Goldenrod Model 405 Fence Stretcher-Splicer - Professional Wire Tensioning Tool

The Professional's Choice for Wire Fence Installation and Repair

For generations, farmers and ranchers have trusted the Goldenrod name as the gold standard in fence stretchers. The Model 405 builds on this legendary reputation with a controlled release holding ratchet that reduces line breakage—making it the most reliable tool for stretching, splicing, and repairing high tensile, barbed, and smooth wire fencing.

Key Features:

• Controlled release holding ratchet prevents sudden tension release and reduces wire breakage
• Hardened guides and clamps grip wire firmly over a large area for superior holding power
• Clamp teeth engineered to grip securely without damaging the wire
• Hardened rivets at load-bearing pivots for extended tool life
• Strong one-piece handle with ergonomic rounded edges for comfortable operation
• Works with high tensile, barbed, and smooth wire

Versatile Applications:

Stretch Wire: Position one hook on a post and the other to draw wire tight. The hook remains secure on any size post or tree until you release it.

Splice Wire: Both hooks take up slack from wire ends and hold them firmly in place, leaving both hands free to make a perfect splice.

Staple Wire: Holds wire tightly against fence posts for easy, accurate stapling.

Raise Wire: Position the stationary hook on top of a fence post to lift wire over hills or obstructions.

Draw Down Wire: Perfect for stretching fence over wash cuts, draws, creeks, and other terrain challenges.

Why Choose the Goldenrod Model 405?

The Model 405 features the proven design of the classic Model 400 with one critical upgrade: a controlled release holding ratchet. This allows for gradual tension release, significantly reducing the risk of line breakage during fence work. It's the professional upgrade that pays for itself in reduced wire waste and faster, safer installations.

Built to Last:

Goldenrod's reliable, proven design has been trusted since the 1970s. Every component is engineered for durability—from the hardened guides and clamps to the reinforced pivots and one-piece handle construction. This is a tool that will serve your operation for decades.
