There are links below for all the tools and supplies I used in this video.

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!

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.

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

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.

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!
