Never before has there been a way to tension manufactured netting such as horse mesh or hinge lock with such speed and ease of use.
- Tension wire mesh up to 1450mm Wide (57")
- Can be on or off the wire in under 15 seconds
- Minimal bend applied to the wire
- Little tension reduction after removing from wire
- Only puts as much force on the wire as you apply to the strain
- NO HAMMER NEEDED!
Now with Toggle Pre-Clamps - position the Viceman where you want it and lock it in position before you start the strain.

The Vice man from down under has made it again! The Viceman 1,5m are incomparable lightweight and easy to handle. Even though very strong and durable. Best strainers ever!

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.
Handy in the fact it can be used on various strainers
Bought the Wireman Crinkler to tension up my exclusion wire. It performed exactly as expected. Super easy and straight forward to use. I had some loss of wire tension from fence repairs and damage from machinery. Highly recommend.
I’d always dreamed of having a top-quality wire strainer. Sturdy, reliable, versatile and very easy to use. Wireman’s equipment is really robust and lets you do a brilliant job.
I tried a wire strainer in the United States, but it’s no match for Wireman’s equipment.
Australian farmers and fence builder are so lucky.
So, a big thank you.
Fast and effective
I can’t believe how easy the BOBEX system is to use.
I’ve tensioned up 25 barbed wires on our security fences within 30mins. Sooo easy.
Thank you for your fast delivery its sturdy and strong very happy would definitely recommend
Too easy

Good product
Absolutely love it! A bit finicky to set up but gives a really nice even strain with no loose wires!
I am fortunate to have found Wireman Fencing Equipment - after watching some of the "Farm Learning with Tim Thompson" videos. Now, I am hooked on their extremely well designed products, and I am blown away by the quality and presentation. My first order were products for fence extensions, my second order was the Strain Walker Classic - Rabbit Ears. This must be the best designed, heavy duty fencing wire strainer - ever. I love that this unit can easily be taken apart, and be used for different chores - in tighter spots. I love the stainless steel chain and fittings. My biggest respect goes to Ian and Fraser, and everyone involved in manufacturing.
