Q: Can this be used on a solid wire without cutting the wire? I don't want to have to cut my current wiring. I know the Strainrite XT1 Wire Strainer will do it, which is to tighten a single strand of wire without cutting it. Will this one do that too? Thx

I’ve used these ratchet fence stretchers with heavy tension springs in my high tensile electric fence for 30 years. I can’t imagine trying to build electric fencing without them. They are well made and well designed. Anyone who says otherwise is simply a fool.
