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.

Good product
Absolutely love it! A bit finicky to set up but gives a really nice even strain with no loose wires!
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!

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!!!
