Pack of 10 Aluminum Guyline Wind Rope Buckle Cord Adjuster for Tent Camping Hiking Backpacking Outdoor Activity, Red

Nothing really much to say other than these are simple and easy to use guy line adjusters. Just make sure to look at the pictures/directions on how to use them. I've seen too many people complaining about these because they didn't follow the directions. They work great, they are very light and sturdy. I use them for my backpacking Hammock and also on my truck camping tents.

These are the perfect thing for tensioning guy lines on tents or temporary vertical lightweight masts. I used them with a fiberglass 30 foot mast to tension the guy lines so they are secure, but easy to do or undo. A great invention.

Extremely lite weight and works very well. Price is right as well. Cheap, lite and effective. Happy with this purchase.

The media could not be loaded. I've seen this style of tensioner in photos but never tried them. Looking for lightweight compact tensioners and for this price and free returns couldn't go wrong. The way they're pictured I couldn't get to work well. They definitely stay put that way but very difficult to tension or loosen. Not how I like to use a tensioner. So I played around with different ways to configure them and came up with this. I haven't used them overnight, but they seem very stable using this type of nylon tie-out. I didn't think it would work as well with 550 cord because of the difference in stiffness in the cord, but that seems to work just as well. Giving 4 stars on "ease of use" just because I couldn't get them to work like everyone else seems to use them.EDIT: I ended up leaving that corner of my 10ft canopy tied out using that tensioner for over a week, including some pretty windy storms, and it held. There was no decrease in tension over that time and when I pulled up as in my video it came right loose. I'd made some tensioners from PVC that I could positively lock in place, but this is smaller, simpler, easier to use, and seems to hold just as well. I think for our upcoming trip I'm switching to these.

I ordered these because there were so many in the pack. I am using them to secure a tarp on my camp trailer. I used them with 3/16" diameter braided line and you can pass the rope through one of the holes and tie a figure 8 knot as a stopper and it works well. If using 550 paracord this way it will probably be better to use the smaller hole.This was just the thing for cinching the ropes up tight. I will have to go check on them to see if they loosen up over time. But if they stay tight I will be pleased.

I bought these as well as the “peanut” type of tensioner that is smaller and has a hole then 2 “c” slots (see my last photo), because I wasn’t sure which would work better for my project.Turns out they each have their place, I used the other peanut style for some initial tie downs for a shade tarp for our deck, they’re very low profile and sit flat to the rope nicely.These “alien” style tensioners though were what I used to create actual tension in the lines. Using the tie method video from Lem Wells’ video and review on this product page I was able to use the alien tensioners to get nearly as much tension as I could’ve with a trucker hitch. The flat / peanut style you can’t really get as tight because if you really tighten the line then you won’t be able to get it back through the final “c” slot, these you fasten down and then tighten. They’re very effective in that way.Also the tie off hole is fairly small, but I was still always able to get 550/7-strand cord through - albeit with a little difficulty - even if the cord had a fairly large burned end.If I have any issues I’ll update this review.

These tensioners work great but not in the way the listing instructs. Really impossible to tension a line in that way. Look for a review and short video by Lem Wells to learn how to use them. I’m very happy with the product once I looked at his review and learned how to use them.

May look quirky, but are very sturdy & easy to use. I have found them easy to use setting up shade sails or tieing down materials I haul in my trailer. You can't go wrong with these little guys ... highly recommend.
