The Merlin is very easy to use and makes light work of tying off High tensile wire up to 3.15mm (8 Gauge). The tool has been specifically designed to be able to get into tight spots and tie off equine or horse mesh (also known as no climb), as well as exclusion netting and wallaby wire. It can also attach heavy duty woven barbed wire to posts.
The rotating head makes it easy to control. It does a nice tight wrap effortlessly, which is difficult to do by hand, especially in tight spots. On horse mesh the Merlin is an enormous time saver. We’ve had contractors tell us it’s reduced a single tie off of 13 line-wire, from 40 minutes down to 11 minutes. If you are doing 5 strains a day that's well over 2 hours saved, in a single day.
Typically thought, what contractors tell us is, even if it hasn’t saved time, it’s allowed them to work longer because the tying off is that much easier. And they’ve saved on joiners like gripples while getting more out of new employees, because it’s less of a problem to get them to tie off neatly.

Great customer service & support from Ian.
An awesome piece of equipment & engineering.
Takes majority of the hard work out of tying off fencing wire / mesh.
Highly recommended & works really well, especially in the tight places.
Love it. Awesome
Very happy with this product.
It makes things so much easier using this attachment from Wireman.
Brilliant.
Makes tieing and joining wires easier and saves the hands
I am very happy with the quality of the device, I bought just the head, and it fitted perfectly on my Makita drill. It took me about half a day to get used to operating the machine. Once I got used to using it, I use it all the time. No more shredded hands and every is very neat. It was delivered within two days which was great. I highly recommend this machine to anyone who does a lot of fencing.

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.
Exactly what I asked for 😀
If you’re a fence contractor. This tool is a must
I have used them on my property and now helping out a friend.
easy to install made a huge difference to old fences to raise the height
Very easy to use, no extra tool needed.
Its the old saying with the Crinkler. Why didnt I think of that. What a brilliant concept and product. So easy to use and first class tough quality that I can see lasting for years and years. Well done to Wireman and I would highly recommend this product to anyone else. Thats honest. I am a real person, not a machine. I bet a machine doesnt have slack wire fences. Well I did, But not now :)
Love the wire stariners from wire man, Have two of them now and would have no problem buying a third. Some bit of kit to have in the tool box. Easy to use and easy to remove from fence lines.

Excellent service and prompt delivery.
Used on two different brands of stars, clean fit to Waratah and a small amount of hammering to fit onto Stockpost. Coupled with Davo's Fencing Clips and Davo's Reel clips for an exclusion fence with a finished height of 2m.

So easy to use. An excellent option to create deer exclusion fencing without having to remove existing fences
thanks a great product saving heaps of time and effort .
We were changing the use of a section of our block and needed to raise the fence height to keep out deer and kangaroos. This product was effective and very easy to use.
