The present invention is a multi-functional, T-post puller tool for performing tasks related to outdoor fencing, tree planting, ranching, farming, house fixing, and the like. The multi-functional tool includes some, many, most or all of the following: a wire holder; a bubble level; a T-post pulling guide hole; a pulling hook/chain hole; a wedge; a magnet; a wire hook; and an insulator guide. In a non-limiting, preferred embodiment, the multi-functional tool is a rectangular-shaped plate or card that includes a first end, a second end, a first or front side, a second or rear side, and a pair of edges or sidewalls. The rectangular-shaped plate or card further includes some, many, most or all of the following: a wire holder; a bubble level; a T-post pulling guide hole; a pulling hook/chain hole; a wedge; a magnet; a wire hook; and an insulator guide.

A parallelogram wire gripping apparatus (150, 250) is disclosed. There is a pair of distal arms (151, 152, 251, 252) and a pair of proximal arms (153, 154, 253, 254). The distal ends of the distal arms are pivoted to each other and are shaped to form a wire clamp (165). Each proximal end of the distal arms is pivoted to a corresponding distal end of the proximal arms. Each proximal arm is pivoted together at a midpoint thereof. A spring (130, 230) urges the wire clamp closed. A wire gripping jaws arrangement (165) incorporating fasteners (171, 172, 173) is also disclosed. A wire strainer incorporating two grippers (141, 142), a chain (144) and a winch (143) is also disclosed.

An article bender apparatus that assists in joining two separate malleable article line free ends in a selected helical wrap, the article bender apparatus including a disc that has a slot disposed therethrough that originates from the center at a root extending radially outward, a shoe having a selectable pivotal lock to a face of the disc, wherein the shoe is in an open state when the slot is open and the shoe is in a closed locked state when the shoe partially covers the slot leaving the slot root section open. Also, a means for rotating the disc about the root, operationally the disc is inserted onto a first line free end portion to the root, the shoe is placed in the closed locked state, with the shoe intersecting a second line free end portion, next rotating the disc to helically wrap the second line about the first line.

A parallelogram wire gripping apparatus (150, 250) is disclosed. There is a pair of distal arms (151, 152, 251, 252) and a pair of proximal arms (153, 154, 253, 254). The distal ends of the distal arms are pivoted to each other and are shaped to form a wire clamp (165). Each proximal end of the distal arms is pivoted to a corresponding distal end of the proximal arms. Each proximal arm is pivoted together at a midpoint thereof. A spring (130, 230) urges the wire clamp closed. A wire gripping jaws arrangement (165) incorporating fasteners (171, 172, 173) is also disclosed. A wire strainer incorporating two grippers (141, 142), a chain (144) and a winch (143) is also disclosed.

A wire clip that allows fencing wire to move length wise and still be attached to a T-post so fencing wire can be stretched while being attached to the T-posts. These wire clips are configured to facilitate fixing fences, for example, after a severe snow storm that causes broken and loose fencing wire. The wire clip is configured to prevent the removal thereof off the T-posts in order to stretch fencing wire tight again. The wire clips provide an effective and efficience mechanism for fixing fencing wire. The wire clips are also configured to resist and/or prevent breakage from rust caused by original clips where they wrap around the fencing wire.

An apparatus and method for clipping a fence wire on a T-post.

A wire fence tool and method, the tool being an elongated rod with a loop and hole, end to end) in the center section that is used to rotate strand(s) of wire that placed in the hole to tighten broken wire strands or wire splice strand, and method for repair fence wire with the tool.

A wire strainer including a drive means having a mounting block with a drum mounted for rotation relative thereto, and an actuation means connected to the drum for selectively causing the drum to rotate relative to the mounting block. A line member is operatively connected to the drum in a manner such that rotation of the drum in one direction causes the drum to pull the line member relative to the mounting block. Locking means is operatively connected to the mounting block and adapted to selectively lock the drum against rotation in the opposite direction. Gripping means is operatively connected to the mounting block, wherein the gripping means is adapted to be releasably attached to a wire to be strained. The line member includes securing means for releasably securing the line member to a strainer post or similar anchor.

A tool (1) for loosening or removing a set (2) of barbs (3) from barbed wire (4) is disclosed. The barbed wire has at least one strand (7) of wire and a plurality of spaced apart sets of barbs wound around the wire. The barbs extend in substantially opposite directions from a wire helix (6) wound around the wire. The tool has first and second portions (11) each engageable with the wire and having an opposed levering element (8) that is radially offset from the wire for applying leverage to the helix. Rotation of the portions in a first direction abuts each of the levering elements against a corresponding one of the pair of barbs to unwind or unfurl the helix.

The present disclosure provides a fencing tool having a first and second end separated by a shaft, the second end further comprising an opening drilled therein and extending partially the length of the shaft and a plurality of exterior grooves on its exterior.
