Over-strain and you are pulling posts out of the ground or snapping wire at the crimps. Neither shows up until the damage is done.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Strainrite Wire Tension Tester MKII\u003c\/strong\u003e gives you an actual figure. Clip it on the wire, read the scale, strain to spec — instant, accurate readings from 50kg to 340kg (110–750 lb), calibrated for 2.5mm, 3.15mm and 4.0mm wire, so it covers 12.5, 10 and 8 gauge high-tensile from the one tool. Because it reads the wire itself, it works alongside whatever strainer is already on the fence. On a long high-tensile run where every wire should come up matched, that is the difference between a fence line that looks built and one that looks guessed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstant, Accurate Readings:\u003c\/strong\u003e An actual tension figure off the wire rather than a feel for it — no guesswork on the last wire of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree Wire Sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calibrated for 2.5mm (12.5 gauge), 3.15mm (10 gauge) and 4.0mm (8 gauge) wire — one tester for the whole fence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e50–340kg Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Covers everything from light polywire set-ups to fully strained high-tensile, on an easy-to-read scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalibration-Adjustable:\u003c\/strong\u003e Can be re-zeroed in the field so the reading stays true over years of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConsistent Tension Across the Run:\u003c\/strong\u003e Every wire strained to the same figure, first to last — the fence sits level instead of wandering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrevents Wire Damage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stops the damage that comes from pulling wire past spec: lifted posts, snapped crimps, broken wire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRugged, Compact Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lives in the fencing bag and takes the knocks.\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\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWire tension tester\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMKII\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalibrated For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5mm (12.5 ga), 3.15mm (10 ga), 4.0mm (8 ga) wire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRange\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50kg – 340kg (110 – 750 lb)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEasy-to-read, reads in kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalibration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdjustable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRugged, compact\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\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair it with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/strainrite-fx2-contractor-chain-strainer-fixed-handle\"\u003eStrainrite FX2 Contractor Chain Strainer\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/strainrite-standard-chain-strainer\"\u003eStandard Chain Strainer\u003c\/a\u003e.
