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.

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!

Having never fenced before, I had no equipment so this kit was perfect. We have completed 2 fences since this kit arrived and for a complete beginner it was a breeze. All parts are extremely high quality and easy to use. Highly recommend to anyone

Very quick delivery - good product

StraineX Wire Strainer - (Full Kit) Spring Gauge

I have only used this on a few jobs so far fixing damaged hinge lock and i it worked well. I handed it to my 76 yr old mum and she could use it . Does what it says it does

Great product. I have been using it now for over a month and it has saved me so much time. Once you get the hang of it you just fly through debarbing process. since dad passed away the fencing had been run down on the farm and i use this on every repair job. I Will buy a second one as a back up. I rate this product highly.

I just underwent a reasonable fencing job, 2/1/2 months straight, and due to Angus cattle, I'm all about barb wire and a set of strainers. Bobex however, offered a solution to a dilemma I was facing, "Short runs". I've integrated it as a system for all the farms short runs now. This has allowed me the ability to set up traps for my cattle, so that I can cut them off and stop them running me in circles! Why Bobex instead of ratchet tensioners? Typically, ratchet tensioners are wired up with plain wire, leaving a spot for asses to scratch. With Bobex, it's barb everywhere, leaving no where for an ass to rub! You give an inch, they take a mile. This removes all the inches.

The best chain strainers we ever saw! So very well manufactured with super precision and clever construction from the smallest details to surface treatment and delivered with very practical carrying bags. The tools from Wireman has improved the quality of our fencing and also made the work more fun and easy!

PickeX Pole Star 600s used to extend picket fence height around house and gardens. 1.8 m with barbed wire at top and two strands of plain wire at 0.13 and 0.23 m from top. 90 x 0.05 x 0.001 m mesh hung from lower strand. Pig fence and rabbit-proof ing already there. The Wireman 600 extenders of which I used 100 are brilliant, easy to use and solid. Bennett wallabies can’t get over/ through this and I’ve seen them try.

Easy to use, strain gauge makes tensioning correctly easy, ratchet make small adjustments possible as well. Built to last a lifetime.

It is a great tool and would recommend to anyone that is looking for a set

great product easy to use.

SIMPLE AND EASY TO USE

Tension Gauge - Spring

I bought two of there to replace the grippers on my old strainers. They were easy to attach and work beautifully. I've used the old grippers to make my version of a Texas fence tensioner which also works beautifully!

I have used contractor strainers over the years but was always aware of releasing the tension in a safe manner especially in tight locations. The StraineX Wire Strainers take the concerns away. Not only are they built tough and reliable, I think the safety element of them far surpasses other models. Highly recommended.
