We imported a pair of these to England earlier this year. Used on both high tensile plain and 2.0mm barbed wire. Can not fault, as Tim says very fast to work with. Can easily strain up long pulls.
i have a set of the fenceline solutions wire strainers & after using for a couple of year I would have to say best strainers I've ever owned, get plus is they are made right here
Hi Tim. Yet another great informative video. 👍👍 Keep them coming. Is this there older version. Love the wireman products too but now getting hard to which one to buy for all of my needs. 😢
I bought a set of these strainers after watching your video a while back. It was the best money I spent when it came to fencing. I still have my Hayes strainers, however my Fenceline Solution strainers are my new favourite.. I would highly recommend them.. Another great video clip Tim. Well done.. Ps. Tim, have you thought of looking at Elgra percussion drivers as a possible video clip?
I like some of the stuff you say but I was a contractor and erected over 400 kms of farm fencing, mostly galvanised steel posts, ringlock and barb. Also about 30 kms of pine posts and ringlock. I used a short post donger and never hurt myself once. If you can't erect posts by yourself in a straight line w/o a guide wire on the ground there's something wrong with your sighting skill. I employed one other bloke to help me and I was probably the first person to use hand held two way radios and binoculars with sighting over distance. On a good day and in good country like sandplain we'd put up a kilometre of 6 line ringlock, 2 barb and three posts to the chain, strainers and box sections. On a bad day in heavy clay, gravel or limestone we'd just dream of the good days. 😭😭
Just a safety note when putting things under high load you could use a cable dampener like in 4 we recovery it will stop the wire from just going anywhere and drag it to the ground Keep up the great work Thanks
Thanks mate. Yep, I have used that technique on end assembly testing. On the rig, the scales are quite sensitive and the keyboard warriors would have a field day about bias, inaccuracy, etc etc. I just wear some speed dealrers and the frame and handle distance keep me safe... ish Cheers mate.
I Have an old set pretty good. However I reversed the chain grip end to make it easier to undo and attach, I had to reverse the spring. So on this new one you need to reverse the straining end so the release grip points to the ground the same as the chain grip end. This way you don't have to reach over the fence to release the grip or to attach it. It makes it easier on old fences with broken wires down low or hinge joint netting. Hope you understand what l am talking about.
I have always overlooked these as too expensive and gone with the liked of stranite and hayes. Having watched this, i can see a fair few design improvements to warrant the money.
Awesome video as always Tim. Being a small hobby farm and a rescue animal shelter, I wish I could afford these. Are there any others that you would recommend that aren't as dear?
I looked for a strainer but couldnt find one in any farm supply stores in my area of SE Ky. and SW Va. I tried three big box stores and a local hardware store. People in SE Ky and nearby Virginia are just now getting Hair sheep to raise for lamb meat. I guess they just do not use strainers yet. One co. sells what looks to be like a wire grip, but there is no handle or chains attached to it. The store clerks cannot tell me what they are for. I guess you just put the grip on, then pull with a ratchet. But that seems a bit dangerous. Maybe they are for weld wire, not bottom and top wire.
Hi Andrea. I’m supported by both companies so I’m not going to go beyond a fair evaluation of each. In fact, I rarely rank products against others. I’m looking at the wireman update in a few weeks.
If you only use them a couple times a year, then buy the strainers made in China. If they are a daily tool, as part of earning your living then they are worth every dollar😉
Tim something to add is they will slip over time- this means they are worn out. Unlike the riveted SE Asia made ones which are throw always, Fenceline solutions will sell you new jaws to extend the life strainer

Good morning, Tim, you got me at the grappling hook and the chain without the hook. Looks like a need a new set of strainers, Cheers
Amazing kit wish I had those strainers in my vineyard trellis building days.
Yeah, they’re pretty special.

Do you have a discount code or can you send me one to test drive. Cheers keep up great information videos

There are a range on the market. My tip is to look for quality of pins and joints. The slacker the worse.

Hi Greta. Check out the US price on their website.
I will. I wondered if they sold in the U.S.
maybe throw a weighted bag or wet towel over the wire so it doesnt rip you head off when it breaks
Are Fenceline Solutions accepting trade in’s
How does fenceline solutions strainers stack up to wireman strainers?
Hi Andrea. I’m supported by both companies so I’m not going to go beyond a fair evaluation of each. In fact, I rarely rank products against others. I’m looking at the wireman update in a few weeks.
@@FarmLearningTim ok
@@FarmLearningTim both are very similar in design
@@andreabond3501 different in the grips and joints
I have a couple of each
Most recently purchased another wireman which should tell ya which one I think is better
Safety glasses grrrrrr - looool, what happened to the speed dealers looooooool ?????
Certainly some upgrades here vs my ancient hayes strainers.
I'd love one but $495 for one is ridiculous.
People who buy Ryobi drills instead of Milwaukee say exactly the same.
Hand made in Australia adds 100-% to the price.

One of the best investments I’ve made on the farm, they’re absolutely outstanding.
