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.
- Can be on or off the wire in under 30 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!

from 194 reviewsFence magician has cut an hour off or day splicing and terminating fabric. That time saved allows us to install more fence which has an impact on our bottom line. Great tool my crew loves it. It’s a must have in your toolbox.
Good product, swift delivery
Best strainers in our kit
I bought a whites rural strainer board. I got 3 strains out of it before it started to slip on the galmax netting. It gave me the sh!ts so decided to try a wireman board. Spoke to Ian (great guy easy to talk to) and picked his brain and asked about other companies stuff in comparison to wireman. Was also happy that he choose not to rubbish talk other companies to get a sale. Went away and called back a couple days later and purchased the west ender. Best thing I did. Very happy with them and wireman’s professionalism. Highly recommended.
I only brought 3 .I tried using 1 on high tensile wire.but I gave it away to hard to handle. Will try on some softer wire.
Over the last few weeks I've been setting up high-tensile fences and repairing quite a few strings of barbed wire. Using the StraineX strainer has been enjoyable compared to the run-of-the-mill strainers. It is FAR easier to set the grippers (this is a huge time saver for me) and the longer chain makes straining to the end post simple.
This is a Super easy to use strainer! First strainer I've used and fence I've put up but man this makes it easy. Gauge takes out all the guess work and the small increment movement of the ratchet helps get the strain spot on. Very happy as I've got kilometres of fencing to go and I'm not going to be fighting the strainer
Strained JTG works well. Used fixing fence on old barb wire. Well built wire clamps hold tight and do not bruise the wire. A little heavy but not a problem. Also used as come along replacing old cable type Power Pull.Might be useful during calving season.

Great product & fast shipping
I think I should of got the clamp type gauge when you tension the wire then release it you don’t know the tension. Don’t get me wrong it works ok just chose the wrong gauge.
We've been using a West Ender strainer board for quite a while and recently bought a second. Both the older and new units are excellent. We have other strainer boards also, but always grab a West Ender as first choice because it's easier to use in several respects (putting on and removing once the job is done, gripping the wire, allows for the release of individual line wires which is occasionally an advantage) and importantly two units can be joined together for use on 1.8m high mesh. We no longer have slipping issues. The second version is an improvement because the orientation on the handles on the grippers is more user friendly - well done designers! We often use a couple of consecutive strainer boards for going around bends in a fence line without the need to cut the mesh and tie off twice. Very solidly built and great all round!
Great quality made tools with exceptional customer service.. highly recommend
Absolute brilliant worked perfectly
Money well spent
Great bit of kit. I was never comfortable using my Strainrite tensioner - the clamp that grips the wire is prone to slip, and I’ve had high tensile wire break loose under tension and fly past my face more times than I care to mention. Serious injury avoided luckily.
The StraineX kit is infinitely better - the grip is spot-on and the ratchet allows precise tensioning. Many times with the traditional strainers I’d struggle to get the correct tension - with the StraineX it’s really easy. Thoroughly recommend this tool.
