A staple removal device for removing a staple and wire arrangement from a fence post includes a main body having a first jaw and a second jaw spaced apart from each other. The first jaw and second jaw provide a first and second elongate channel respectively for receiving the wire. Both the first and second elongate channels comprise a closed end in which the wire may be received. A gripping portion is moveably connected to the main body and a lever causes movement of the gripping portion. Beneficially, a first and second block portion is configured at a surface of the main body wherein a side edge of the first and second block portion is substantially in alignment with the closed end of the first and second channel respectively so as to, in use, increase the surface area of the contact region between the staple removal device and the wire.

A tension board (30, 130) for straining net style fencing materials (42) composed of a first plurality of spaced apart substantially horizontal wires and a second plurality of spaced apart substantially vertical wires, is disclosed. The tension board takes the form of an elongate member having a longitudinal axis and a longitudinal extent at least corresponding to the distance between the first and last of the horizontal wires, and a plurality of wire grippers (10) connected to the elongate member at spaced apart locations. Each of the wire grippers (10) is configured to releasably grasp a corresponding one of the horizontal wires. This enables quick set up prior to straining and quick release once strained and tied off.

A fence connector system and/or method can include a post connection element securable to a fence support structure and comprising an outwardly extending receptacle having a bore hole; a fence receiving arm comprising (a) a head retainable in the receptacle and (b) a shaft extending from the head insertable through the receptacle bore hole and comprising a fence engaging slot adapted to receive and engage a fence wire; and a fence securing mechanism configured to secure the fence wire in the fence engaging slot. The fence receiving arm is rotatable in the receptacle and bore hole about an axis, whereby the fence wire is securable to the fence support structure in any circumferential position about the axis.

A fencing gun assembly includes a fencing gun that has a handle, a trigger movably integrated into the handle, a barrel and a grapple attached to the barrel. The grapple has a pair of gripping elements and a fence post can be positioned between the gripping elements. A cartridge is removably attachable to the barrel of the fencing gun which stores a plurality of fencing clips. The fencing gun shoots a single fencing clip outwardly through the barrel when the fencing gun is actuated. The pair of gripping elements bends the single fencing clip around the fence post and the fence wire thereby securing the fence wire to the fence post.

A fencing attachment (30) for a power tool (32) is disclosed. The attachment housing (31) has a mouth (40), and an engagement means to permit the attachment to be powered by the power tool. A gear train drives a rotor (44). The rotor has a longitudinally extending radial slot which reaches its axis of rotation. The rotor is mounted facing a mouth (40). There is at least one winding arm (51) mounted exterior of the housing, being rotatable with the rotor, and carrying a sheave (52) rotatably mounted on the winding arm at a location radially spaced from the axis of rotation. The mouth can envelop a first stationary wire (1) and locate same within the rotor substantially co-incident with the axis of rotation. A second wire (2) can be engaged with the sheave, and rotation of the rotor winds the second wire around the first wire.

A slide saddle (10, 110) for use with a tension board (20, 120) of substantially constant transverse cross-sectional shape for straining mesh style fencing materials is disclosed. The slide saddle comprises a hollow body having an interior shape arranged to slidingly engage the tension board cross-sectional shape, a connector (17, 18) on the body shaped to connect with a wire gripper (25) corresponding to each of the slide saddles (10, 110), and a releasable detent (28) sized to releasably engage with one of a plurality of spaced apart apertures (143) extending along the tension board. A tension board (120) and a method of adjusting the position of the slide saddles on the tension board, are also disclosed.
