Original KIWI Strainer Reviews

4.4 Rating 14 Reviews
Read Kencove Farm Fence, Inc Reviews

When installing high tensile wire, achieving proper tension is crucial to the performance and effectiveness of your fence. Strainers, like the Original KIWI Strainer, make tensioning wire easy.  
This strainer features a spring-loaded flap that catches each turn of the cog to ensure it remains safe and secure while increasing tension. Use a strainer handle to ratchet the cog and remove slack in the wire.
The hot-dipped galvanized strap along with the zinc cog makes for a long-lasting strainer that can handle years of weather and exposure to the elements. 
The Original KIWI Strainer is designed to be attached to high tensile wire via crimp sleeve. To install, simply slide a crimp sleeve onto the wire tail, loop the tail through the hole in the strainer strap, and join the wire back onto itself using the crimp sleeve. 
With decades of consistent performance and strength, this American-made strainer is a great choice for any high tensile fence. 
- Perfect for tensioning high tensile wire

Sadly a third of the order were bent. Not a great design. Will choose a different one next time.

Best for the money, but does fall apart sometimes when releasing, and a booger to repair

So far have had a problem with 2 coming apart while winding, believe that the universal handle cause the problem, but not sure why the strainer does not have some sort of retainer to keep the arms from bending out away from the spool, when this happens spool, locking arm and spring all come apart. Again I want to stress, I believe that the Universal Handel allowed the arms to come out while winding.
