The new and improved full stainless steel IOWA DeBarber now with stainless steel retaining screws for extra long life. Please CLICK HERE if you want to remove barbs from 1.57mm High Tensile (Gaucho) Barbed wire.
The tool works well and is proving useful in the field. However, one of the screws that holds the 2 halves together has backed out and I am unable to find it. Maybe some thread locker could be added. Otherwise, the tool is great, and I will continue to use it for future jobs.
G'day Buddy,
Thanks for your review.
We will send you out a couple of replacent screws for the DeBarber.

It didn't work as well as I hoped it would.
G'day Tommy,
Thanks for your feedback. The Debarber does take a little bit of getting used to and it is important to have the individual barbs standing up fairly straight before unwinding them. In our experience with practise it is much easier to use that pliers.
However, If you would lilke a full refund (including the psotage) for the Debarber please just send it to Wireman - PO Box 560, MILSONS POINT, NSW, 1565 AUSTRALIA and include you full name and address on or in the parcel.
Regards,
Ian
Used it for the first time today and I was pretty amazed at how quick and easy it was to use, highly recommend it, great investment
Great tool easy to use
Have some fencing to replace due to a
Fire and didn’t like the idea of tying knots in barb. Purchased this and after a few quick attempts it works incredibly well. Not put off by using barb now. Solidly built and well made, highly recommend well done guys
Let customers speak for us
from 189 reviewsThis is a Super easy to use strainer! First strainer I've used and fence I've put up but man this makes it easy. Gauge takes out all the guess work and the small increment movement of the ratchet helps get the strain spot on. Very happy as I've got kilometres of fencing to go and I'm not going to be fighting the strainer
Strained JTG works well. Used fixing fence on old barb wire. Well built wire clamps hold tight and do not bruise the wire. A little heavy but not a problem. Also used as come along replacing old cable type Power Pull.Might be useful during calving season.

Great product & fast shipping
I think I should of got the clamp type gauge when you tension the wire then release it you don’t know the tension. Don’t get me wrong it works ok just chose the wrong gauge.
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!
Great quality made tools with exceptional customer service.. highly recommend
Absolute brilliant worked perfectly
Money well spent
Great bit of kit. I was never comfortable using my Strainrite tensioner - the clamp that grips the wire is prone to slip, and I’ve had high tensile wire break loose under tension and fly past my face more times than I care to mention. Serious injury avoided luckily.
The StraineX kit is infinitely better - the grip is spot-on and the ratchet allows precise tensioning. Many times with the traditional strainers I’d struggle to get the correct tension - with the StraineX it’s really easy. Thoroughly recommend this tool.
Great service. Delivered without issue. Had a query and they gave advice immediately.
I thought it would be good , but it's much better than good . Love it . Easy to use , doesn't slip , and tough . Recon it will take all the abuse I can give. As a contractor my gear gets used alot. I can see it lasting a long time.
I will never buy another brand of strainers again. They are robust and easy to use, the inbuilt tension gauge is great for on-boarding new staff. Quick and easy to hook up to the wires. Best strainers I’ve ever used.
Very easy to use, high end build quality, and faster than older fence strainers. Love the product!
simple and quick to install & quick delivery
Bit like going from the old hand rammer to the air rammer
You think how much easier is this
Same with the strainer board , makes fencing a lot more enjoyable
Simple an easy to use
