Great product. I have been using it now for over a month and it has saved me so much time. Once you get the hang of it you just fly through debarbing process. since dad passed away the fencing had been run down on the farm and i use this on every repair job. I Will buy a second one as a back up. I rate this product highly.
Very awkward to use, barbs dont fit in
Hi Ian
i just love all your fencing tools and tips
However the Debarber didn't full fill my expectations
This due however as the NZ barb is on a 45 Deg or less to line of wire
so barb tends to squash flat rather than untwist
No regrets on purchase and will try on different makes of barb
please let me know if i can demonstrate or help in your NZ market
Thanks again Rob
Have had success on normal barb but high tensile barb is limited success which is majority of my work. I wonder if I bought the right product for the job. Any feedback is appreciated. Richard.
Practice makes perfect.. maybe in instructions need to say that you need to turn it around to do the other side. But hubby loves it

StraineX Wire Strainer - (Full Kit) Spring Gauge

I have only used this on a few jobs so far fixing damaged hinge lock and i it worked well. I handed it to my 76 yr old mum and she could use it . Does what it says it does

I just underwent a reasonable fencing job, 2/1/2 months straight, and due to Angus cattle, I'm all about barb wire and a set of strainers. Bobex however, offered a solution to a dilemma I was facing, "Short runs". I've integrated it as a system for all the farms short runs now. This has allowed me the ability to set up traps for my cattle, so that I can cut them off and stop them running me in circles! Why Bobex instead of ratchet tensioners? Typically, ratchet tensioners are wired up with plain wire, leaving a spot for asses to scratch. With Bobex, it's barb everywhere, leaving no where for an ass to rub! You give an inch, they take a mile. This removes all the inches.

The best chain strainers we ever saw! So very well manufactured with super precision and clever construction from the smallest details to surface treatment and delivered with very practical carrying bags. The tools from Wireman has improved the quality of our fencing and also made the work more fun and easy!

PickeX Pole Star 600s used to extend picket fence height around house and gardens. 1.8 m with barbed wire at top and two strands of plain wire at 0.13 and 0.23 m from top. 90 x 0.05 x 0.001 m mesh hung from lower strand. Pig fence and rabbit-proof ing already there. The Wireman 600 extenders of which I used 100 are brilliant, easy to use and solid. Bennett wallabies can’t get over/ through this and I’ve seen them try.

Easy to use, strain gauge makes tensioning correctly easy, ratchet make small adjustments possible as well. Built to last a lifetime.

It is a great tool and would recommend to anyone that is looking for a set

great product easy to use.

SIMPLE AND EASY TO USE

Tension Gauge - Spring

I bought two of there to replace the grippers on my old strainers. They were easy to attach and work beautifully. I've used the old grippers to make my version of a Texas fence tensioner which also works beautifully!

I have used contractor strainers over the years but was always aware of releasing the tension in a safe manner especially in tight locations. The StraineX Wire Strainers take the concerns away. Not only are they built tough and reliable, I think the safety element of them far surpasses other models. Highly recommended.

👍

Of all the products out there as a 2nd “strainer for strainer boards I couldn’t go past it.
I already had a Strainex wire strainer kit and I absolutely love it.
