Wire Spinner Buying Guide - Your ideal fencing wire spinner is in this comparison.

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Wire Spinners are a must have tool for anyone doing regular fencing. There are a wide range of spinners on the market for rural farm fencing at an even wider range of price points, so how do you decide? One or two of the uses described in this video might even surprise you. Easy payout and spooling of fence wire is critical. Once you decide on the use you are going to put the spinner to, then the decisions, as you will see, start to get easier. This week I put some of the best spinners at various price points through their paces and hopefully help out a bit with the choices you have.

    Brilliant Tim. Cheers for the tip regarding the barbed wire (everyone's favourite wire to work with!). Recently got the Fenceline Solutions spinner... BEST EVER! Only thing to note is that the arms on the spinner are susceptible to being bent, but that is a very small quirk when considering how good it is!

    I own one and didn't know about the whites contractor spinner being able to roll out barb. A couple of old plough discs with pipe welded on do that well anyhow. I have to say I have found it unusable for pulling out low tensile plain wire as it kinks and slips through to the centre post. High tensile is not much better. If you tie top and bottom halves together it helps but is still awful to use. It now hangs on a wall called 'A shrine to shite design' with a few other poorly designed bits of farm equipment. Back to using the most basic old model because at least it works.

    Hi Tim from Cornwall UK, great video as always full of information,as someone said from the US, don't see them here much for sale in UK... remember that's why I made one from junk mounted on a boat trailer? Inspired by watching you in previous videos and how you all use so much plain wire over there has changed my plans on fencing here on my farm,. Seeing your H pattern strainers aswell has been interesting to try away from our prop design used here for years which is now catching on in the US as seen on Josh stoney ridge farmer KZread vlog channel at a fencing competition, with your mate Langley farmfence solutions, again great video Cheers!

    What they should do with the adjustable spinner and how you can wind it up you should put an attachment to the top so you can attach a drill making it easier to re-coil wire into the spinner with ease if you get what I mean

    Oh jeez we bought the second one you showcased it was horrendous, it flew off the floor as we were pulling the wire and bruised my arm from shoulder to wrist when it became a projectile. ( mind you we tied the wire to our tow bar to unwind a long way but did drive at a snails pace.)The little arms to keep the wire in place didn’t tighten upright so kept falling down. It’s now at the local tip!!

    The language barrier is a little difficult for us in the U.S., but the worst part is I can't tell what brand names you are speaking of. I need a good spinner for high tensile fence. Brand names? Where to buy? It's a tough thing to find out. Internet has been worthless. Like the one you showed with adjusting arms that can also be used for rewinding. What brand is that?Available in the U.S.?
