Homemade Timing Tensioner Tool

This site may earn a commission from merchant affiliate links, including eBay, Amazon, and others.

You can easily make about 5 tensioner tools with these items.

M8 Allthread
M8 Coupling Nuts
M8 Hex Nuts

I cut the allthread to about 10" after threading a coupling nut and a hex nut onto the allthread.
Tack weld the coupling nut OR use the hex nut to hold the coupling nut to the allthread.
I welded mine and I use the hex nut to clean the threads after using the tool.
Easy and cheap, I even sent one to a good friend since it made 5 I think.
Take the allthread to a grinding wheel after the nuts are on it and make a rounded tip.
Viola, you have your own tensioning tool.
