Excellent quality
Upon first few uses I have noticed the thread from the spring loaded chain lock handle is bent which means it is not much use to me until a repair or replacement part is sorted. Welding splatter on the various thread adjustments could be problematic over time. They are useful when working on your own pending overcoming these few issues noted.
G'day Cameron,
Thanks for your review.
Sorry to hear that you have had a problem with the PROP A WELD.
In terms of the weld spatter, I agree with you that it is an issue. Its why we put the Tee arm away from the clamp point. The only way to try avoid it is to only use the Prop A Weld to get a good tack on the two peices being welded then remove it as soon as possible. One person suggested we supply a leather cover for the tool which is not a bad idea.
With regard to the bent part, I think I know what the issue may be. However, If you can please send us a picture of the offending part and we will send you out a replacement or we can provide a full refund if thats what you would prefer.
Regards,
Ian

Having never fenced before, I had no equipment so this kit was perfect. We have completed 2 fences since this kit arrived and for a complete beginner it was a breeze. All parts are extremely high quality and easy to use. Highly recommend to anyone
Very quick delivery - good product
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
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.
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.
