TuffRing™ II Insulator

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (30) Read reviews »

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.

How to Use

Using a TuffRing Power Driver:

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.

Without a Power Driver Tool:

Predrill holes in the wooden post
Screw insulator completely into the post.
Thread low-tension conductor through insulator.

Tips

Utilize the leverage of a screwdriver when installing without a power driver. Slide the shaft between the halves of the insulator and twist to fasten.

Add a P Spring when terminating to maintain desired tension.

It took us hitting one of these with a tractor to break it, so they live up to their name. It’s a versatile insulator that works well as a line fence insulator or a terminal insulator (can be used with P Springs). This is our go-to wood post insulator. To speed installation, use the power driver. While you can use a TuffRing at corners, the rotating PI 21 or Rotating Corner Post insulators are better suited.

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.
