Wire Tensioner / Wire Strainer

Our patented wire tensioner is a breakthrough for fencing and wire straining in general.

• No moving parts
• Simple and safe to apply
• No wire puller needed.
• Can be used to join two wires
• Now galvanised for extra rust protection.

• See the video on the home page

While the tensioner can be applied and tightened using standard tools, for large applications we have a custom designed handle that makes application even quicker and easier.

How to use

See the video on our home page

IMPORTANT:  Always use appropriate personal protection equipment and do not over tighten fence wire.

• Place the tensioner onto the wire so that it hangs freely as shown in the photo.

• Use any suitable metal rod such as the handle of a crescent or our custom handle to tighten the tensioner.

• Keep the tensioner parallel to the wire.

• It helps to push forward horizontally on the tensioner to allow the wire to easily pass the hooked ends of the tensioner.

• Once the wire is tight pull back on the tensioner and allow to turn back until the ends hook firmly on the wire.

• You're done!

Joining two wires

• To join two wires, put one wire through the tensioner from each side as shown in the photo to the right.
•  Then simply wind up  - once you’re finished, cut off the excess loose ends.
