A pet cage, including: a first lateral part, a second lateral part including a horizontal rod, and a connecting structure. The connecting structure includes a plurality of vertical rods. Each vertical rod includes an end including a swivel hook. The swivel hook includes: a front section, a middle section, and a rear section. The first lateral part and the second lateral part are adjacent to each other, and the connecting structure is disposed therebetween to connect the first lateral part and the second lateral part. The plurality of vertical rods is disposed on the first lateral part. The swivel hook is disposed at the end of each vertical rod and adapted to encircle the horizontal rod of the second lateral part. The angle between the rear section and the vertical rod of the first lateral part is between 80 and 100.

A handheld tool for installing wire on a fence, the tool having a frame, a sprocket system that is situated at least partially within the frame and engaged by an actuator, a T-post alignment unit that is configured to position a vertical T-post against the tool, a clip storage magazine that is attached to a top of the frame, a tube assembly that is movably mounted within the frame, and a presenter that is configured to present clips from the magazine. The sprocket system and tube assembly are configured to cause the clip presented by the presenter to be pushed into position against the T-post and a horizontal fence wire, tension the fence wire against the T-post, lock the fence wire into position against the T-post by straddling the T-post with the clip, and wrap two ends of the clip around the fence wire to attach it to the T-post.
