What happens here

To ensure proper electrical conductivity and safe handling, the presenter connects the polybraid wire to the Speedrite fence handle. He advises pulling the polybraid through the loop on the handle and wrapping it around the metal hook three times. This maximizes contact with the conductive elements in the polybraid, as the internal nylon strings do not conduct electricity. He also notes that fraying ends of the polybraid should be snipped off for a cleaner connection. The connection is secured with a simple slip knot, similar to tying a fishing lure, by wrapping the wire around itself two to three times before pulling tight. The handle features an insulated plastic grip and a metal hook; the metal hook gets electrified, while the plastic handle remains safe to touch.

Goal: The presenter demonstrates how to correctly attach the polybraid wire to an electric fence handle, ensuring good electrical contact while maintaining insulation for safe handling.

plastic okay so what we got to do is drop that real quick we're back we got to bring this poly braid again not just plain old poly wire poly braid we're going to bring that poly braid right through that loop and we're going to try and give it the most contact it can possibly have with that metal surface okay because this is your bread and butter if we use a knife right there we go sometimes you might have to nip out the end if it starts to fray it's all good an inch missing an inch of this is a whole lot easier than uh than having to figure out another way so here we go wrapping it around probably three times that's a good sharp knife on that gerber i like a gerber tool guys post a comment tell me what you think tell me if you like gerber tools uh go through there just like so we'll go back through one more time and we'll be ready to tie our knot intellibrade is very powerful it carries the juice really well but inside here our nylon strings on the outside here are nylon strings with woven uh i believe it's aluminum in there correct me if i'm wrong so we're gonna tie a knot just like we tie on a fishing lure so i go around two three i believe it's called a half hitch knot this is how i tie on my fishing lures guys tell me if i'm wrong about doing that but uh we'll tie that knot on there and it's kind of a slip knot so there we go pull it nice and snug and tight the cows are fussing man okay we're ready we're tied off ready to rock and roll this is ready to hook up we're to go up here we're going to hook this poly line we're going to run it down we're going to put it in our step-in posts which are already positioned if it's dry weather you're going to have trouble getting these step-in posts in the ground so if you think about it ahead of time and you get a rainstorm and you know you got to move your cows go on and put your step in post in while it's wet outside don't make the same mistake that i've made in the past you can't get them in the ground when it's hard as a rock we don't have any topsoil the solar charger i use is called the intellishock this is the intellishock 60. we also have 120s on the other side of the farm i think that'll do around five miles of fence that is a lot of solar power right there this thing's all set up and it's easy to hook up and take loose i clip this onto my fence because we have a metal post or you can use a
