How to Use a Fence Fork

A fence fork consists of two curved metal prongs set in a handle. It is used with special clips to secure a section of a wire fence to a post. The tool efficiently wraps a clip around the wire and the post. It speeds up the process of installing these types of fences and prevents fatigue as well as scratches from the wire. A fence fork also allows you to detach the fence connections with little effort.
