Review on 🔧 Klein Tools 86570 Tie Tensioning Tool, Suitable for 120-250 Pound Rated Ties, Delivers 65-Pound Tension, Enhanced Handle Grips for Comfort by David Foster

I didn't know such a tool existed until a few days ago (I saw a link to one in the comments of a DIY video). I ordered this for my project using zip ties to attach a vinyl trellis to a 3/4 inch PVC pipe to make a trellis. It worked great. The zip ties were securely fastened and the "tails" were trimmed neatly without protruding, save for a few of the many attributed to user error. However, I must admit that when the tool first arrived and I quickly tested it at home, my hands-on attempts were unsuccessful. The instructions on the back of the blister didn't really help me, then I found a YouTube video accidentally filmed in slow motion, but the first minute was pretty much all I needed to watch to know exactly how to put on the tie to make the stretcher work. .Also, in a previous review, someone warned against over-pulling, so I knew I had to be careful. After that it was easy. PVC pipes and cable ties. This is a great tool.
