What happens here

The presenter demonstrates how to efficiently remove and wind up electric fence wire. He removes an electric fence post by pulling it out of the ground. He then introduces a custom-made tool, which consists of a long threaded rod, nuts, and two circular pieces of wood, designed to be attached to a drill. This tool allows for quick and easy reeling of the fence wire.
