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.

I grabbed a couple of these to see how good they are ,and l wasn’t disappointed they are quite sturdy and expect they will do the job perfectly,I have them in my toolbox for a one of these days job. I have used other similar ones but they were very weak and flimsy and bent when tension was applied, these I can almost guarantee will fit the bill, great to have a few on hand for when needed. Delivery and packaging was fast and secure.
Good job guys & girls well done
Fantasic works good saved a fair bit of work

StraineX JTG Kit
Being new to fencing and researching lots of content on the subject, I was drawn to Wireman's gear. I was unsure to which strainer board and strainers to go for so I reached out to Ian. It's quite clear he is very passionate about fencing. After discussing our situation with undulating ground, Ian suggested the East Ender strainer board and two StraineX wire strainers, which we purchased. The strainer board and strainers are very well made and worked an absolute treat, the digital scales are great for novices that aren't sure how much to tension a fence up to. Once the Jack the Grippers are fitted to the wire they will not slide off and doesn't cause any damage to the wire. Having the strainers at the top and bottom of the strainer board was perfect to get an even strain on the hilly ground we have.Thank you Ian for a great product and really appreciate your friendly no obligation advice. We will be happy to purchase again from you if needed.

Excellent product enabled me to raise the height of my fence to outsmart an energetic border collie who loves going where he shouldn’t..delivery was quick and packaged securely, l have no reservations of using this company in the future.. well done girls &guys.
Very happy with the product and its capabilities. Very well designed for its intended purpose. Would highly recommend.
Worked perfectly to extend star pickets to hold up conduit frame to support bird netting on the chicken coop.
Excellent service from these guys and fast response and delivery times, products are well made and fit for purpose. I will continue purchasing from these guys as their gear is great and well priced.
Well done girls & guys 👍
