Frequently asked questions: Vigor Italia
Which Vigor wire strainers should I choose for a fence or a taut wire?

Sheet-metal wire strainers are used to tension metal wires on fences, pergolas and anchor points. They are chosen according to the width indicated in the title, for example 85, 100 or 115 mm, and the finish. The galvanised version is the basic finish for outdoor use, while the green plastic-coated one is also chosen for its appearance. The strainer must be fixed to a solid support and the wire must be tensioned gradually.

Which galvanised eye-and-eye turnbuckle from Vigor should I choose for a given wire?

Galvanised eye-and-eye turnbuckles are chosen according to the diameter of the wire or tie rod, indicated in the title in millimetres or inches, for example 10-3/8 mm or 6-1/4 mm. The diameter must match that of the wire to be tensioned. The body is turned to adjust the tension. Before using it, check that the eyes are closed and that the piece is not deformed.

Which Vigor galvanised eyes should I match to a turnbuckle: 5, 10 or 12 mm?

Galvanised eyes for turnbuckles are matched to the diameter of the turnbuckle and of the wire. The catalogue includes sizes of 5, 10 and 12 mm, to be chosen according to the load and the cross-section of the wire. The eye must be closed properly and positioned in line with the turnbuckle, to avoid bending. Check that the sizes are compatible before assembly, because an undersized eye can deform under tension.

What are Vigor galvanised thimbles used for?

Vigor galvanised thimbles are metal components available in sizes of 14, 16, 18 and 20 mm. The number in the title indicates the size, which must be compared with the diameter of the other components of the connection. Galvanising protects against rust in outdoor environments. Before assembly, check that the size is compatible and that the piece is not bent or damaged.

Which Vigor taps and dies should I use for threading?

Taps and dies are used to create threads: the tap cuts the internal thread in a hole, the die cuts the external thread on a rod. They are chosen according to the pitch and the diameter of the thread to be made. Before working, you need a hole or a rod of the correct diameter, and it is advisable to use a lubricant suited to the material. Turn at a steady pace so as not to break the tool.

Which Vigor spray paints, paints and wood stains should I choose for wood and metal?

Vigor spray paints, paints and wood stains are used to protect and decorate wood, metal and household surfaces. The choice depends on the substrate: the wood stain is designed for wood, the spray paint for small surfaces. Before applying, clean the surface and read the instructions on the packaging, with the drying times and the number of coats. Work in a ventilated area and use the protection indicated on the label.

Which Vigor chainsaw should I use for firewood in the garden?

Vigor chainsaws are used to cut small pieces of wood in the garden. They are chosen according to the length of the bar, the engine displacement and the type of work, that is, small cuts or more demanding pruning. Before use, read the manual, check the chain and wear a helmet, glasses, gloves and cut-resistant trousers. Do not cut with one hand only, and keep people at a safe distance.
