Frontrowfencing Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hi all, I know this has been touched on before but I will bring it up again. I have a deer clamp that has been retired after our most recent job, it is now more bent then I needs to be to work well. So with this in mind I am looking for a new deer clamp. I wondered what everyone is using and the pros and cons. We generally don't pull to the middle of runs on deer fencing, I would pull to the strainer and tie off so I probably only need one clamp for now. I want something strong that won't suffer the same fate as the last one. I think I know which way I am going to buy, but happy to have my mind changed. I know we are on a tornado site so I am sure there will be favourable comments to there stuff, but would like opinions on all options available. Oh and I will maybe soon have a second hand deer clamp for sale on the classifieds, one careful owner good value.???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RED STAG Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Mine are not tornado but made by a local engineer to the same spec give them a lot of use ok abuse including using the boom on a telehandler to pull up considerable length of deer fencing and still in good condition. Having said that he did make them a tad short we can only get a 1.9 net in them this may contribute to the fact that they are still straight.

D A MacDougall Fencing Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Can u not just turn them round and they will straighten up . Think that's why my set got lugs on both sides they been made up by a local guy . Not I i have used them that much mind just one job they might find them selfs on eBay at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontrowfencing Posted August 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Could have possibly turned them round if I had done it sooner, but I feel they have gone past there best, so probably won't come back, plus when steel has been stressed its never as strong again. The last job we did they ended up making it hard to keep the wire straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frontrowfencing Posted August 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Do not use it very often, but got one customer we done quite a bit for and more to do, also a lot of solar farms are going that way so would like O get in on more of the, and we recently used some 192 net for around a chaps garden to keep his dogs and kids in.

Malcolm Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Hi Charlie, as and when you've made up your mind about clamps along with our own brand we currently have some Hayes ones with the wedges. (Just don't tell everyone, because when their gone there gone!!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDRContracting Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 We have the tornado deer clamps, great clamps andy very strong but heavy for it and a bit slow to use with the nuts. We use ONLY the kiwi Hayes 1.2m wedge clamps for everthing else, which for us have been the best I've used. Wedges are quick to use and never damaged the wire like I know some of the cheaper copies can and never bent or cracked the welds (as yet) and we've been using our pair for 7 years now with a pair of the Hayes boundary strainers. Being from NZ and used by them, I believe the kiwis are the pioneers in Ag fencing and found their tools & equipment to be the best. Of course they are more expensive but you get what you pay for. Each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
