Perfect for corner and end posts. Much easier than other options. Durable.

These are the best, currently spacing them out to reinforce the existing insulators on my horse fence, from now on these will be my "go to" insulator.
Larry G from Florida
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!
