Description

CONTRACTOR CHAIN STRAINER – RX2 STRAINRITE

The CONTRACTOR CHAIN STRAINER – RX2 STRAINRITE is a professional-grade fencing tool designed for tensioning and straining wire in rural, agricultural and commercial fence construction. Correct wire tension is critical to effective fence performance — a properly tensioned fence line resists animal pressure, maintains its shape over time and significantly reduces the need for ongoing maintenance.

This wire strainer is built for the demands of real fencing work in Australian conditions. Whether you are straining plain wire, barbed wire, hinge joint mesh or high-tensile fencing wire, having the right tensioning tool makes the job faster, safer and produces a cleaner result than improvised methods.

Why Choose the RX2 Strainrite Chain Strainer?

First and foremost, the Strainrite RX2 is designed for repeated, heavy-duty use in professional fencing environments. Furthermore, its robust ratchet mechanism allows a single operator to apply consistent, even tension across long wire runs without additional tools. As a result, you achieve a correctly tensioned fence line that holds firm against livestock pressure and environmental movement. According to the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, correctly tensioned fencing is essential for effective livestock containment and rural property management.

Tips for Using a Chain Strainer Safely

Before tensioning your fence wire, inspect both the chain strainer and the anchor post for any damage or wear. Then, attach the strainer to a solid post or anchor point and engage the ratchet mechanism gradually. In addition, wear appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves and eye protection, as tensioned wire can spring back unexpectedly. Finally, release tension slowly and in a controlled manner once the desired wire tension is achieved to prevent sudden wire movement.
