Can The Ratcheting Chain Binder Be Used With Cables To Secure a Dock In Place?
Question:
Would this work as a cable tightener for a dock? In Missouri we use cables to hold our docks in place and the cables are alway loosening off. There is a lot of waves and movement so I am not sure this would be the best thing for the ratchet. What do you think?

Expert Reply:
Yes, you could use the Durabilt Ratchet Chain Binder # DU26MR to tighten your dock cables. A better option would be the Durabilt Ratchet Chain Binder w/ Compression Spring # DU52MR since you have the movement caused by waves on your dock. The spring will help to absorb some of the shock and extend the life of your cable as well as the binder.
