USER TESTIMONIALS
"We used to use one of the V-channel Galvanised Droppers but switched to Lightning® Droppers as the fencing contractors were complaining that the clips and the key-hook tool with those V-type droppers was too difficult to get around the ‘Iowa’ barb. The Lightning goes straight on and is much quicker to put on too. We’ve been using them for 15 – 17 years now and replaced none.. If you loose the fence, you can rebuild or repair the fence, and re-use the dropper." Dick Wilson – Pastoral Supervisor, Consolidated Pastoral Company, Katherine, NT "Our family has been using Lightning Fence Droppers for about 33 years and still considers them to be the best fence droppers on the market " "Much quicker than the others to put on. I can install 1,000 droppers in a couple of hours all up. They’re really good to use and there is no problem with them shifting. The others cripple much more easily … in fact I don’t think I have ever seen a Lightning cripple … the others (V-Type) just don’t seem as ‘steely’ – they’re softer than Lightning. " Rex Bowyer – Fencing Contractor "Just started buying Lightning- 3500 – 4000 in the last couple of months … lighter, a lot easier to put on. There’s a lot more mucking around to install V-Type … a matter of seconds to install the Lightning … at least ¼ of the time of the others … I mean could be 3 seconds to install (with a bit of practice). We’ve got a lot of suspension fences and the lighter weight of the Lightning means the wires don’t sag. They put up with a lot of punishment … I’ve seen cattle hit a fence with Lightning Droppers on it and they just bounce back with no effect to the fence at all. The others (V-Type) bend; mate, I’ve seen them break! I’ll keep using them – I’ve got 30km going up at the moment & that’s all I’ll use. Most people out here use ‘em." Chris Dmitrieff, Proprietor, CURRAJONG (30,000-acre property) "So much easier to install than the V-Type … the V-Type are so time consuming. If we do 1km of fence with posts at 10m centres and three droppers between it takes us around 4 – 5 hours using red gum droppers, about 3 hours using V-Type and barely ONE HOUR with Lightning. With labour around $60.00 per hour that’s a big saving. If we quote a job (quote per metre or chain), we charge for the difficulty of the fence – it’s quicker for us to install Lightning so our quote is cheaper. If we quote Lightning, we win! lightning Fence Dropper they last longer, Red Gum we use tie wire to install but they’ll break if hit and they weather – life span about 10 years, V-Type Galvanised cripple if they’re hit. If a wire breaks with Lightning the wire will pull through (the loops) – so you can re-run the wire without removing the droppers, with a V-Type you must remove all the droppers in the section to repair and re-strain the fence. If you don’t you’ll have a very crooked fence! We just love the Lightning product. We’re trying to convince everyone around here to use it." Phil & Mandy Hart, Figure 8 Fencing, Deniliquin, NSW
