new fencing product-one step teepost clips

[greybeard]

I have installed thousands and thousands of tee post clips over the years, and it is one of my least favorite things to do-----in fact, I hate it.
I saw these being used in N. Texas this week. I do NOT sell these, have no financial interest in them in any way but as I saw stated elsewhere--they look like "a better mousetrap". Just letting ya know they exist.
They ain't cheap. About $0.06 each where I bought a bag of 100 but sure look to be a time saver.
The tool to install them was around $15.
I bought a bag to try at Atwoods in Paris Tx but they sell them at all Atwoods.
I have not tried them yet, but will later today.

Can be ordered thru Amazon it appears.
Reviews are 'mediocre' IMO.

Only 10 reviews and of those 9 were 4 or 5 stars so it doesn't seem so bad. Seems like a great idea. Will be interesting to see how you find them.


I found them much cheaper via a Google search at TrueValue, Sears, Midland Supply and Walmart.

Those do look a lot easier to use. Look forward to your review of them.

Those look amazing I have stopped using clips, have bags of them that come free with the t-posts. I use wire; yes it will eventually rust, but not in my life time.

I love how they think that by showing a woman using the tool they can convince us how easy it must be. They underestimate some women.

My wife helped me (once) putting ties on hi tensile barbed wire--once. She wrapped them so tight she broke the barbed wire about 1/3 way down a 1000' run. I heard and felt it give all the way on the other end where I was working.
The chief complaint I read about the new ties is that the posts have to be installed with the flats almost perfectly parallel to the wire, otherwise the tool is difficult to use. We shall see--as soon as I fabricate my own tool.

I am the official fence stretcher and installer, we use all 2x4 no climb. I have hired a few young men to install it and they do "ok", but nothing compared to what I would do. We have mountains and valleys and trees and shrubs so it is a challenge but I hate a sloppy fence. I have a come-along, a tow strap, 2 ratcheting straps, and two 2x4s that I sandwich my fence in between, (the commercial stretching tools are too heavy). I have learned how to stretch the top semi- independent from the bottom to account for slopes and I stretch them TIGHT. A tight fence looks better, keeps critters out better, and makes it easier to install hot wire.

Hoping I don't have to put any fences up in the near future, but those are pretty cool and I'd love to give them a try!
