Fixum Chain Link Fence Stretcher Tool — Fits 2-3/8 in OD Posts, 9 in Pull Range, Single-Person Tensioner

The Fixum Chain Link Fence Stretcher is a single-person wire puller and tensioning tool that clamps to 2-3/8" OD terminal or gate posts to stretch and hold chain-link or woven wire panels with up to a 9-inch pull.

When installing or repairing chain-link and woven-wire fence panels, consistent tension and safe, controlled pulling make the job faster and neater. This compact tensioner mounts to standard terminal posts, locks the wire under load so one person can tie bands or secure fittings, and gives strong mechanical leverage in a durable corrosion-resistant design.

How does this tool make fence installation easier?

The Fixum stretcher replaces awkward manual pulling and unreliable helpers by anchoring directly to the terminal post and hooking the tension bar. Its self-locking linkage holds the wire in position so you can work hands-free to fasten tension bands or staples, reducing time and improving alignment.

• Self-locking linkage secures tension so both hands are free.
• 9" defined pull range gives repeatable adjustments.
• Long lever arm multiplies force for easier stretching.
• Fits standard 2-3/8" OD terminal and gate posts.

Can one person use it safely and accurately?

Yes — the tool is designed for single-operator use with a lock-in mechanism that maintains tension without constant hand pressure. The swing arc and C-slot style hook let you engage quickly and align panels precisely while the rubber grip protects your hand and improves control.

• Self-holding action frees hands for tying and fastening.
• 0–140° swing arc adapts to different panel positions.
• Soft, slip-resistant handle allows use with gloves.
• Non-marring contact edges help preserve galvanized finishes.

What sizes and materials does this stretcher work with?

The Fixum stretcher is made for chain-link and woven-wire fence tensioning and fits posts with a 2.3–2.44" inner ring diameter range, which accommodates common 2-3/8" OD terminal and gate posts. It’s built from powder-coated steel with zinc hardware for jobsite durability and weather resistance.

• Ring inside diameter: 2.44" to fit 2-3/8" OD posts.
• Overall length 17" with a 12" handle for leverage.
• 9" pull range for controlled alignment of panels.
• Powder-coated steel and zinc-plated parts resist corrosion.

What should I know about safe use and limitations?

The tool is intended to stretch and hold fence fabric while you secure hardware; it is not a heavy post puller or a retractable winch. Use proper personal protective equipment, work within the tool’s rated pull range, and pair two units for wider panels if needed to distribute force evenly.

• Not designed as a post-pulling device or a retractable winch.
• Wear gloves and eye protection during use.
• One stretcher covers panels up to about 4 ft; use two for panels up to roughly 8 ft.
• Soft contact edges reduce risk of scratching post finishes.

Who is this for? Landscapers, fencing contractors, ranchers, and DIY homeowners who install or repair chain-link or woven-wire fencing and want a compact, single-operator tensioning tool will value the Fixum stretcher. It’s particularly useful on small-to-medium panel runs, gate frame installs, and repair jobs where a reliable, corrosion-resistant device speeds work and improves the quality of the finished fence.
