Electric Fence Roller Powered By Cordless Drill
Rolling up electric fence wire is an easy job for John Stover, Harrisonburg, Va., who built a wire roller that’s powered by a cordless drill.
  He ran a 12-in. length of 1/2-in. dia. all-thread rod through a wire spool and fastened 1/2-in. nuts and washers onto both sides of the spool. He then slipped a 3 1/2-in. length of 1/2-in. schedule 40 pipe over one end of the rod and fastened a nut onto its end to form a handle.
  To unroll wire he ties one end of the wire to a post, then grabs the handle and starts walking. To roll up wire, he attaches a 1/2-in. cordless drill to the other end of the rod.
  Stover also came up with a post pounder designed for electric fence posts. He simply welded one end of a 2-ft. length of 1/2-in. schedule 40 pipe onto a 1/2-in. length of 1 1/2-in. round bar stock.
  “To drive the post I just insert the open end of the pipe over the post. The long pipe keeps the post from bending or splintering,” says Stover.
