Nice, I know we're going to buy a few. They seem like a very cheap and effective way of tensioning chains.

These gonna be available for both #25 and #35 hopefully? I'm assuming these will be molded. Has a material been picked yet? Polycarb? Delrin?

Question mark?

It's designed to work with either size. Check out the dual-step profile of the chain groove.

wow thats great now i just need to come up with something

any idea on price?

R.C. · #5 07-10-2008, 17:55

The material will be UHMW and it will be molded. I think the price will be between $10-15 and I don't know for sure. The price will probably change.

So is that for a pair? A single one? two pairs?

thanks, Vivek

a pair as in two of what is pictured; enough to tension one run of chain.

Very Nice RC, now only if I could come up with something. Lol.

We'll definitely be buying them. Only worry that comes to mind is if there's enough material to take the wear and tear without "wearing through"? The tensioners we made ourselves out of Delrin probably had a 1/2" of solid backing and I'll bet we wore through 1/8" of it. Looks like there might only be 1/8" there, but it's hard to tell w/o dimensions. Have you done any testing on wear?

Thanks,
John

UHMW is a harder plastic than delrin. Our Mcmaster Carr ones only wore 3/16th's and we used them for almost 2 years.

Certainly cheaper than tensioners that you can get from McMaster-Carr... that's a huge bonus.
