Wireman reviews and feedback

Some of the local girls were interested to know how the strainers would perform!
Below are some of the reviews and feedback we have received recently.
At Wireman we truly appreciate the feedback we get from our customers. It's not just about listening to good news. People sharing on the ground knowledge of their day in day out experience is invaluable. It has shaped and refined many of the products we make. Without it we would never truly know if what we produce is of any use or not.
We can't fix a problem if we don't know it exists. So, if you have a suggestion or a problem, then please let us know and we will do our best to sort it out.
Thanks, from the Wireman team.

Speedy fencer
I have fitted two Jack The Grippers to a Wireman wire strainer and the difference was amazing. The change was as good as when sliced bread hit the market. No longer were my fingers getting tangled in the wire and the lock on and release of the grippers from the wire being strained was truly first rate and done with ease.

I used your fencing equipment for the second time since I bought it, and just wanted to say what a well made, smart piece of equipment it is. I have never fenced so easily and without the normal frustration of my old wire strainers. I had to save for awhile to buy your gear but I am so glad I did!! I tell everyone who will listen they shouldn't muck about with any other brand, just buy it right the first time, I am 67 very soon and have arthritis but your gear let's me still do the job, again thank you.

Hi Ian
Thought you might like some positive feedback.
So far the extended back fence has kept the roos and deer at bay. Early this morning we were “invaded” by a small herd of deer (they probably came in over the driveway gate). After a couple of shots they panicked and tried to get out over the extended back fence… couldn’t really get over so they tried to go through.
The end result was a couple of broken or detached barbed wire strings (that takes a lot of force but I left the ties as the weak point in case something like this happened) and lots of deer fur on the ground. However, the PoleStar 900s stood up to the onslaught with no damage at all. Just a bit of re-stringing needed and we are back to normal.
Cheers
Terry

Hi I am just letting you know I received the star picket extensions this week and can’t believe what a great product you have come up with.
A big thanks as this is exactly what I needed to add height to my chook pen.

Strained to the Max
We have fitted Jack The Gripper to our hydraulic wire strainer for wires in vineyards.
We would strain more wires in 1 day than most people would do in a month.
They have taken the strain out of the job!

I am fortunate to have found Wireman Fencing Equipment - after watching some of the "Farm Learning with Tim Thompson" videos. Now, I am hooked on their extremely well designed products, and I am blown away by the quality and presentation. My first order were products for fence extensions, my second order was the Strain Walker Classic - Rabbit Ears. This must be the best designed, heavy duty fencing wire strainer - ever. I love that this unit can easily be taken apart, and be used for different chores - in tighter spots. I love the stainless steel chain and fittings. My biggest respect goes to Ian and Fraser, and everyone involved in manufacturing.
Purchased shipped and delivered to my door in Scotland within 5 days! Definitely worth it, very easy to use, and very quick to put on the netting, I wouldn't hesitate if you're wondering about the price. There's non of the hassle of wedge clamps or doing up nuts with a buzz gun!
Simple and easy to read , lm finding all your gear is really good
Absolute weapon
Strain Walker Classic - Chain Grab Tensioner
I purchased the side gripper for my rachet strainer set and have used it twice since 5th of June and it is fantastic, I'm spewing I didn't buy 2 of them.
I found the side gripper a lot better than the straight gripper, just my opinion though, thanks Wireman for another great product.
Once I’m completely used to it they’ll be really good
Strain Walker Classic - Rabbit Ears
Very accurate no more over tensioning
These things are the ducks nuts! We sold our farm and moved to a waterfront property. Installed clipex mesh fence so as not to block the view but the farm cattle dog doesn't like people walking on his beach so after repeated dog hits the fence became not so tight. Crinkled in 6 spots and job done. Plenty of places left for more crinkles. Must have taken at least 5 minutes!!!
Should of bought these earlier, way better than what came with the kit.
As easy to use as advertised. I was able to retighten a wire fence following a tree falling on it with 5 minutes work. Much easier than cutting and rejoining and cheaper as well.
We purchased a Strainex Wire Strainer and we wish we purchased one a lot sooner. It makes tensioning a barb wire fence a breeze. There is no guess work either with the spring gauge to achieve the correct tension. The Strainex Wire Stainer is a great investment for any farmer, fencer etc.
The StrainX JTG kit arrived promptly and is a well thought out and easy to use piece of kit. My old strainer was slipping and was a pain to use, now using the new one ,quick ,no slip and easy to get the right tension
Absolutely top quality and a pleasure to use.
