Tricks and Tools to Tie and Crimp Mesh Fencing Mid Run (Gut Strain)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This week I spend time with Ted Inquanti and Brad Rammage trying out some new tricks to tie and crimp fabricated mesh on fences. These very experienced and respected Victorian contractors show me some tips to ensure the strongest of fence joins. Although one of the strongest solutions for straining and joining mesh, crimps can be fiddly and this causes some to turn to weaker joining options. Ted and Brad think they have this problem solved. They put the new Milwakee crimping tool, fenceline end clips and the James Higgins Fence Repair Tool through their paces while straining Equine mesh, which is the most fiddly of mesh products to achive a strong, uniform result.

The “Jimmy Higgins”! Love it. I have mine on order and can’t wait to get hold of it. Another great segment Tim. Thanks.
In the states we have a version of the Higgins called Texas Fence Fixer. I never thought to use mine this way, thanks
Good onya TIm! Another fantastic fencing vid!
Great video.
Brilliant concept! Had never thought of using the tool for that 👍
Good video. Have been using the Higgins tool for joining mesh here too, but we don't crimp. Instead we use the overlapped lengths to twist / twitch around eachother using a version of his 'needle' that is short enough to fit between the net gaps.
Thanks Tim, fantastic fencing video, I just wish the gear was around when I did my hobby farm, it would made the job and outcome way better. Thanks again for another brilliant video. Cheers

Great vid Tim - thankyou. Ever since seeing crimps on your channel and giving them a try I've been a huge fan - they're really, really useful...and loving that crimper too! The end clips? Gonna' get myself a ute load of 'em...how good are they!??

That's a great video Tim. I also like the tool belts those guys were using. I might look into some. Have you done any reviews on tool belts yet?

Those end clips would be useful for the bottom wire.

Bloody Awesome, I've got an exclusion fence to erect and that's the gear ! Do you or any of your viewers know how to tie off and strain a fence with an apron?

Did they do anything special with the ends of the wire on those end clips around the posts ? I’m guessing the rain drove you away from showing finished product 👍👍👍

They clipped off the ends, I'm thinking that a twitch would work too.
Good video, tim If interested in electric fencing, pls feel free to contact Lydite. Thanks
It seems to me that if the fence is shorter than the roll of horse mesh that the boys are cutting it just so that they can strain and splice it in the middle? Better to strain at the ends and crimp. On longer runs that require splicing multiple rolls of mesh, splice loose first. Electric crimper would be nice, but hard to justify the cost if you're not a contractor.

What is Milwaukee's tool number for the press? It sounds like a great idea!

Is the tool supposed to be on that site? I was talking about the Milwakee crimping tool, but I didn't see anything about the tool there.

Seems a bit labour intensive using the Higgins as it seems to require two people. Gripples would do the same job (tensioning and gripping) but can be done easily by one person. Only need to one tool as well (gripple contractor tool).

Only one person needed (two people present on the day so why not help out) and they’ll last longer than a couple of years…… and they won’t cost 4 bucks each
