FAQs

What is the main purpose of this wire strainer chain tensioner?

Its main purpose is to help you effectively tension wire fencing by providing a secure way to pull and hold the wire taut before it is permanently fixed.

Does this product come with strainer clamps?

No, this product is a wire strainer chain tensioner and requires separate purchase of strainer clamps to be used effectively.

What is the length of the chain?

The chain is 6 meters long.

What types of hooks are included?

It includes a safety hook on one end and a grab hook on the other end.

Can I use this for tightening rope?

This tensioner is specifically designed for wire fencing and may not be suitable or safe for use with rope or other materials.

How do I store the tensioner to prevent damage?

Store the tensioner in a dry location and inspect it regularly for any signs of wear or damage before and after each use.

Troubleshooting

Tensioner not gripping wire securely.

Ensure the grab hook is properly engaged with the wire. Check that the wire is not damaged or too thin for the hook. Use in conjunction with strainer clamps for best results.

Chain seems too long for the job.

While the 6m chain offers versatility, for shorter runs, carefully manage the slack to avoid tangles. The primary function is tensioning, so the length is usually a benefit rather than a hindrance.

Difficulty achieving sufficient tension.

Ensure the anchor points are secure. Verify that strainer clamps are being used correctly to hold the wire while tension is applied. Check for any obstructions or binding in the mechanism.
