Removing Clipex Posts is Easy with Xtracto
Clipex fence posts are known for their strength, durability and ease of installation. However, when it comes to removing them, that same durability can make the job challenging without the right equipment.
We’ve all been there before, you can’t get your post out of the ground and it hangs in there no matter how hard you pull. That’s where the Xtracto comes in. Designed for fast, safe and efficient extraction, the Xtracto provides a professional solution for removing Clipex posts without the hassle, strain or damage associated with manual methods.
Why are Clipex posts hard to remove?
Clipex posts are engineered to grip firmly in the ground, often driven deep for maximum stability. While this is ideal for long-lasting fencing, it can create challenges when repositioning fence lines, replacing damaged posts, removing temporary fencing or clearing land for new projects.
On top of this, traditional removal methods such as digging, levering or manual pulling can be time-consuming, physically demanding and often ineffective – causing injury to both worker and post.
The Xtracto advantage for Clipex removal
The Xtracto tool is specifically built to handle tough removal jobs like Clipex fence posts. Its design allows for controlled, vertical lifting force, making removal far quicker and more efficient than manual techniques with minimal effort required.
Using Xtracto to remove Clipex ensures:
- A strong, secure grip on steel posts
- Controlled lifting to protect posts from bending or damage
- Compatibility with a wide range of post sizes and profiles to fit the task at hand
- Safe and stable operation on-site
Designed for convenience, Xtracto easily fits onto an impact wrench with dedicated fittings available for certain models from DeWalt, Makita and Milwaukee - no complicated set-up and no specialised machinery required. With a pulling force of up to 2.5 tonnes, Xtracto packs serious power in a compact attachment to help you remove stubborn items like Clipex posts with ease.

Reduce damage, increase reuse
One of the biggest benefits of using the Xtracto is the ability to remove Clipex posts without bending or distorting them. This means that posts can often be reused, creating less material waste as well as lower replacement costs. For contractors and landowners alike, Xtracto adds real long-term value to any fencing project.
Improve safety and reduce fatigue
Manual post removal can be physically exhausting and potentially hazardous. Repetitive lifting, awkward leverage and unstable footing all increase the risk of injury.
The Xtracto tool, on the other hand, eliminates the need for unnecessary jerking or twisting manually, reducing stress on both the post and the operator. By minimising the manual effort needed, Xtracto reduces strain on the back and arms and provides a safer, more controlled extraction process - making it ideal for large-scale fencing projects or frequent use.
Perfect for fencing professionals and landowners
Whether you’re adjusting a fence line, carrying out repairs or clearing land, the Xtracto ensures you can remove Clipex posts quickly and efficiently.
It’s particularly valuable for fencing contractors, farmers and land managers, rural property owners and temporary fencing installers.
Clipex fence posts are built to last, but that doesn’t mean they have to be difficult to remove. With the Xtracto tool, you can handle even the toughest extractions with speed, control and minimal effort.
