“Cat’s Claw” Holds Fence Wire Tight

“Cat’s Claw” Holds Fence Wire Tight FENCING Miscellaneous “Our new fencing fastener holds the wire in place by keeping pressure on the holding area with only one screw It makes fence construction and repair a much faster and easier job ” says inventor Curtis Almy Miles City Montana His “Cat’s Claw” fastener consists of a toothed steel claw with V-shaped slots that hold the wire and a pre-attached self-tapping corrosion-coated 2-in long hex head screw The fastener can be used with all types of wires including barbed bare and electrical as well as cattle and hog panels wire netting and horse fence “The V-shaped slots have teeth that bite into the wood instead of just resting on the surface so the same fastener can be used on any size wire ” says Almy “It can be reused on the same post or on another post by quickly backing out the screw That saves a lot of time when you want to move temporary livestock fences to a new location ” Almy recently used a scale to conduct “pull-out strength” tests comparing Cats Claws to staples   “I ran four pull-out tests on a 1 3/4-in barbed staple and then four tests on a Cats Claw   On average the staple pulled out of the post at 151 lbs of pulling pressure compared to 644 lbs for the Cats Claw  “I was more than a little surprised at the huge difference ” says Almy Cat’s Claws are sold in jugs that contain 170 staples along with a magnetic 1/4-in hex head bit that goes into a standard impact wrench or drill Cat’s Claws sell for 32 cents apiece If ordering online use the code “farmshow” for free shipping Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Cat’s Claw Fasteners LLC 28 N Montana Ave Suite 3C Miles City Mont 59301 ph 406 934-0700; curt@catsclawsfasteners com; www catsclawfasteners com
