Those, and some good lineman's pliers make the work much easier. I have the bolt cutter and a variety of pliers. Even with pliers, bending 26 wires (and crimping them) puts a hurt on the wrist and forearm. I may have to make a bending tool for the next batch so I onl have to worry about bending and not holding the pliers closed on the wire too. -- Wes Dukes (wdukes.pobox@com) Swap the . and the @ to email me please. is a garbage address. |

Maybe you are doing twice as much work as necessary. Daniel B. Martin Yes I could get away with wiring horizontals from one end to vertical on the other, but those welds tend to give out faster so I cut in the middle of a section and connect each horizontal wire to its countepart on the other end. -- Wes Dukes (wdukes.pobox@com) Swap the . and the @ to email me please. is a garbage address. |
