Wireman Strainer Boards
West Ender product release
Wireman has just released the West Ender strainer board system. The West Ender design is a result of several years of making individual wire strainer boards and listening to the feedback from fencing contractors, who are looking for reliable tools that get the job done faster than anything else.
The great benefit to the contractor of the West Ender System over the East Ender is the ability to be able to change the gripper positions really quickly to suit different netting wire where the spacing of the line wires differs.
Problems with wedge clamp strainer boards
It has been our experience that most contractors share the same issues - Very few are satisfied with wedge clamp boards as they often slip or break prefabricated fence wire, such as hinged lock, STIFF STAY or X fence. You knock one wedge in and the others bounce out or they just wear out from repeated hammering.
These problems are only made worse if poor quality wire is provided. Few fencing contractors have room on the back of the truck for tools that are not in regular use, and they know full well going back to a job or having to get spare parts for a tool when your miles from town is a complete waste of time and money.
A big focus on time saving
As a result Strainer boards are a big focus for Wireman and we do all we can to produce the best tools available. Our products have a higher price point than other products on the market, however when that results in a user saving an hour a day in time, Wireman strainer boards pay for themselves very quickly.
Unlike wedge clamp boards, Wireman strainer boards only put as much force on the wire as you put in to tensioning it. There is virtually no bending of the wire so very little tension is lost when you release the board grippers and you can work from just one side of the fence.
The reason the West Ender boards are so quick to use is that you don't need tools to put them on the wire or, assemble or adjust them to suit different wire spacings. And you don't need different boards to do different mesh heights. So you get more done, in less time with less gear.
