Hey, guys. Today we're going to be checking out the T-shaped cam-tightening tool for tightened chains. These are available in two sizes, one for light truck snow tire chains and heavy-duty truck snow tire chains.This is going to be a lot easier to use than that factory tool that comes with it. Reasons why is because of that T-shape. We'll be able to hold it, put it into the keyhole here, give it a nice easy twist without having to worry about our gloves, our hands slipping off that other tool.To give you a good look at that factory tool, you can see here that it's L-shaped. I know that a lot of times when I'm using it I have to hold it real close to the top here, so I can get a good grip on it.
If I hold it down here, my gloves or my hands tend to slip off the edge, whereas the T-shape, I can place it between my fingers and get a great grip every time.Let's try it again. Again, in and turn, and it's locked into place, versus that L-shaped style where if I put it in the keyhole I'm really having a hard time here. I kind of have to get my other hand in there to really tighten it, and it doesn't seem to work as well.It's going to be a great replacement or upgrade to that other tool or even if you need an extra. Overall, it's going to make the job a lot easier.It's made out of a low-carbon steel construction just like most chains, so it's going to be strong and durable and hold up for a long time. It also features a zinc finish, so we don't need to worry about any rust or corrosion.To give you an idea how big it is, it measures about five inches long this way and about three and 3/8 inches long this way.It's also going to be great for unlocking those cam tighteners.
And even if they're a little bit hard to get undone, we can use two hands on it.
