Fencing Clips for Wood Posts

[Drew Carlson]

Hey Everyone,

I just came across this Aussie product for attaching wire to wood posts. Thoughts?

Oooh new gadget!  For a wood post it seems like a large barbed staple would probably accomplish the same job at less cost, though if one is driving a lot of them a drill might be easier on the arms than a hammer.  My professional fence-guy (30+ years experience) says that for hotwire on a wood post a screw-on plastic insulator will outlast and be more reliable than "black-tubing" insulation like in the Aussie product photo, and that if a screw-on insulator does fail it will be easier to detect and replace than the black tubing.

I second Amy on this one.  I prefer the plastic pin in insulators.  A quarter inch impact and a couple decking screws is all it takes.
