What Is a Wire Strainer Tool?
A wire strainer, also called a chain strainer, fence stretcher, or wire tensioner, is a tool that pulls fence wire tight during installation or maintenance. You hook it to a post and the wire, then ratchet or wind the chain to stretch out slack.
Why it matters: Loose wire sags, animals escape, and security fails. A proper strainer keeps your fence stock-proof and looking professional for 10+ years.
Why Farmers Choose Our Wire Strainers
- Heavy-Duty Rated – 1 Ton, 2 Ton & 4 Ton models for plain, barbed, and high-tensile wire
- Hot-Dipped Galvanized – Won’t rust in rain, coastal air, or cattle trough splash zones
- Fast Re-Tensioning – Ratchet types tighten old fence wire in under 2 minutes per line
- Permanent or Temporary – In-line strainers stay on the fence. Chain strainers remove after use
- No Special Tools – Hooks directly to wire. Add a strainer handle for extra leverage
- Livestock & Security – Used on cattle farms, game reserves, and electric security fences.
How to Use a Chain Wire Strainer in 4 Steps
- Anchor to Post – Hook the strainer chain around your strainer post or stay assembly
- Grip the Wire – Clamp the wire grip onto the loose fence wire 1m from the post
- Ratchet Tight – Pump the handle to pull wire until it “sings” when flicked
- Tie Off & Release – Wrap and tie the wire to the post, then release the strainer
Pro tip: Install permanent in-line strainers every 100m and at corners. Use the chain strainer to pre-tension before tying off.
Works with: Barbed wire, plain wire, high-tensile, HT wire, galvanized wire 1.6mm to 6mm.
