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.


Features

Mechanical Advantage for Wire Tensioning
Provides the leverage needed to tension 12.5 gauge hi-tensile wire to proper specification without overloading posts or anchors.

Chain Design for Incremental Tensioning
Work in controlled increments — tension the wire, lock off, make your connections, and release safely.

Secure Lock-Off
Holds tension while you work — no slipping, no sudden release, no lost tension mid-connection.

Compatible with Hi-Tensile Systems
Designed for use with 12.5 gauge hi-tensile wire and standard fence straining hardware.

Strainrite Quality
Built to Strainrite's standards for fence tools that hold up to real-world farm use.

Proper tension, proper fence — the Strainrite Standard Chain Strainer is the tool that makes the difference between a fence that holds for decades and one that sags by spring.

Great quality Ploybraid and good for about 4-5 years year round application with uv exposure.

This is my second purchase of the super 9 polybraid, and it sure won’t be the last. Compared to the other poly wire products I’ve used, this braid is so much more durable, easily visible to the livestock, and VERY conductive. The smooth braid is much smoother to reel in than the other poly wires I’ve used, and for almost a year I’ve been moving cows with this wire at least three days a week. Still going strong with no viable signs of wear. I highly recommend this product. 5 stars for sure

It is working great. Running on a deep cycle battery that drops to 50-60% in 4 days on electric netting. 8-10k volts on poly rope and 4-6k volts on the netting.

This Range Ward — Power Reel saves me so much time and headache. I wish I would have made this purchase years ago. Just attach it to your side by side and go. It's that simple.
