I ordered the chain tensioners for my Land Rover Defender several weeks ago and they are AMAZING … since they arrived Wisconsin has not had a single snowflake, the temperatures are in the low 50s, there is not one bit of black ice … truly an amazing product! Seriously, I did a trial fit on the Defender and they work extremely well … good product and well priced.

Far superior to using bungee-cords to tighten tire chains.

These are simple and effective at quickly snugging up the tire chain to ensure it stays where you want it. I recommend these even for cam-style chains, as they take any remaining slack out of the install. For the price, just get an extra pair now as backup!In terms of fit, these work perfectly for full-size pickup tires (or SUVs with equivalent sized tires), but would likely not be effective for smaller vehicles (compact and perhaps even mid-size SUV or similar). In terms of installation, I agree with reviewer "E. Richards" in that you should install at 4 and 8, then 12, then 10 and 2 for the easiest/quickest install possible.Please note that while these might help keep oversized chains on the tire, it is critical to get the right size chain for your application both for performance and safety. Tire chains can cause substantial damage to a vehicle when they come loose, not to mention the risk associated with a sudden loss of traction.Update Jan 6, 2012: One "con" I found with these tighteners is that the "C" style connectors are likely to fall off the rubber ring during removal in cold temps. Because the rubber is stretched and stiff, it has a smaller diameter than at install and can easily slip through the opening. Drop one of those little buggers in some snow, and good luck finding it! I lost two on the first one I removed (I wised up after that and was far more careful). After removing, if you take the tighteners indoors for a few minutes, they will quickly shrink back to their original size and be ready for another installation.Update Jan 4, 2017: The quality of the rubber on these seems to be on the decline. Whereas I used to be able to get a season's use out of them, I am finding that I am now "lucky" to have them not break after being on the truck for a couple of months. Keep in mind that this is a couple of *winter* months in Fairbanks, Alaska, so UV degradation from sunlight should not be an issue. I was okay with spending approximately $20 per year on a set of four, but doing so multiple times a season just isn't acceptable. I am purchasing one more set today just to see how they do, but it will be my last if they break prematurely. I am also dropping my review to four stars (it may go lower with the next update!).

So this winter I had to put tire chains on my truck it comes with chain tensioners but I like to double up on them for the fact that I don't like my change to pop loose at any given time. They worked 100% the way they're supposed to be working if you don't have chain tensioners I would suggest getting some of these for your vehicle even if you do have them it's always good to double up on them to ensure that your chains do not slip.

Had to replace the tighteners on my old chains, these are doing a good job. A bit hard in the cold, will need to use a pair of pliers to pull the hooks, otherwise holds the chains well.

In theory, this is a good product. Stretchy, appropriately sized, should work good right? Well, my experience was otherwise. I bought the first pair initially with the tire chains and I was able to stretch them out (they are pretty tight the first time) and get them attached. After a while, the rubber started to crack and split. I figured it was because of spinning the tires in the mud and chalked it up to operator error. I purchased another set this spring and put them on. One of the tighteners snapped right away. I just don't think they are very good. I'm thinking really seriously about just using some short bungie cords, criss-crossed over the wheel.That said, I put my tire chains on in December and left them on until February, because they go on a truck that stays on my property and is used for gathering firewood. Maybe they are not meant for more than temporary use... At the price, I suppose they could be considered something that should be replaced every year, but I set the bar a little higher.

I've used a bunch of types of chain tensioners, including the spider/multi-arm style, this kind, and just plain bungee cords. This is my favorite. They're super cheap, go on easily, and seem to deal better with not needing you to put them on precisely. Pro tip: before using them the first time, take a pair of pliers and tighten each hook around the cable a bit more. They fly off really easily if you slip while attaching the last one or two hooks, they don't include any extras, and they are IMPOSSIBLE to find. If you lose one, four hooks still provides decent tensioning, but if you lose more than one you're in trouble...Of course at this price it's probably worth getting 1-2 extras anyway...

I bought a set of chains from this company and they are great and now I bought their chain tightener and they work and fit good.

Will be used for snow chains securing. One should accept they will not last for ever.
