It's deliberately slimmer than the 27mm Standard model — sized for frequent contractor use, where the tool is in your hand all day rather than now and then. It ships ready to work, with the 1.2m (47\") chain and grab assembly and the spring kit already installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnderneath the size difference it's the same proven NZ-made chain strainer: heat-treated Spheroidal Graphite cast iron claws and grips, wear-resistant smooth-grip jaws that hold all common sizes of fence wire while minimising damage to the strand, and gold zinc plating throughout. It's the strainer contractors reach for in competitive fencing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSolid One-Piece 22mm (7\/8\") Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slimmer than the 27mm Standard handle — smaller in the hand, ideal for frequent and contractor use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Kit Installed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Guides the claws across the chain as you strain — fitted as standard on the FX2 (an optional extra on the Standard model).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSG Cast Iron Claws and Grips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heat-treated Spheroidal Graphite cast iron for a long service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWear-Resistant Smooth Grip Jaws:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hold all common sizes of fence wire while minimising wire damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImproved Casting Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Computer-designed geometry for effective grip on zinc and aluminium-coated fencing wire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold Zinc Plating Throughout:\u003c\/strong\u003e Increased corrosion protection across handle, chain and fittings, with heavy-duty rivets and a tested 1.2m chain with swivel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrainrite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid one-piece, 22mm (7\/8\") diameter, fixed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClaws \u0026amp; Grips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeat-treated Spheroidal Graphite cast iron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJaws\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWear-resistant smooth grip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.2m (47\") gold passivated chain and grab assembly with swivel, heavy-duty rivets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded, installed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGold zinc plated and passivated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWire Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll common fence wire sizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade In\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew Zealand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRange\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWire Tensioning — Chain Strainers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚠️ \u003cstrong\u003eThe chain and grab assembly is not designed to form a slip loop around a post.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all fencing tools at \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/fencing-hardware\"\u003eTools and Hardware\u003c\/a\u003e.
