High-Steppin’ Fence Tool
By Dan Kitchen
Driving around the countryside, you see a lot of fencing hung on T-posts — they’re economical posts for wire fences. Well, don’t you wish there was an easy way to get over ‘em? Lobo Products grants that wish, with the T-Post Stepper.
Made of cast aircraft aluminum, the T-Post Stepper clips onto a T-post and allows you to step up and over the fence. Once you get to the other side, you simply slide it off and mosey on to the next fence. Though it’s only 8″ x 2-1/2″ x 1″, it’ll support up to 1,000 lbs of potential trespasser. Originally designed for hunters, this tool has also helped out surveyors, forest rangers, and other outdoor professionals.
If you’d like to jump your own fences, the T-Post stepper will set you back about $15.

Nice and simple, as it should be. This would make a great “What is It?” for tool shows.

If that thing ever slips, somebody’s going to be singin’ soprano for awhile.

They also work in the other direction as a nice grab or jack point for t post removal.
If any of you all need to install a lot of t post fencing, I would recommend an auto post pounder, if you don’t have a piece of heavy equipment to push them in with.

Man do I wish I’d had one of these a year ago. Did my usual step and bounce over move and well, let’s just say it was an inelegant solution that my leg still has memories of to this day.
