electric fence fault finder

[gwithrow]

I need to know if anyone has experience with the Kencove fault finder, I have heard good things about the Stafix compass, but for 25 dollars less how does the Kencove branded one work?...on the other hand if the Stafix one is truly superior, then the 25 dollars difference is worth it

All you really need is your eyes and your ears. If it is dead shorted you should be able to see it and if it is arcing you will hear it.

i use a galliger SP expensive but so is your time and if cows get out in bad weather and you have a few miles of fencing you will be glad you have one

They're very useful. I'm thinking of getting one of the Kencove's when ours dies. We've had this one for a long time:

Great tool.
