Abstract
A spooler for tensioning a fence rail includes a hub with an aperture. The aperture receives the rail such that the rail may pass through the hub. Each of a pair of cup-shaped discs has a plurality of openings in the bottom. The discs are located at each end of the hub and face away from each other. At least one drive is located on one of the discs and receives a driver. A rim of the disc extends to be at least flush with the end portion of the drive. At least one locking pin is adapted to be inserted into one opening in each disc. When the at least one locking pin is fully inserted, the sides of each disc extend beyond ends of the at least one locking pin.
