Strainrite Standard Chain Strainer

Tension Hi-Tensile Wire Properly — The Chain Strainer Built for Serious Fence Work

Getting the right tension in hi-tensile wire is one of the most critical steps in building a fence that holds its shape and stays effective for decades. Too loose and the wire sags; too tight and you risk breaking it or pulling out your anchor posts. The Strainrite Standard Chain Strainer gives you the mechanical advantage and control to tension hi-tensile wire to the correct specification — consistently, safely, and without overloading the system.

The chain design allows you to work in increments, lock off tension while you make connections, and release safely when the job is done. A fundamental tool for anyone building or repairing hi-tensile fence.
