Strainrite Wire Tension Tester

Achieve accurate, consistent fence wire tension with the Strainrite Wire Tension Tester. Designed for professional fencing contractors, farmers, rural property owners, and maintenance crews, this precision measuring tool provides fast, reliable wire tension readings, helping ensure stronger, longer-lasting fences while reducing the risk of wire damage.

Built with a rugged, compact design, the Strainrite Wire Tension Tester is simple to use and delivers instant, accurate tension measurements without the guesswork. As a result, you can tension fence wires to the correct specification, improving fence performance while extending the life of both the wire and supporting infrastructure.

Unlike estimating tension by feel, the Strainrite Wire Tension Tester provides clear, repeatable measurements using an easy-to-read calibrated scale. Consequently, every section of fence can be tensioned consistently, helping maintain professional standards across new installations, repairs, and ongoing maintenance.

The tester features an adjustable calibration system, allowing accuracy to be maintained over years of regular use. Furthermore, it is calibrated to measure the three most common fencing wire sizes—2.5 mm, 3.15 mm, and 4.0 mm—making it suitable for a wide variety of rural, agricultural, and commercial fencing applications.

With a measurement range from 50 kg to 340 kg, the Strainrite Wire Tension Tester provides the flexibility required for everything from standard farm fencing to high-tensile wire installations. Combined with its durable construction and compact size, it is an essential tool for anyone who values accuracy and professional results.
