Abstract: A fence dropper formed from a length of rod or wire bent to a central generally linear portion having arms extending at right angles from either end of the central portion is provided with loops at either end of the central portion and one or more intermediate loops between the loops at either end. Each loop is designed to engage a parallel fence wire when the arm portions are at right angles to the fence wires, and to restrain the fence wire within an aperture defined by the loops when the arms are rotated to lie alongside the top and bottom end wires. Provision is made to engage the free ends of the arms with the fence wires when in the parallel configuration.
