Designed for use with Glacier tire chains, these rubber adjusters make it easy to fit and tighten your vehicle's snow chains in no time. Can be used with any type of Glacier chain.I tried them on; and they fit well. I'll be ready for my subdivision's icy conditions next time. Thanks for the rapid service, and here are some photos from the test today; though you may not want to use the tension photo, because the clips should have been rotated to the next section
These are real heavy duty adjusters. Unless you have 12 to maybe 14 inch wheels, go with the 16-20 inch size. I installed them on a 16 inch Dodge Dakota wheel and the rubber is very difficult to stretch across the wheel, let alone make the other three attachments.
Lane S - 02/06/2016Just put these on my International Harvester Garden Tractor. Easy to install, fit just right, I got these because the black rubber bungees I used last winter were a problem. Two broke during the winter, and two more broke when I tried them this fall. If these hold up I'll be very happy

These worked very well for the chains that I bought last year. I drive a 1998 4Runner Limited with 16" rims. It took a little bit of practice centering the chains on the tire so definitely do so before you get a bunch of snow. If it seems like this tensioner is too tight, doublecheck that the chains are positioned on the tire correctly and not too far in toward the wheel well.
I ordered three sets of chains. One for my van, one for my small truck and one for my big truck. The chains with the cams are very nice and easier to deal with. Don't buy the rubber rings with hooks that is used to keep the chain centered, it is cheap and will not last the winter. Buy the short rubber straps at any hardware, they work perfectly. These are adequate chains for moderate use.
All items arrived in good condition and all were as described and were as expected. The items, three sets of tire chains and three sets of chain tighteners were inspected, but as of this date none of the items have been installed or placed in service. The products all appear to be of good quality and should perform as expected when used. At this time, I rate the order response time as excellent and all items were shipped quickly and arrived in good condition and if they do not prove to perform well I will quickly respond with a follow-up review to indicate any deficiencies. Will look forward to doing additional business with etrailer.com.
Bought this product to replace bungee cords to keep my snow chains tight. They work great. The tensioners fit easily inside my chain bag so every thing is kept together. Great product, I recommended them to a couple of my buddies.
BOUGHT CHAINS FOR WINTER TRAVEL: THEY DID A GREAT JOB IN KEEPING SNOW AWAY FROM MID-MISSOURI LAST WINTER. I "SHOVELED" ONLY 4 INCHES ALL YEAR. LATE OCTOBER TRIP TO ESTES PARK; THEY KEPT THE BAD WEATHER AWAY ALSO. THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN SNOW. I ONLY WISH THEY WOULD ALLOW FOR COOLER WEATHER IN MISSOURI IN AUGUST AND NOW IN SEPT & NOVE. I WILL HAVE TO SEE IF THEY CONTINUE TO "WORK" AT KEEPING THE SNOW AT BAY FOR THE WINTER OF 2016-17. YOUR PRODUCTS ARE GREAT AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS EVEN BETTER! !
Perfect Fit for my 94 Dodge Ram 2500. I put them on and left them on all winter but never went anywhere. Put them on just in case I needed to use my old truck during the brutal Wyoming winter. This truck only has 92K miles on it! The milage is so low because I never go anywhere in this old truck.
Went to new style chains. Too difficult to put on when it's snowing and not ideal conditions (like a nice dry garage or driveway). the tensioners are to stiff in the winter and my wife cannot install correctly. Would not recommend the chains OR the tensioners.
Having just tried out this chain tightener for fit, I can attest that it does what it's supposed to do. The hooks were loose on the rubber and easily fell off (thus, 4 stars), so I gently squeezed them a bit in a vice, just enough that they no longer fall off of said rubber "doughnut" when being handled. It was relatively warm when I tested them for fit (30 degrees F.). I suspect that this "rubber band" will be somewhat harder to stretch in colder weather.
Outstanding service by Jenny! Quick delivery even at Christmas time. Repeat customer. Thank you etrailer.
Received 2 sets of 12" rubber chain spreaders and they were of the highest quality I've ever seen. I was more than satisfied with the product. I live in Pittsburgh, PA, called your location in St. Louis late Friday afternoon, and the product was delivered the following Tuesday. The person I spoke to in St. Louis was a pleasure to deal with and had an excellent knowledge of the product that I ordered. I would highly recommend your company and would deal with you people again without hesitation. Thank you.
If your chains do not come with built in tensioners, this product is an absolute must have. Mine were easy to attach and held perfectly through a lot of miles in heavy snow. If they are cleaned with soapy water after the season is over, they should last for several years. An excellent product!
Pw 100 is too short for my camry 1999, 205 65 15, Pw99 may be better. I put the rubber adjusters on for testing, later, I found there has a cutting mark on the rubber, It think it too small
Fortunately I didn't have to use it. I purchased it just in case it became necessary to put the chains on when we went through the Rockies. Looks well made, and glad to have purchased them. Just noticed below though, that your instructions pdf links are both dead. Would have been nice to stick a copy of both of them in the bag for future use.
These are an absolute necessity for tire chain applications whether you use traditional chain-link, or cable chains for your vehicle. Excellent quality rubber with great steel hook construction makes these a terrific addition to your winter weather gear for your automobile.
I wish every business I dealt with were like etrailer. Great products, great communication, super fast shipping and handling. Truly a model business!
Great prompt service at a good price. I will shop here again as I did in the past.
Anthony - 11/10/2020The quality of the Rubber adjuster looks good but unfortunately the ones that were recommended for my tire/rim size are way to small. I pulled so hard to install them I nearly broke the rubber and that was on a 60 degree day and still couldn't get more than 2 hooks attached. Other than that they should work great for the right application.
Package arrived not destroyed (like other UPS packages that have been delivered from other sources). I have not tried these out yet, but all indications and talks with different folks say they will and that you really should have these when using either types snow chain devices.
Always great products and great customer service at etrailer
I appreciate that you/your company does follow ups to purchases after a year. I think that is great. That being said, since ordering the tire cables/chains, it has not snowed enough to use them! I have saved this email and promise to review them once we actually get to use them. Thanks again!!
Ordering from etrailer was easy, quick, and all products perfectly fit the description. Will order from them again if needed. Thank you!
