Discounted price! Gallagher Smartfix fault finders are great tools for checking electric fence. High tensile to poly wire fencing can be repaired to high voltage working condition quickly with the Smartfix.

Simply connect the Smartfix to your electric fence. You can read the voltage and it will direct you to fence shorts or grounding faults. Keep checking the fence until the highest amp reading is found and there is the fault. If you have the Gallagher remote, you can un-power the electric fence energizer to make the repair.

just another hint for better livestock management for the Gallagher electric fence store at Valley Farm Supply.

Sold Here! We sold another Gallagher S22 Solar Electric Fence Charger today to a customer in Indiana. The Gallagher S22 replaces the older Gallagher S17 Solar fencer with more power and capable of keeping in cattle, goats, horses, sheep, chickens and other livestock better than before.

We give free shipping on most electric fencer chargers and a free electric fence tester with the order.

Electric fence Idea! We got a call today from an innovative farmer who builds and uses a lot of electric fence in his cattle / livestock operation. He has lost 3 electric fence charger fault finder / remote controls over the last few years. His idea is to use DOT approved reflective tape.

He cuts it into strips and covers the electric fence voltmeter / fault finder / or energizer remote on all sides. this way if it bounces off the 4 wheeler, gator or mule it can be found easily at night time with a flashlight.
