RATCHET STRAINER PERMANENT END GALLAGHER G79504 at a glance

Ratchet style wire strainer

Versatile use: traditionally for end of line straining or for in-line straining by threading wire through strainer instead of tying an extra knot.

OVERVIEW:

Versatile:
Can be used for end of line and in line straining.

Durable:
Robust, high-quality spring-loaded locking clip with long life galvanised steel frame.

Easy to use:
12 tooth spools for fine adjustment and easy tightening action. Tighten with Gallagher Strainer Handle (G69530) frame.

Increased Durability:
Increased coining and spine height improves the strength of the strainer, reducing the risk of the frame splaying.

Increased Reliability:
Increased spool radius reduces the risk of wires breaking. This extra strength accommodates up to 4mm 8-gauge fence wire

Install the ratchet strainer at the end of your electric fence line where you need permanent tension adjustment. Thread the wire through the strainer head and secure it firmly to your end post using the galvanized brackets provided. Tighten the ratchet mechanism gradually until you've got consistent tension across the fence—don't over-tighten on the first go or you'll snap the wire. Check the tension weekly in hot weather, as wire expands and contracts with temperature changes. Tips: Keep the ratchet mechanism clean and free from rust by wiping it down monthly, especially after rain—salt air near the coast will corrode it faster than you'd think. Always tension your fence evenly along the whole run before tightening the strainer, otherwise you'll just be pulling slack from one section into another. In Queensland heat, leave a tiny bit of slack initially because the wire will expand and you'll need room to take up that extra tension later.
