The vices are great things, widely available. But I wouldn't recommend the insulator part. The pipe can drift out of the post, making the post live.
I prefer to use a vice and a tie off insulator. But I usually give 18+ inches or so of wire between to insulator and the post to allow for extra tensioning in future.
yep,excellent tensioner - there used to be a chap in Scotland who imported them as well i think from mmemory - but i have lost the adrress even if he does still supply them .
We just used to call them the 'mushroom ' ones.
.
But as above post- we never used them to take the hot wire right through the post -surely that would require quite a large hole to be drilled .....
Trying to find some insulators to attach to a pigtail post so got a second wire for sheep, can't have the slide over ones as the top pigtail attached, have got some ancient ceramic ones that bolt to the post, the closest I can find is these:
That image shows them on some sort of ribbed post. Are they going to grip to a smooth steel post ? ( Or anyone got a bucket full of the old ceramic ones ? )
Yeah hacksaw or one of them modern cutty tools or angle grinder anything thats neat and carefull.
get some like we used to use , i think they were hotline ones maybe, (very tough lasting plastic)take a plasma disc for your cordles or 4 inch mains angle grinder then slit carefully thrugh the threaded bit then cut a little bit of a flair at the end so they will press on easier ..
