WELLINGTON CORDAGE 7097-CL Clothesline Tightener

I previously ordered a different brand that comes in a 2 pack that did not work with 2 common clothes line sizes to replace an older one I had. Wish I bought this the first time. This worked perfectly.

Clotheslines were sagging. This fixed my problem. Very easy to use. Works well on vinyl covered clothesline. Lines are now taut.

I was looking for an easier way to tighten my clothesline and these fit the bill. They work well with the 7/32" cotton clothesline. The line tightened and stayed tight, even after hanging 20' of wet heavy towels. I've had them for several months now and they're still tight. They might need adjusting after the winter, but that will be a piece of cake.

Performs as expected.Only issue is initial threading is difficult . I wrapped duct tape around end of the line to create a sturdy taper. Once done you shouldn't have to do it again

Defective Chinese junk. You really do get what you pay for here. This thing can’t accept any line since the tensioner balls are pressed into the shuttle. I freed them enough to use with a 1/4” pin punch and tapping the outer housing back in place once the line was in.More trouble than it’s worth in my opinion. If you can spare the space on your line, I’d recommend a trucker’s hitch to simplify.

A little tricky to set up. I did what others recommended - used a piece of twine to thread through the device combined with a screwdriver to push through. Took about 2 minutes.

Seemed like a good idea, but I found it very stiff and awkward to use and the line looked kind of messy...ended up using a mini winch instead...sturdy though.

Used this with Paracord to make a clothesline. Worked perfect. Can loosen or tighten as needed if clothes are too heavy etc
