TuffRing™ II Insulator
Screw-in ring insulator well-suited for starting (or ending) a low-tension fence line on a wooden post.
- Securely holds electroplastic polywires, ropes and twines, or low-tension steel wire. Smooth surface reduces friction and allows conductor to move freely.
- Self-tapping screw (1.25" length) saves time and labor
To ease installation, use a TuffRing Power Driver.
Specs
- Temperature resistant nylon
- Length: 3.5"; Self-tapping screw: 1.25"
- Shank: Galvanized steel (0.23" dia.) to resist corrosion
- Ring diameter: 1.5"; inner diameter: 0.5"
How to Use
- Put bit end of driver tool into chuck of drill and tighten.
- Position driver over the insulator so the ring of insulator fits into cup of driver. Drive insulator completely into the post.
- Thread low-tension conductor through insulator.
- Predrill holes in the wooden post
- Screw insulator completely into the post.
- Thread low-tension conductor through insulator.
Tips
Add a P Spring when terminating to maintain desired tension.

These have to be the best on the market today. I used a competitor brand to supplement when I ran out of these, but they broke during installation and were complete junk. I would recommend these because they are tough. You will be making a big mistake if you use any other brand.

If you have ever had a screw in insulator break off at the base, then this is the one you have been looking for. I performed some destructive testing on my band saw, and found that the steel shank, does in fact, continue through the base, down and around to the centerline of the outer ring, strengthening the common breaking point at the base. These are the only insulators I have found that are built this way, so these are the one's for me! Enjoy!

While installing a temporary fence I used farm store insulator rings and twine. My POODLE ran through it and broke the insulators and the twine acted like a epilator. Premier1 tuff rings do not break and the intellabraid is soft to the touch. I also like the driver. It cuts the work of installing insulators in half. I fully recommend Premier1!

Dealing with Premier1 has been a pleasure and efficient quick response time in delivery. The "braided" rope fencing for our horses is good looking, easy to work with and very effective. Well worth the money bar far.

Live up to their name. Other insulators occasionally broke when I screwed into post. Didn't have a Tuff Ring break yet.
