thank you for the video and God bless you and your family

[@LilMichael67]

Man, i just got into your videos. "If you aint learning. Youre not living." Daily goal is to have learned something new. No matter how miniscule. I tell kids all the time that. I lost one of my best friends My grandpal. and he knew all these little tricks. Ive picked up or forgotten thru our 26 yrs. I was always his help and the past few year's. Ive been needing his. Especially trying my hand on the land myself. Prayers man.

[@BacktotheBasics101]

Sorry that you lost your grandfather, I was very close with my grandfather as well. Sometimes when I think about it, it’s like a stake in my heart with sorrow.

God is faithful, I very much appreciate your prayers.

[@lwthowe]

I wish I had one of those, but I don't. I only have a Goldenrod fence stretcher. I'm going to see if I can get it work with that. Granted, there may not be as much room above the wire, but I'm hoping I can get it to work somehow in the smaller space above the wire by turning the pliers nearly parallel with the fence instead of perpendicular like this. Thank you and Good luck to you and your family.

So, THIS particular tool won't work for me unless I get pieces of pipe to use as cheaters to help me pull the sides of the tool together! ALSO, I subscribed to your channel 3 days ago! Yesterday, I had to subscibem again and today I had to do itm again! WHO do you thnk is doing this?? If it's happening to me, I'm likely not the ony one! So, youmigh want to check into it!

Looks like that old design is much better than the new ones like I have - the wire tends to slip out of the jaws when you are tightening it. Still I really like the concept, and have been thinking of trying to build another set with improved jaws. I think I just saw the answer... God bless, and I send my prayers for your family.

[@BacktotheBasics101]

Let me know how your improvement works. And thank you very much for your prayers.

There is a guy out of Australia called James Higgins that makes a set much closer to the antique pattern shown here, but with modern materials and design improvements. Might want to check it out for some ideas.

Would love to find one like yours. The new knockoffs are junk. that one has nice wide clamps to engage the wire.

[@miciahk]

Good job........ I use several different methods and different tools. Depends mainly on which truck I am in when I find wire to work on. Just strung a full plus 1/4 mile of brand new post and H Braces and corner braces with SIX STRAINS of wire. I used four rolls of 15.5 gauge and two rolls of 12.5 gauge. Started those runs eight inches off the ground and eight inches between each of the first four strains then to 9 inches then 12 inches at the top. This is bran new perimeter fence and the neighbor has dogs and he does not care to pen them up and the cows were here first. Praying for you and your family for Gods will to be done and comfort from the Comforter if needed. If you need anything, let us know. Will be glad to do whatever we can do.

Those are chinese knock off copies and they are made of cast iron. they will break in half at the most inconvenient time. You have to either get the Texas fence stretcher (made of cast steel), an antique one (made of forged steel) or a James Higgins out of Australia (made of plate steel).

You speak the truth, sir. At 69 years old, I have 700 ft of fence to repair. The Democrat Village idiot told me he knew how to tighten fence. I paid him well to drive staples halfway thru the fencepost to "tighten" the barbed wire. Ill do it myself with my 30% lung function. One section at a time. Thanks for the lesson.

I bought one of the Texas ones for about $100 and after about 3 uses it got a lot of slack in one of the joints where the wire passes through. Haven’t used it since.

[@jerrylansbury9558]

One thing to learn.......On using steal fence post driver ........ never use them with handles on them. They are short....and if they pop off the top of the post.....your fingers could be in jeopardy !!!! Use the same pipe size....about 2 inch inside diameter. Weld one end shut. Primary...... make the driver pipe longer !!!! Nothing less then 3 feet. You can always cut it shorter ! That way it wont pop off the post...and theres no need for handles because you have more area of travel to hit with.....creating for force ! With handles.....its a good way to amputate fingers ! I know...... cut those in pieces !

If it's happening to me, it's likely happening to others, too! This is a great idea and I can see it works well! Unfortunately for me, I have a rare disease that eats all the cartilage from ALL my joints so, I don't have the strength to lever the tool as is needed! So, for ME, I doubt it would work without getting some short lengths of pipe to use as cheaters on the ends of the tool! Thanks, again for the videos!
