I have a chain strainer but in the end it was easier to use those ratchet strainers and you can tighten them very easily if need be.
Mine is similar except that it has a third gripper on the end. Useful if you need to regrip the moving gripper without losing the stretch you already made. These fence stretchers are the best way to do it that I know.What is a Fence Stretcher and Stretching Fence - YouTube
This is what I usually use when tightening barbed wire.
