Troubleshooting
Clamp does not hold tension
Ensure the clamp is driven firmly into solid ground or against a robust post. Check that the fence wire is correctly seated within the clamp's mechanism. For very soft soil, consider using a wider base or reinforcing the ground.
Difficult to hammer in
Ensure the ground is not excessively hard or rocky. Moisten very dry, hard ground slightly if possible. Confirm the hammer is appropriate for striking metal.
Rust formation
This is a steel product and can rust if exposed to moisture long-term. Clean and dry thoroughly after use and store in a dry place. A light application of oil can help prevent rust.
Fence wire slips out
Ensure the wire is routed correctly through the clamp's channel before driving the wedge. Make sure the wedge is fully engaged to grip the wire securely.
