What Is It?

Found this today cleaning and moving stuff around. Wire or fence stretcher?

Looks like a marital aid! I agree that it looks like an old fence stretcher. It is pretty cool whatever it is.

this reminds me of a conversation with my son: "Dad, I realize that your generation just isn't as good with technology because you didn't grow up with it". "Yeah? Which technology?"

I didn't grow up on a farm. How does a fence stretcher work and why does the fence need to be stretched?

Not sure how that particular one works, but you need to stretch the fence so that it doesn't have any "slack" in it. You want it to be tight and firm. Kinda like women, really.

My guess here... And it's only that.. is that you used this to twist the wires until tight.

Don't know for sure what it is, but it's by FAR the best one of those I've ever seen!

I never knew just what it was, and I guess I never will... But it looks like a marvelous toy.
