Yeah not for me guys. I have Wireman strainers & they're amongst the best I've used. Been fencing with barbed wire for >40 years, and my wife pestered me into trying a barb remover. Dunno if its' just me. or the Waratah long life 2.0mm barb, but I've had very little success with it. I saw mixed reviews of these things online, so I wasn't too surprised but yeah. It's not for me anyway.
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
G'day Rob,
Thanks for your message. Apologies for the delay in responing to your feedback. Would greatly apreciate it if you could send me a picture of the barb in question to sales@wireman.com.au. I was in NZ last year for Mystery Creek and we are looking to make another visit next year. We will let you know when our itinery is confirmed. Regards, Ian
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.

We bought the 900 PickeX to attach to our house paddock as we have a huge deer problem here in the snowy mountains. They are super easy to attch, wires up no problem. Very happy with the speed of delivery, the how to videos and the whole product in general.
Really happy with my purchase, wish I brought them years ago works a treat
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.

Ordered the crinkler, straight out the box got stuck into tensioning the fences. What a bloody masterpiece, y’all are legends. Works like a charm, easy to use, good size to chuck in the Ute toolbox, good solid build and delivers the goods.
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.

I grabbed a couple of these to see how good they are ,and l wasn’t disappointed they are quite sturdy and expect they will do the job perfectly,I have them in my toolbox for a one of these days job. I have used other similar ones but they were very weak and flimsy and bent when tension was applied, these I can almost guarantee will fit the bill, great to have a few on hand for when needed. Delivery and packaging was fast and secure.
Good job guys & girls well done
Excellent product enabled me to raise the height of my fence to outsmart an energetic border collie who loves going where he shouldn’t..delivery was quick and packaged securely, l have no reservations of using this company in the future.. well done girls &guys.
Very happy with the product and its capabilities. Very well designed for its intended purpose. Would highly recommend.
Worked perfectly to extend star pickets to hold up conduit frame to support bird netting on the chicken coop.
Excellent service from these guys and fast response and delivery times, products are well made and fit for purpose. I will continue purchasing from these guys as their gear is great and well priced.
Well done girls & guys 👍
This is an amazing product, now could not imagine working without it.
Fantasic works good saved a fair bit of work
A very handy item. Obviously, it was designed by a perfectionist. Respect!!
Searching for ideas on how to build an exclusion fence, I came across this cleverly designed product.
