Spinner 3 Crank Tensioner

[Ronald]

Hello
Has anyone had any experience with the Highland Spinner 3 Crank tensioner? Is it worth the 59.99? It has to be better than the pitiful small knob on the stock tensioner. I have had Ridgid send me 3 rods and they have all had failed. Everytime I tried to tension the blade and loosen it with the stock one, the nut would strip and also on the rod. The second time, I twisted the knob handle off because the threads were stripped. Anybody else had this problem on stock rods. Ron

Any advice/comments/opinions?? Ron

What, nobody has any comments on this??? I was hoping to get something before I ordered it. Ron

I find it hard to believe nobody doesn't have any comemnts on this! Either nobody has heard of it from Highland or it isn't any good. Ron

I ordered it and it is Great! It is 100X's better than the POS that comes with the saw. This one is heavy duty and works smooth.
Get one and throw the stock one in the trash (where it should go in the first place)!!
