West Ender 1M Board Only
West Ender 1M Board Only
The rubber on the Jack the grippers made to difficult to attach the wire!! But was a pretty good experience all the same!!!
And the small pins in the joiners of the two sections are a bit small and difficult to us., but was not to bad all the same
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!
Even better than I thought it would be.
Thanks again for your support over the years Nick, you have been a great help to Wireman. Cheers, Ian
Strong. Very easily adjustable for different meshes. Easy to position on the mesh. Does have a bit of an issue with the grippers tending to slip on the looser wires though, especially when straining old stretched mesh. Tighter wires can be tied off first and then released before tightening looser ones to compensate for any slippage, thanks to the unique individual clamping mechanisim. Overall good product
How does that price compare to a turn buckle . It's seems high
Let customers speak for us
from 189 reviewsThis 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.

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.
Great service. Delivered without issue. Had a query and they gave advice immediately.
I thought it would be good , but it's much better than good . Love it . Easy to use , doesn't slip , and tough . Recon it will take all the abuse I can give. As a contractor my gear gets used alot. I can see it lasting a long time.
I will never buy another brand of strainers again. They are robust and easy to use, the inbuilt tension gauge is great for on-boarding new staff. Quick and easy to hook up to the wires. Best strainers I’ve ever used.
Very easy to use, high end build quality, and faster than older fence strainers. Love the product!
simple and quick to install & quick delivery
Bit like going from the old hand rammer to the air rammer
You think how much easier is this
Same with the strainer board , makes fencing a lot more enjoyable
Simple an easy to use
