A wire tensioner is a mechanical device used to apply and maintain tension on fence wires. It is designed to tighten loose wires or help in stretching new ones during installation. The tool is widely used for various types of fencing in Kenya, including electric fences, barbed wire, and chain-link fences.

Position the Tensioner: Attach the tensioner to the loose or slack wire, positioning it close to the post or anchor point.
Tighten the Wire: Using the tensioner’s mechanism, pull the wire tight until it reaches the desired tension. For electric fences, it’s crucial that the wires are taut enough to conduct electricity effectively.
Secure the Wire: Once the wire is properly tensioned, fasten it to the post or anchor point, ensuring it remains in place.
Check the Tension: After tightening, inspect the wire for any weak spots or areas that may need additional tensioning.
