AJ: What's up, everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're going to be checking out this rubber tensioner for your tire chains. Now it's from Titan Chains. And it's going to go on your tire chains, excuse me, to help tighten them up. Without this.. I'll take it off and show you.
Without this, the chains hang on there loosely and you won't want to drive like that. And it's recommended that these styles of chains have these tensioners because of what I'm about to show you. So without the tensioner, you see how loose it is on there. You don't really want that while you're driving down the road. It could cause issues.
Maybe just even hitting your rims or something like that. You add this tensioner on here and this band pulls the chains towards the center and pulls them tighter across the tire all around. Now you can see that difference. I can barely move the chains on there now with all the tension.Now they come in a few different sizes. This one's for cars.
There's one for light trucks and heavy trucks. So make sure you get the right tensioner for the right chains. Now I'm going to compare it to another style of rubber adjuster. You can see that they're very different. This one has a metal ring in the center and it has six rubber arms that come out from there.
There's pros and cons of that. I like that the hook is attached on these so you can't take the hook off. And I like that there's six arms on this one. This would spread this out and make it more evenly if it just had one more of those clips.So it's not a big deal. It's not going to affect the way it works, but just looking at it I just would like this part to be hooked up there just for my own sake. But the other things is one of these arms can break. We use these a lot when we're doing tire chains. It probably won't happen to you. You won't use them and put them through as much as we do because we do lots of tire chains every day. But I've seen one of the arms snap before. So I don't know. I think this one might be better with that aspect over the longterm in the cold.But things you have to worry about is losing one of these clips because they can come off. And if you lose one, I don't know how easy it would be to find one of these at a hardware store or something like that. This is all included and attached like I said. So that's easier to just throw this in the back of your vehicle and have it all together rather than throw this back there. And then, you'll be missing pieces when you really need it. Although it does its job just fine and holds these chains nice and tight because you can't be going down the road with droopy chains. It's not going to be good for your vehicle or for your ride. Well, thanks for hanging out. And I hope this helped.

Designed for use with Titan Chain tire chains, these single-piece rubber adjusters make it easy to fit and tighten your vehicle's snow chains in no time.
Will not fit chains installed on a 17" Rim.
These chain adjusters have a diameter of approximately 8inches.
The documentation included with the tensioners indicates that they will fit up to a twenty inch rim.
They will not stretch enough to use with tire chains installed on the standard 17 inch rims on a 2016 Jeep Cherokee.
In summary, I cannot use these tensioners and will have to buy a larger size.
They fit great I’ve only plowed once this is the no snow winter in Minnesota I have chains on all four wheels I usually need them thank you
First time trying etrailer and I must say very impressed. Kept me very wellinformed during all steps during shipping. The packaged arrived on the date promised. Overall A+
Reliable tension and work well
Worked great showed app on time, real h appy.
did the job
Saves time and tangle of bungees.
Look good , havnt had time to try them yet.
These adjusters make the chains snug with no slip. They are holding the chains snug so far
Very responsive, delivered as expected, good pricing. And fantastic product selection.
These tighteners were purchased as a second, backup pair to those that came with the tire cable set that I purchased on the same order.
The cable tire chains were purchased for a 2016 Honda HR-V to be equipped to travel in the often snow / ice covered highways to and from the ski resorts of Colorado.
I haven't been required to use them yet so I can't comment on their ease of use nor reliability.
Works good for tightening up the tire chains. Easy install, great price, fast delivery.
Product arrived in good condition and delivered when expected. Would happily use etrailer.com for any future automotive needs.
I received my tire chains and adjuster yesterday, when promised. Items were exactly as ordered. I was able to easily track the status of my order until delivery.
The tire chains come in a nice carrying bag so they will be easy to store in the vehicle. I haven't had a chance to use the tire chains yet, but if I do, I will update my review.
The TCOA1 chain tensioners arrived as promised.
They have not been used as of this writing but the
rubber they're made of seemed sturdy enough and the hooks
durable. Going to Big Bear Lake, CA this weekend where snow
is in the forecast! If used, I will report back the usefulness of these
devices. Your customer service was outstanding!
These rubber tire chain adjusters are just what is needed to tighten down my new snow chains. They are of great quality and nicely packaged.
I purchased these with the chains I bought and they keep them nice and tight, no flopping around. Easy to install and they fit in the chain bag.
Got them for use with car chains. Haven't used the car chains yet, but going to the mountains in the next week. If snows, I'll have some car chains (and the tire chain adjuster) should I need them.
These chain adjusters are great, they tighten the cable chains so no worries about them loosening up while you're driving.
Fit as they should, kept chains snug.
Really fast service and I was notified of the orders progress often. Great service and as always the products were just as advertised. Thanks etrailer I'll be back !
Just got them yesterday also and just waiting for it to snow
As advertised. Fast delivery.
Could not find these snubbers here locally and E-trailers have them very reasonably priced

Thanks for checking in. So far Ive used the chains once when driving over a slick pass in Oregon. They were easy to install and uninstall. They provided the comforting assurance we were hoping for. Id recommend these to any other 2013 Honda Fit drivers.
