Lift Jack Wire Stretcher FENCING Miscellaneous 19-1-10 "I made a wire stretcher out of a hi-lift jack. After using it for a few months, I've found it works like a charm and is light and easy to handle," says Steve Avery, Du Bois, Neb.
"I used an old auto bumper jack and welded a piece of 1 1/2-in. wide, 1/4-in. thick strap iron onto the end of the shaft and onto the lift lever on the jack. I put a 3/16-in. slot into the end of each piece which catches onto barbed wire barbs. I put a bolt in the end of the shaft to keep the jack from slipping off. You can weld on a handle or use the tire wrench as usual to engage the jack.
"This works very well. Next to a pliers, it's the handiest fence tool I've ever seen."
