FENSMILE Electric Fence Wire Strainers 20-Pack — Aluminum Ratchet Tensioners with Removable Handle for Poly Tape & Wire

FENSMILE 20PCS Electric Fence Wire Strainers are aluminum-alloy ratchet tensioners that let you quickly and securely tighten electric fence wire, poly tape, and rope with a removable handle for leverage.

When building, repairing, or managing an electric perimeter, reliable tensioners speed installation and keep conductors taught. These ratchet-style wire strainers are cast from aluminum alloy for long-term durability, feature a locking frame to stop unintentional unwinding, and accommodate steel or poly conductors up to 1-1/2" wide. Supplied as a 20-piece set plus one removable handle, they’re sized and shaped for temporary fencing, rotational grazing, or routine maintenance of managed pastures.

How do these strainers save time during fence installation?

The ratchet mechanism allows small, controlled increments of tension so one person can tension long runs without repeated re-threading. The removable handle plugs into the ratchet for mechanical advantage and detaches for compact storage. Built-in features minimize fiddly adjustments and reduce the number of trips along the fence line.

• Ratchet teeth give precise, incremental tightening for faster setup
• Removable handle creates leverage and stores separately
• Insulated loop on top speeds conductor insertion
• 20 strainers included lets you outfit many spans at once

Which wire types and sizes are compatible with these ratchets?

These strainers accept a broad range of conductors: steel and aluminum wire, poly wire, poly tape up to 1-1/2" wide, and most poly rope. The design holds different cross-sections securely while preventing slippage, so you can use the same tool for mixed fencing systems on the same property.

• Works with steel and aluminum fence wire
• Fits poly tape up to 1-1/2" wide
• Compatible with poly ropes used in temporary fences
• Insulated entry loop protects coating during insertion

How durable and safe are these ratchet tensioners outdoors?

Casts of aluminum alloy give a balance of light weight and corrosion resistance for long service life in outdoor conditions. The locking frame prevents the tooth wheel from turning once tensioned, reducing the chance of accidental release. Because the top loop is insulated, it protects non-metallic conductors during installation.

• Aluminum-alloy construction resists rust and reduces weight
• Locking frame prevents unintended unwinding
• Insulated loop prevents abrasion or damage to poly tape/rope
• Quality control backed by replacement guarantee

What comes in the package and how do I use the handle?

The kit contains 20 ratchet wire strainers and one removable handle. Thread the conductor through the insulated loop, engage it in the ratchet wheel, insert the handle, then rotate to tension. When finished, lock the frame to secure the setting and remove the handle for storage or to use on the next strainer.

• 20 ratchet strainers and 1 detachable handle included
• Simple thread-through installation using the top insulated loop
• Use handle for leverage, then lock the frame and remove handle
• Replacement available if any items arrive faulty

Who is this for: These FENSMILE ratchet wire strainers are intended for farmers, ranchers, fencing contractors, and land managers who need a reliable, economical way to tension electric fences, temporary enclosures, or managed grazing systems. The kit is practical for anyone installing multiple spans or maintaining mixed-material fences and who prefers a durable, easy-to-use ratchet system with a single spare handle for repeated use.
