You attach the handle to the disc and turn clock wise until the wire has reached the desired tension. Then one of the notches on the rim of the disc engages the wire, holding the wire tight and keeping the Reel- Tite securely on the fence. The handle is removed and the Reel-Tite stays on the fence. Because the discs, which are inexpensive, are left on the fence, any subsequent slack in the wire can be reeled up by simply re engaging the handle and cranking up any new slack in the wire. The Reel-Tite will take up slight slack in the wire for up to 80 rods. When there is a great deal of slack or rough terrain, more discs may be needed.
