Fence Repair Tools are now being manufactured and sold through Walters Fencing. Walters Fencing have been providing the laser cutting for the Fence Repair Tool since 2019, and are now handling the full production under my direction. Same product, same quality.
The Fence Repair Tool is now even easier to use, having upgraded to a ratcheting edition. A fixed slotted bar replaces the original chain-locked version, making it significantly easier to adjust tension on a fence as the ratchet features an inbuilt handle, and no chain to grip. Fence Repair Tools are now all silver zinc plated and all include the ratchet bar, all 2024 bolted pivot versions also include a 250mm long stainless steel twitcher.
The Fence Repair Tool is designed primarily for rapidly removing slack from tired and sagging fence lines using only a short piece of wire and with no cuts and joins. It can be also used for repairing broken wires.

What it does:
- Tightens loose fences with a knot that is guaranteed not to come undone
- Can be used on plain and barbed wire fence
- Has been designed to be suitable for high tensile wire (tested with 2.8mm high tensile plain wire)
- Useful for removing slack on short sections between strainer boards (gut strain) on hinged joint or ring lock, and works well in conjunction with a crimping tool and wire crimps.
What it doesn't do:
- Not designed for initial strain-up of a new fence. For that, we suggest the Australian-made "Spring Grip" strainers from Fenceline Solutions or the "Strain Walker" from Wireman.
