fantastic piece of equipment I have done alot of mesh fence with the westender its is quick and easy

Thanks for leaving the reviews Steven. It a great help to us. Cheeers, Ian
It's a game changer.
I bought a whites rural strainer board. I got 3 strains out of it before it started to slip on the galmax netting. It gave me the sh!ts so decided to try a wireman board. Spoke to Ian (great guy easy to talk to) and picked his brain and asked about other companies stuff in comparison to wireman. Was also happy that he choose not to rubbish talk other companies to get a sale. Went away and called back a couple days later and purchased the west ender. Best thing I did. Very happy with them and wireman’s professionalism. Highly recommended.
Thanks for taking the time to leave the review Stuart. We appreciate the support and are pleased the West Ender is making things easier for you . Cheers, Ian
The rubber on the Jack the grippers made to difficult to attach the wire!! But was a pretty good experience all the same!!!
And the small pins in the joiners of the two sections are a bit small and difficult to us., but was not to bad all the same
We've been using a West Ender strainer board for quite a while and recently bought a second. Both the older and new units are excellent. We have other strainer boards also, but always grab a West Ender as first choice because it's easier to use in several respects (putting on and removing once the job is done, gripping the wire, allows for the release of individual line wires which is occasionally an advantage) and importantly two units can be joined together for use on 1.8m high mesh. We no longer have slipping issues. The second version is an improvement because the orientation on the handles on the grippers is more user friendly - well done designers! We often use a couple of consecutive strainer boards for going around bends in a fence line without the need to cut the mesh and tie off twice. Very solidly built and great all round!
Even better than I thought it would be.
Thanks again for your support over the years Nick, you have been a great help to Wireman. Cheers, Ian
Strong. Very easily adjustable for different meshes. Easy to position on the mesh. Does have a bit of an issue with the grippers tending to slip on the looser wires though, especially when straining old stretched mesh. Tighter wires can be tied off first and then released before tightening looser ones to compensate for any slippage, thanks to the unique individual clamping mechanisim. Overall good product
How does that price compare to a turn buckle . It's seems high
Found it easy to use , although missing some sought of detent to lock the clamps in place on the board
The best thing that I have ever brought, worth every penny.
Fantastic time saving product. So easy to adjust for different stock net styles. Easy to use product that works
Looks good haven’t used it yet

Love this add on. Really speeds up the fencing. fautless.
From the first time I used the Jack the Gripper rabbit ears I knew I was on a winner. they make it so easy to strain and join wire , no realigning or losing grip like the old ones. So easy to use, makes fencing almost enjoyable.
Great design easy and trouble free to use great purchase
Strainers
Arrived in Scotland within a week of ordering. Easy to use makes a tidy job. Can now leave anyone to tie off wire and the standard is consistent. Ideal for doing rylock wire even getting in the bottom smallest square with ease. Made a TikTok video thats generated alot of interest and now some french buggers stole my video. 😂 Some say it looks slower but in my eyes the tool will be a constant speed all day long where as my hands slow down and suffer after alot of tie offs. Overall delighted with it.

Hi to all .
Having both types of wire strainers/grippers the rabbit ear type are by far the easiest to use , I personally wouldn’t buy the normal type compared to the rabbit ear type simply for ease of use of the rabbit ear type
Very quick to apply the wires to the PickeX
Pole Star extenders.
Great product
Very happy with it
Better for this task than anything Ive used before
Top notch service and Product from Wireman once again!
Fast and easy way to fix gaps under fences. Good quality product and fantastic service from the team- always prompt responses
Recently made this purchase and extremely happy with product, so much easier to use then traditional strainers for a novice like me, grippers hold good too so no stuffing around when on your own trying to keep it all together, highly recommend. Also turned up quick and some after service was easy and very helpful, thanks 👍
It was great to talk to Ian. Worked the problem with no problem
This is another one of Wireman's clever gadgets. Makes attaching the wires a breeze. Bonus is, that you can stay on the same side the mesh is attached to, especially handy if your neighbour's property is on the other side.
