    Anyone use them? Are they useful or an unnecessary luxury?

    Good man Legwax. Are they bought ones or are they a homemade job? I think they are expensive enough

    My land is divided by central farm roadway. One link wire, easily disconnected supplying power across road. All paddocks only live if handles closed, so if I want to give full belt to a paddock, I open the rest of them.:)

    I too think they look expensive... think i've seen small versions of croadile clips like off of a welder earth cable.... looked alright

    personally I am of the mind that all wires should be left permenantly on... except for winter. a good hot wire should self clean to a degree. Also found that the amount of time spent changing wires around to give only one hot field was extraordinary not to mention the increased potiential for cock ups:eek:

    handy for isolating padocks during maintainance.
    but i also spoted gsm switch on dd ;)

    I also spotted that, but I won't be purchasing, not at that money. Half it and I'd still be thinking!
