These are awesome! They are stiff to tighten, but, the electric rope isn't slipping a tiny bit! I've been thru 3 different tightened...nothing held! But these hold great! My only complaint is that there is a part that screw on the side. A number of them were really loose coming out of the bag. You have to manually tighten them before putting them up. Otherwise they fall off...and get lost. Then they are useless. But that is my only complaint. I won't buy any other tensioner in the future...these are "it" for me.

These are great - they're made of plastic, so they both tension and insulate. If you attash them to the spring you don't need another insulator. If you do want the spring to be energised - just leave a bit of the rope out and tie it to the spring, then make a loop and run the loop the tensioner, rather than the very end of the rope. Also, personally I didn't think they were difficult to tighten and I'm no athlete.

Fast shipping and exactly what we needed!

I don't like these. I think the knob is hard to turn. I don't like that they are plastic. If they were metal, then you could connect the electric to the p spring. They seem well made and are not cheap, but I don't think they are necessary or convenient.

Wonderful. Makes tensioning rope fencing easy. I use with a P-spring at one end and a corner pulley insullator at the other end of longer runs.
