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.

Had to buy a fitting to fit the wire tension gauge to hayes strainer, once fitted I have had no problem straining fencing wire to the correct tension.
I can’t believe how easy the BOBEX system is to use.
I’ve tensioned up 25 barbed wires on our security fences within 30mins. Sooo easy.
Thank you for your fast delivery its sturdy and strong very happy would definitely recommend

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!

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
