MaxiShock™ Wire
Famous for 2 qualities:
- Has a very thick outer coating of zinc (Class IV). So it will last up to 10 years without rusting in humid climates.
- Low tensile strength. Therefore, it's very easy to wind, unwind, cut, tie and join. MaxiShock allows simple, conductive, long-lasting connections without any tools other than side-cutting pliers.
Note: Pre-wound option includes a SupaReel spool. Carry and wind-up handles sold separately (see under accessories below).

Common Uses
Specs
- 10 years probable life
- Silver in color
- 1.7mm diameter
- Poor visibility
- Good portability
- 19 ohms per 1000 ft
- 160 lb breaking strength
- Zinc coating
Cost
Less expensive per year of use than farm-store polywire and tape because it lasts so long.
Installation
- Attach a terminal insulator (T posts or wood posts insulators available) to beginning/end post. If fence section/length is under 1000', you can attach MaxiShock directly to the terminal insulator at this end.
- Unroll MaxiShock along the fence line. (Using Premier's reels makes this easier.)
- Insert line posts.
- Attach insulators at desired heights on line posts and remaining end posts. Plastic posts have clips built in so no insulators will be needed.
- Insert MaxiShock into insulators or built in clips.
- Attach P spring to end post and loop MaxiShock through the P Spring - just once at this point.
- By hand, pull MaxiShock tight until the P Spring is half compressed.
- Cut MaxiShock with wire cutters or a strong pair of scissors -leaving about 4" to work with. Loop MaxiShock through end of P Spring again and wrap remainder tightly around fence line to secure.
- Use one of our SupaReels to rewind and store MaxiShock.
- Install and connect energizer to a ground rod and the fence.
- Turn on energizer.
- Check to make sure voltage is over 2000 volts.

This wire is a pleasure to work with, can be twisted by hand etc. It also carries a shock! extremely well. Animals that always 'tested' the fence flat don't anymore-cows, sheep, lambs and horses, the dogs dno't bother it either.
