Fencing with the versatile Zarebra Pin Lock Insulator, Great Value for Electric Fencing

After constructing our first electric fence our small farm needed more perimeter.  It was back to the drawing board and another trip to the fencing aisle.  Having previously used and liked the Zarebra screw-in insulators we had decided to buy them again.  The problem was that our local Tractor Supply store was out of stock.  Needing to get the fence up that day we decided to give an alternative Zarebra product a try.

Zarebra Pin Lock Wood and T- Post Insulator (IWTPLB-Z):  We looked at these insulators when we constructed our first electric fence, but opted for the Zarebra screw-in insulator.  On a closer look we discovered that this insulator was even more versatile than the screw-in insulator. The Pin Lock Insulator can also be used with 9 gauge through 22 gauge high-tensile steel wire and aluminum wire, all polywire, both regular and, and polyrope up to ¼ inch in diameter.  Having the ability to secure them to a t-post as well as a wood post really adds some value to this electric fence insulator.  Surprisingly this product costs only $11 for a bag of 25, a bit less expensive than the alternative screw-in Zarebra insulator.

Review:  This insulator is a full plastic construction, no apparent metal in it.  Although plastic construction it appears to be very rigid and possibly not as brittle as the screw-in insulator.  We were able to secure each insulator to our cedar posts with two screws that were not included.  After mounting you simply place the wire into position and push the plastic pin into place.  Everything works fluently with the simple insulator and the plastic construction ensures no grounding.  I'll have to admit that after using these insulators they have become my favorite.  The Zarebra Pin Lock insulator may be the best value on the market.
