The new Gallagher Heavy Duty Chain Strainer is here! Re-designed with ease of use in mind, the proven design has been improved with the inclusion of precision profile cut jaws for superior grip.

An extended handle reduces the operational effort required by up to 25%, while a swivel design delivers easy left and right handed operation.

This is a heavy duty product, which has been designed to stand the test of time.

Refined over decades, suitable for use with both plain and barbed wire 1.6 to 5mm in diameter

Precision profile cut jaws:
Deliver a superior grip while minimising damage to tensioned wire

Spring guided jaw and extended handle:
Fast and easy one handed leverage with up to 25% less effort required to operate

Swivel design:
Strainer swivels for easy left and right hand operation

Heavy duty:
Galvanised components, bright painted finish and user replaceable pins ensure long service life backed by a 10 year warranty

Mount the strainer to a corner or end post using the heavy-duty chain and fixing hardware provided, ensuring the post is solid and won't move under tension. Attach one end of your electric fence wire to the strainer's terminal, then wind the strainer handle to apply even tension across the wire—you want it tight enough to prevent sagging but not so tight it'll snap in hot weather. Once tensioned, secure the handle in place and test your fence with a voltmeter to confirm current is flowing through properly. Tips: Check your tension every few months, especially after summer heat, as wire can stretch and lose its grip over time. Keep the strainer mechanism clean and lightly oiled to prevent rust and binding—a seized strainer is useless when you need to adjust fence tension quickly. Always use galvanised chain like this Gallagher model in Queensland conditions; cheap alternatives will corrode and fail within a season.
