I lost my T-Post stepper.
Need to buy another.
Where can I get one?
Everybody I have checked so far, are "Out of stock".
Thanks,
Nate

Dang... I see that it is also out of stock.
Sorry Nate.
I used to have one, but never trusted it. However with the gleeming advancement in age, grace and subsequent girth rendered it unsuitable. I think I gave it to an associate years ago.
I always find a nice spot to slide underneath the lowest wire, hopefully within a 100 ft or so of where I want to be.
would vise grips be a decent substitute?
LOBO PRODUCTS is place they are made and where I ordered mine.
I tried calling their number several times and it was always busy, so maybe you can catch them.
They are great, got one in every vehicle.
The Hi-Stepper was made by Lobo Outdoor Products. Unfortunately, they are no longer in business. A click on their website reveals that the domain name is up for sale.
This works, too. About $15 at your local hardware store:

Long legs, a lot of downward force and proper identification of the best crossing spot combine to eliminate the need for such a thing. Crawling over at a corner post using the wire as steps is a reasonable approach whenever possible. Going around or through a semi-convenient gate works quite well also. Better to take a bit more time, at the client's expense, than leave the family jewels for coyote bait.

Thanks Derek... I have tried every link on that page. The guy that made them, is gone.
Dunno.
I'd like to buy 2 of them.

Ditto.
Can't you make your own, a torch, grinder and files should be enough tools or go to a shop with a sketch and have it done. Myself having been going through, over and under barb wire fences almost 70 years look for a wood brace post, a rock jack or crib if I can't find enough slack to go over or through. I carry fencing pliers with me so I can easily remove clips and staples and put them back on. Also carry wire stretchers and a little wire in the rig so I can make my own gate if needed. The old timers knew stock got out, so they put gates in the corners, modern man is not so bright. I have seen those things advertized but have also seen to many steel posts in soils that would make it dangerous to use such a device, even if I was carrying one about.
jud
I hate to see farmers, watch me climb their sweat built fence. Using a Hi-stepper is more professional, than crawling on the dirt, breaking wires off, and generally reducing the value of the fence.
IMHO
I think I will make me one, like one of you above said, if I cannot find one.

Most likely it is still on the last fence you crossed.

We crossed a fence, and went about 900' more, shot a corner, on a township line, came back. Crossed the fence, hopped on the 4-wheeler, and big help was listening to me, describe why we needed those locations, for our survey. He was distracted, and listening to me, and not picking up the post stepper.
IF any of you have one, we would like to borrow it for a month, and make a copy. I have a buddy, who works with sand casting.
Thanks!!

If you get one cast, be sure to test it thoroughly before actual use to see if it is strong enough. The original probably was made with a selected alloy and heat treated. You really don't want to get straddle of a fence and have it break.
I showed this thread to my wife
and told her "These guys are not gonna cut me no slack". (Referring to the above description of HOW to go OVER UNDER AROUND, etc yeah, good grief, you even told me HOW to get across!) and she said "Why would they?" So, no slack from HER either!
Where is my wife beating stick??? (she says not to leave any of my slacks on the fence, she should know better. I don't wear slacks, except maybe to funerals!!)
🙂
Nate
I found some!!
And, since supply is low, I bought 10 of them.
They should be here next wk.
I will have a few for sale, but I have a few persons around here that will own their own!
