LouNY, your old post is where I found this method and have been using it ever since. Thanks for that post. I refused to pay the crazy money they want for those tightening devices so I made my own. Same as the one they use. I used it once and found it to be too cumbersome and not work very well. I have since found a better way to get them tight enough. I use Trygg's and they state the chains should be very tight and retightened after a short drive. I note that the Aquiline's do not require the chains to be really tight. I would love to get a set of those for my front tires but can't find a supplier in Western Canada. I ended up getting a set of ATV ice chains and they work well, with very little sign of wear so far.
