sumo 0 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 The easiest way i know to straighten wire is the way the ceiling fixers do which is before you cut it to size fasten one end to a fence post or somthing simular unroll about 20 yards then fasten it to a old drill electric or battery pull it tight and give it about 30/40 revs make sure you keep plenty of tension on the wire then let the drill back wind between 5 to 10 revs then cut it of the drill PLEASE be carefull as it might still spin back a little when you cut it you should have a length of straight wire ready to be cut into what ever length you want atb stu Quote Link to post
