Has anyone used these T-Post insulators? If so are they any good?

Has anyone here ever put the wire on the outside of the posts, away from the pasture/field when using electric fence? I've never tried it, and it may not make any difference at all as deer travel both ways, but I've considered it. Guess anything is destructible when deer are involved.
I turn every other T post so the wire is pushing and pulling on the insulators. We have very little problems with the deer tearing stuff up. The deer tangle a single hot wire around the barb wire fairly often. Wish I'd of never put a piece of barb wire on the place, nothing but work.JMJ Farms":258k4y02 said:Ebenezer":258k4y02 said:Let me know an update when the deer have run through.

Instead of the 12.5ga HT I might try some 14ga.. maybe it'll be a little more friendly to work with.. I'd rather have one extra strand.
Those insulators look good.. especially around slight bends.. I'd use it for polywire though.
