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
It was great to talk to Ian. Worked the problem with no problem
Should of bought these earlier, way better than what came with the kit.
I have fitted two Jack The Grippers to a Wireman wire strainer and the difference was amazing. The change was as good as when sliced bread hit the market. No longer were my fingers getting tangled in the wire and the lock on and release of the grippers from the wire being strained was truly first rate and done with ease.

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 👍

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.
How good is it that these guys use Australian Manufacturing.......Rock on Wireman👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I felt like I was taking a bit of a chance with buying the strainex and rabbit ears, but, I couldn’t be happier with them. They’re very safe and easy to use and fit right in with my work smarter, not harder philosophy. They’re great products!
StraineX Wire Strainer - (full kit) Digital Gauge
Shipping and delivery was super quick.
Pack came secured and picket extensions saved me time and money. Great quality. Thank you.
Awesome..... I'm not a professional fencing contractor, but a small property owner self-taught with help from Tim Thompson's youtube clips. Have been looking for quality Australian tools and I found them in Wireman Products.
I purchased the StraineX as well as the Viceman stainer board with spreader bar & yoke to help me repair and install new fencing on my property, I couldn't be happier after making do with a Hayes chain strainer, bits & pieces I welded up.
Love the fact the gear is here in Australia and also supporting local manufacturers excellent work fellas, I'll be directing people straight to Wireman.
The Viceman 1m strainer board is a very cleverly designed product.
It replaces the clamp strainer board I had been using, since I ended up with enormous kinks in my Waratah Stocktite hinge joint. It is so much easier to use, not having to hammer in the clamps.
