Abstract: A portable support device for inserting into the ground and in one embodiment is useful for forming a temporary barricade, corridor or an enclosure arrangement for livestock. The support device has (a) a support frame having a first member, a second member and a cross-brace member rigidly connected to the first and second members and (b) a third member moveably mounted to the cross-brace member and having a free end with a means for securing the third member to the ground. In a preferred embodiment, the support device further includes (c) an angled member having a face portion and spaced-apart first and second ends attached to the first and second members, respectively. The face includes a wire reel or spool holding support means for hanging a reel or spool of wire fencing material of a predetermined length onto the support device.

Abstract: The thread forming tool assembly includes a steel holder block, a carbide tool and a threaded fastener. The steel holder block has block top, bottom, first side, second side, base end and a carbide tool engaging end. A tool engaging end, of the holder block includes a first holder tool engaging surface and a second holder tool engaging surface that diverge from each other. A carbide tool has a first holder engaging surface that engages the first holder tool engaging surface and a second holder engaging surface that engages the second holder tool engaging surface. Thread forming exerts forces on the carbide tool that urge the first and second holder engaging surfaces toward engagement with the tool engaging end of the holder block.
