Fence Repair Tool and Method

Abstract

A wire fence tool and method, the tool being an elongated rod with a loop and hole, end to end) in the center section that is used to rotate strand(s) of wire that placed in the hole to tighten broken wire strands or wire splice strand, and method for repair fence wire with the tool.

1 . A fence repair tool comprising a rod having a hole in between the ends. 
     
     
         2 . The rod of  claim 1  wherein the hole is located the center one third section of the rod and there is a tapered pointed end on one end of the rod. 
     
     
         3 . The rod of  claim 1  wherein there is a loop at one end of the rod. 
     
     
         4 . The rod of  claim 1  wherein the rod is steel, iron, stainless steel or polymer 
     
     
         5 . The rod of  claim 1  wherein the rod is any shape and has a diameter of ⅜ to 2 inches and a length of 6 to 24 inches. 
     
     
         6 . A method of wire fence repair comprising:
 a.) forming loops in both ends of a broken wire of a wire on a stranded wire fence;   b. forming a loop on an end of a splicing wire where the loop in formed in a loop of a.) to provide a loop connection between the two;   c.) bending the other end of the splicing wire and feed it through the loop of the broken wire that is not otherwise connected to the splicing wire;   d.) feeding a short end of the splicing wire that has been fed into the loop on the broken wire in   e.) and bending it to form a bent end having a long connected section and a short loose end;   f.) feeding the short end of the bent wire of d.) into a hole in a rod and rotating the rod to tighten the splicing wire between the broken end of the fence wires until a desired tightness is achieved;   g.) rotating the rod in the opposite direction to unroll the short loose end to the wire to a point that it may be removed from the hole in the rod; and   h.) forming a loop in the short end of the splicing wire connected to a loop in the broken wire to form a secure connection.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6  wherein the rod of f.) comprises a rod having a hole located the center one third section of the rod and has a tapered pointed end on one end and a loop at one end of the rod. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7  wherein the rod is of any shape and has a diameter of ⅜ to 2 inches and a length of 6 to 24 inches.
