A wire strainer intended for straining of wire in a fence structure is described. The wire strainer includes a body (12) with which a spool (11) having a plurality of teeth (18) is rotatably mounted. An engagement member (21) extends between and is slidingly engaged in elongate slots (20). Legs (24) of the engagement member (21) slidingly engage with the inside wall surfaces of the divergent arms (15) pf body (12). The legs (24) thus apply a force to the engagement member (21) so that it engages with the teeth (18). The engagement member (21) can be removed from contact with the spool (11) by sliding against the biasing effect of the legs (24) so as to engage with the step (27) in the elongate opening (20).
