Bought one this summer. It locks on really well, but seems big for tight spots (since not every engineer designs grease nipples for accessibility). I removed it from my "field" grease gun and reinstalled it on my "stay at home" air grease gun. Good idea and if things are reasonably accessible it definitely gives an advantage.

Don't waste your money. Buy a Hayes chain tightener or even a Golden Rod jack type and fix it right.

looks like it puts in half a @$$ hole, you know where somebody twist a loop around a hammer head. Call the loop and person whom tightens wire that way the same name...Big Muddy rancher said:

Fixing fence with that tool isn't fixing fence. Its putting a bandaid on it that will last about 5 minutes. Just re stretch the wire and be done with it. It amazes me the lengths folks will go to, to do a crappy job on a project. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing RIGHT.

Good job, guys. Now we know what you REALLY think.........better than waltzing around with trying to find 'nice' words to say the same thing when simple words do it best!
Fences don't get fixed often enough around here according to the 'senior partner', but are fixed right when they get to it!

Never been there myself, and I'm sure it's a nice place with great people an all, but my gut-instincts tell me there probably is'nt much fence-fixing that goes on in that part of the world...
...leave it to those (who are'nt knee-deep involved in something 24/7-365) to insert themselves into the equation 'uninvited' and attempt to re-invent the wheel...to make things 'easier' for those who ARE involved in it, 24/7-365.
