Strainrite Ultracrimp 5 in 1 Crimping Tool 

used  of crimps is the most cost effective way to permanently join wire in fence installations - over the years Strainrite have developed a number of tools to make the job as easy, and secure as possible.

The Ultracrimp 5 in 1 is the latest and most versatile crimping tool from Strainrite. Engineered in NZ to reduce strain during extended use, the cutlery grade steel used for the jaws, and the double action over centre lever make it possible to crimp Strainrite crimp sleeves 4–5 times, overlapping each crimp to eliminate shoulders for a secure joint. 

The Ultracrimp doesn't only make crimping easy. The Strainrite Ultracrimp is the tool that does it all. Not only does it crimp ALL strainrite crimps but with the 5 in 1 you can also pull staples, cut wire, strip wire and of course join wire.

One tool to rule them all! The fewer tools you have, the less likely you are to leave one behind or lose on site.

Gripple Pro+ Tensioning Tool

The Gripple Standard Torq Tool (also known as the Torq Tensioning Tool) and the Contractor Torq Tool (or Contractor Series Tension Tool) are both specialized wire tensioning devices designed for use with Gripple wire joiners and tensioners in fencing, trellising, and anchoring applications, compatible with wires from 1.5mm to 6mm in diameter. They share core functionalities like an integral torque gauge for consistent tensioning (up to 880 lbs/400 kg), a quick-release cam for easy positioning, and an audible click mechanism to prevent over-tensioning, ensuring optimal wire life and reliable results. However, they differ significantly in construction, ergonomics, and intended use, with the Contractor model optimized for professional, high-volume work.
