Make a fencing tool to help out with fencing. This tool is used to twist wire when there isn't enough wire left to make a handle. For more of my videos check out: / @lindz37
Let me know in the comments if you have made one of these before or have seen a better design to achieve the same thing.

I made one and it’s brilliant! My application is for panel fence wine racks and this tool fits where others don’t. My tool has a 90 at the end which helps to make tighter loops. The 90 was by accident while experimenting, it bent on the the fence material but in turned out better.

Oh cool, I have a temporary forge which is temporarily out of action. So its exciting to me to see you flattening this steel cold. I have an anvil which I guess must help do half the job then. Thanks for posting this video. Also I am on a life style block and never learnt how to tie off fencing wire nicely like this before. I can almost look forward to my next fencing project with your help!

I have made and used these a lot, found using mild steel the holes soon elongate then don't work so well, the best one yet I made out of a open end wrench, cut of the open end off drilled a hole in the shaft, done, I used a cheapo wrench that I payed maybe a dollar for, or pick up one used some where, the higher grade steel seemed to stand up to the use better, in retrospect I probable could have just drilled a hole in the wrench and left the open end on, but the slightly thicker handle giving a deeper hole seems to grip the wire better giving a tighter barrell, where appearance matters.

Right that's why I said make the handle telescoping,that way you can colapes it to fit into small areas and extend it for larger areas/larger squares,I was thinking thread the handle and add a piece that can be screwed in for small areas and screwed out for larger areas or even screwed off for really small spots

about twice as long and a hole in the opposite end for a string loop too prevent dropping it and losing it would seem appropriate. Need a link to those pliers as well!

If the handle was longer you would have more leverage,you could make the handle telescoping,to fit between different spans of wire

idahomike100. If you make it longer, it can't be used for 8 strand sheep wire, or anywhere you have strands of wire close together.

Countersink the holes just slightly so you don’t strip the gal off the wire. And drill a hole so you can put some colored rope or twine through it so you can find it when you drop it in the long grass

Why not use my idea . How often have you lost your Sheep Wire Twister ? They cost about £14 each on ebay . Why not make your own . Just get an old stainless steel table knife , cut off the blade and drill 3 holes in it as the picture . Hole should be clearance size holes for the wire . Ive made a few as i loose them occasionally ! Nice and easy on the hands too .
