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.

I have just purchased a fence magician and I would like to say what a really well made tool it is.
Also four and a half days from Sydney to me in Wales uk is amazing service.
So thanks again and I will be watching for the next piece of kit that makes our job easier.

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!
Simple and easy to read , lm finding all your gear is really good
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
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!!!
Should of bought these earlier, way better than what came with the kit.
As easy to use as advertised. I was able to retighten a wire fence following a tree falling on it with 5 minutes work. Much easier than cutting and rejoining and cheaper as well.
We purchased a Strainex Wire Strainer and we wish we purchased one a lot sooner. It makes tensioning a barb wire fence a breeze. There is no guess work either with the spring gauge to achieve the correct tension. The Strainex Wire Stainer is a great investment for any farmer, fencer etc.
The StrainX JTG kit arrived promptly and is a well thought out and easy to use piece of kit. My old strainer was slipping and was a pain to use, now using the new one ,quick ,no slip and easy to get the right tension
Absolutely top quality and a pleasure to use.
So good it keeps getting pinched and I have to buy again!!
