1.0 out of 5 stars Do you need this?, September 21, 2010

You may think you need this but maybe not. I ordered, "Security Chain Company SC1038 Radial Chain Cable Traction Tire Chain - Set of 2" along with the Rubber Tightner but lo and behold, there is reference after reference in the installation instructions saying DO NOT use the cable chain with the rubber tightener! SO don't order it if you order the SC1038 cable chain. This probably goes for any of the other cable type chains. I think it IS a good idea for the non-cable chain tire chains. BUT. I've ordered the tire chains that use chains and they ALREADY come with the rubber tighteners. So, now you know. If in doubt, order them but be prepared to return them. Amazon is always good about returns....

1.0 out of 5 stars Incorrect Cross Reference and Description, March 15, 2011

This review is from: Security Chain Company QG20070 Quik Grip Passenger Vehicle Traction Chain Rubber Tightener - Set of 2 (Misc.)

I bought this because it was listed as the replacement tightener for our Sure Grip Z (size SZ-335) Passenger Tire Chain.

It isn't. Not only does this tightener have 5 metal rather than 6 plastic clips (which I expected) but it is actually a larger diameter than the original tightener, making it useless even if I replaced the clips.

I find this very misleading given that it was recommended that I buy this together with the chain I bought, and given the official Amazon.com description:

Product Description:
Security Chain Company Quik Grip Passenger Vehicle Traction Chain Rubber Tightener is designed for virtually every type of use from passenger cars, SUVs to trucks, airport transporters, ATVs, garden tractor to snowblowers and forklift machines.

Clearly this is not a universal product. I had tried to confirm Amazon's description by checking the Security Chain web site but they had no information about replacement tighteners. They don't even have a phone number. I am waiting for a return email to let me know what I should have ordered.

Meanwhile I think Amazon should change the links and descriptions that make it seem like this product is compatible with Security Chain Sure Grip Z and Super Z passenger tire traction devices. Clearly it isn't.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what is needed! Especially for the cables, February 6, 2010

This product is just great, especially for the cables which don't have a tightening system of their own. I am currently using them with chains and they keep them very tight. You can forget with tires spinning inside chains and cables with this product. The rubber orings are very strong. They install easier if you hook one side and then stretch the third clasp across the tire and then hook the sides. Amazon.com is the only place that I have been able to find these even though the chain manufacturer states that they are recommended right on the box that the chains and cables are shipped in. I ordered 5 sets and got free shipping so I'm good to go for a few years.
