In-line wire strainer for tensioning barbed, plain and high tensile wire.

  • Works well on hinged lock and net fencing
  • No need to cut the wire
  • Use with 3/8th square drive or 18mm socket or spanner
  • Works as a joiner
  • 15 mm shortening distance per revolution
  • Removable and re-useable
  • Can be used on electric braid wire, cable or even rope

With BobeX you can strain sections as short as 100mm or 4 inches and you won’t need any special tools either, as a 3/8th square drive, an 18mm socket or a spanner can be used to get tension.

No chain strainers? No problem! Keep a few BOBEX in the glove box, you never know when you might need them.

Probably works well on most wire but for equi mesh fiend fence it doesn't fit in the 50mm gaps and won't work with upright wire in middle of tool!!

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

Not just for tightening loose wire

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!
