What Farmco Recommends It For:
Farmco recommends the Waratah Wizard wire strainer for tensioning plain and barbed fence wire. It’s ideal for building and repairing fences around strainer posts. Plus, it works with the Wedgelock® clamp to strain prefabricated fencing.
Why It’s a Farmco Favourite:
It’s a Farmco favourite because this wire strainer grips wire securely for efficient, controlled tensioning. Additionally, the chain attaches firmly around the strainer post for a stable anchor. As a result, you get a reliable, hard-working tool for almost any fencing job.
A Wire Strainer That Grips and Holds
Tensioning fence wire by hand is tough, slow work. That’s why the Waratah Wizard wire strainer makes the job easier. It grips the wire securely, so it efficiently tensions both plain and barbed fence wire. Then the supplied 1.8m chain wraps firmly around the strainer post to anchor the tool. So you get a stable, controlled strain every time. As a result, your fence line ends up straight, tight, and professional.
Versatile for Different Fencing Jobs
One strainer, many uses. Because it works with the Wedgelock® clamp, you can also strain prefabricated fencing with ease. Meanwhile, the standard unit comes with a 1.8m chain for typical posts. However, if you’re tackling larger posts or longer strains, a 4.5m chain is available separately. So you can adapt the tool to suit the job in front of you. As a result, it handles everything from small repairs to bigger runs.
Built Tough for Serious Fencing
Fencing gear needs to be strong, and this strainer delivers. It offers a safe working load of 370kg, giving you confidence under tension. For fencing professionals, an upgraded contractor unit steps things up further. It features a longer 4.5m chain, a longer handle for 30% less effort, and a quick-change clamp for the Wedgelock®. So bigger jobs become faster and easier. As a result, you get a durable strainer built for real-world fencing.
