Solar Powered Hot Wire

Has anyone used this product, or one similar? I have no power at my garden or coop and was considering this as an extra barrier for predators and nuisance animals. The reviews are some good and some bad, not sure if I should try it.

You're welcome. Harbor Freight is usually good about refunds/exchanges so I may give it a try. They have this model that is about half of others I have found. I'm on a really tight budget, but still want to make sure my garden and coop are safe. My dogs are my biggest concern, but one or two good zaps should train them

I have a solar powered electric fence around the yews in the front of my house that deer nearly ruined several years ago. Since using it, they do not get near it.....seems to work very well.

Thanks Greg, I think I'm going to give it a try.

I would spend a little more and get a reputable brand.

Some harbor freight tools are okay....some are not. In my experience, their pnuematic tools are pretty good, but anything with a cord seems to burn up pretty quick.

You're right, I bought a pallet jack from them and it has held up great, the drill bit the dust within a week. I will check out Tractor Supply, thanks

this was my thought also--harbor freight stuff has it's purpose, but this may not be one of them.
