Fencing tools help deliver better, faster results

The Wizard Contractor wire strainer and Gripple Contractor tensioning tool being used by Waratah's fencing expert Neville Prince. Ever wondered how your fencing contractor achieves that professional finish in good time? The answer may be in the tools he uses.

Fencing materials manufacturer Waratah has released two new fencing tools designed to increase speed and ease-of-use when tensioning wire across a wide range of applications.

The Wizard Contractor wire strainer and Gripple Contractor tensioning tool are the two new products that Waratah’s fencing expert Neville Prince swears by.

“When using the Contractor wire strainer for the first time, there was noticeably less effort needed to strain the same load when compared to ordinary strainers,” Nev said.

“These savings in effort really add-up over a big job, and in the end, that means that you can get the job done faster and to a higher standard.”

“It’s a heavy duty strainer that handles bigger fences and all types of pre-fabricated products that require larger strain loads.”

With a 720mm steel handle, the Wizard Contractor wire strainer has increased leverage that can apply the same load to almost any fencing application with 30 percent less physical effort, when compared with a standard wire strainer.

For existing fences and day-to-day maintenance, the Gripple Contractor tensioning tool is a durable and user-friendly tool for use with Waratah’s Gripple series of fencing products to join and tension short strains of wire.

The Wizard Contractor wire strainer has increased leverage that can apply the same load to almost any fencing application with 30pc less physical effort.“Unlike the standard plastic Gripple tensioning tool, the Contractor model is made from steel. It has longer handles and a geared head, which provide greater leverage,” Nev said.

“It also has a quick-release jaw that allows the user to grab or release the wire without the need to operate the handles, and the quick-release setting key lets the operator position the Gripple correctly before applying tension, increasing the ease of operation.

“For knocking over those small fencing jobs faster while doing a quality job, the upgraded steel Gripple tensioning tool is great to have on hand,” he said.

As with all Waratah products, the Wizard Contractor wire strainer and tensioning tool are both designed and manufactured for Australian conditions.
