Wire tension key

The Wire Tensioner for Spring Clamps is a specialist tool designed for use with “Żabka”-type spring clamps and Ø5–10 mm wire ties. Its galvanized steel body provides resistance to corrosion and typical construction site conditions, while the rubberized handle ensures a secure grip even with wet or dirty hands. The tool allows the wire to be tensioned quickly and evenly, providing secure formwork closing before concreting. It is suitable for use with spring clamps designed to carry loads of up to 25 kN, making it useful for foundations, columns, ring beams and lintels. Its simple construction and ergonomic handle help speed up both formwork assembly and dismantling.
