Coat Hanger Tension Wrench

[The Speed of Dark]

What I found to work great for a supplemental tension wrench is a coat hanger that has been wrapped around a threaded bolt a couple of times. The wrapping around creates a few loops/circles in the wrench and thus allows it to become more "springy" thus allowing the user to require less tension. I also found out coat hangers and a bolt are not hard to come by and require less than a dollar of materials and less than 1 minute of your time..

Yeah, I'd like to see a pic aswell. The way I see it, you'd need to hammer the metal flat to use it as a tensioner. Depending on the hanger, you'd need to file all that nasty coating off first to stop it rubbing off in the lock aswell... definately not my first choice of in-a-pinch tensioner, but as a project it sounds prety neat. I love bar style tensioners, you get amazing feedback from them.

Will work on it. Perhaps a video. I have no idea of how to post pictures or videos on here yet, any feedback on that would be great.
