I know there was a previous thread, but I couldn't find it. I got this with a bundle of auction junk. Any ideas? The handle is about five feet long. Thanks!

Modern version looks like this.

Wire Strainer Fence Wire Tensioner - Lifestyle & Garden - TopmaQ (https://www.topmaq.co.nz/farm-lifestyle-garden/lifestyle-garden/fencing-gates/wire-strainer-fence-wire-tensioner-fepd2000)

As you work the handle the claws basically "walk" up the chain, and pull the wire tight.

I wouldn't have figured that out. Thanks, all.
