The Strainrite Electric/Open Crimp Sleeve is a specialized fencing solution designed for secure and efficient connections in electric fencing systems. Tailored for 1.6mm to 2.5mm (16 to 12.5 gauge) high-tensile wires, these aluminium sleeves feature a water-resistant grit adhesive, ensuring durable, weather-resistant joints that maintain conductivity in all conditions. When crimped 4–5 times with Strainrite tools like the EzeCrimp or UltraCrimp, the sleeves form a strong, cylindrical joint that exceeds the wire’s breaking strain without splitting, ideal for livestock and agricultural electric fences. Available in tubs of 50, this New Zealand-made product offers professional-grade reliability, easy installation, and compatibility with Strainrite’s precision tools, making it a trusted choice for maintaining robust and effective electric fencing systems.
Strainrites genuine New Zealand Made Electric Crimp Sleeves are for use on 1.60mm to 2.70mm fencing wire. Crimp 4-5 times with EzeCrimp or UltraCrimp Fencing tool to ensure joint strength. Crimp from one end overlapping each crimp to eliminate shoulders

To maximize these advantages, use only Strainrite crimp sleeves with compatible Strainrite tools, as non-Strainrite sleeves may damage tools and void warranties.
-
Proper crimping technique (4–5 overlapping crimps, leaving 1/4" between multiple sleeves) is critical for optimal performance.
