    I’m considering on giving my father one of these for Christmas. I’m considering getting the Gallagher’s one. Well mainly because I know they like the brand and have had bad experience with other brands when it comes to electric fence equipment.
    Also are they reliable and worth the money?

    Thanks in advance.

    I have the Gallagher one for a few yers now never had a problem apart from replacing the battery once. Its a great gadget so to speak. Thought I had lost it a couple of times which would have been expensive but it turned up again! Had several cheaper versions probably spent the price of the gallagher over the years.

    Exactly. Great job. Great time-saver when accompanied with the fault finder.

    If there is no credit in the gsm plug sim card how are you able to tell if its on or not (without touching fence)

    This is the good part. You have the tester to check it before you touch it. That's why both together are the dogs boll*cks

    You can set some to ring you back for confirmation. The call back costs nothing because it just rings once and disconnects.

    But if you are looking for faults then you'd want a tester with you anyway.

    Cheers, I ordered the Gallagher’s one there.
    I know there was other brands but Gallagher’s is the brand we like the best when it comes to ending equipment.
