Hmm.  I've used vice grips.  You clamp on to the wire, then roll the rounded back edge over something solid, as a lever.

I had considered the binder and the ratchet too.  They're not out of the running yet, but for some reason I can't remember right now I had gone with the worm drive.

I was immediately taken by the simplicity of that last one.  I like it - a lot.  I'm going to have to think how I could incorporate it... but I like it - a lot. :)

Thanks,

Strainrite XT1 Ratchets for field fencing maybe. Used em to suck up the stretch after the horse gets done rubbing his rear on the fencing, cheap and easy.

Need to get some of those, some of our fences look like hamocks right now. Those were what gave me the idea of the rachet pawl.

MrFluffy:
Wow, they look slick.
We have these everywhere here, the cam and pawl is formed by the centre spindle and the cutouts in the housing rather than having moving parts and springs and things, and despite being cheap and made to a price, they do work really well. To defeat them you force the spindle back out the grove and it slips 90deg. Not for fine adjustment but great for coarse.
