Use a fiberglass handled hammer, touch the head to the steel post and slowly move the other side of the head to the wire. The bigger the gap the spark jumps the more it will kick butt ;) My buddies will do 1/2 inch easy :O

I tested when first installed with one of these

and a jumper wire . It was not as bright as an ignition coil puts out but bright enough to see out in the sun light . FYI

Gee thanks Tim! :rofl:

I’m sure it’s considered cruel and unusual punishment today but, I got told to go check the fence plenty of times at home when I was growing up. This has always been my tester!

Ha ha, been there done that. We would do all the stupid stuff when we were young, grab someone then grab the fence, con a unknowing sucker into grabbing it. The big one with the " weed burner" would really get your attention. :rofl:

I went out this evening and got the fence set up and turned on. I guess it’s time to test it. I felt it was time to pass the torch or in this case the :!:

After a lot of goading I got him to touch it! :rofl:
The fence works, he jumped! I touched it too so I could give a fair report. I have to say I wasn’t very impressed. Yes it gives a shock but it’s no where near what one that you plug into power puts out. I don’t think it will stop a sly raccoon. I guess we’ll see. This is a Galloway solar fencer just in case someone wants to try it.

Now here’s a question for the electrically knowledgeable folks here.

My :wife: brought 2 of these home, she got them on sale of course. Now I know why! The question is since I have 2 can I hook them together to up the voltage?

There's a chance that one might fry the other one. Do you have any specs for it?

But keep in mind that the raccoon isn't wearing shoes, it'll feel a bigger zap.
