4 out of 5 stars.  Cable pulling made easy, April 14, 2010
This does exactly what it is supposed to to do. It is an overpriced tool, but it works.

5 out of 5 stars.  a basic job done well plus a convenient lock, January 7, 2010
This is a common tool offered by several companies all of which do the same basic thing. This tool does a great job with that basic thing. What's different between this & some of the others is a locking ratchet. I've read previously that the lock is something between unnecessary & inconvenient. It may be unnecessary, but it is a convenience that makes it possible to pull to the right tension & then let go, relax & either free up your other hand &/or not worry about over tensioning the cable while your focusing on securing it. I use the tool on my brakes as well as derailleurs, it is on the latter where having your other hand is helpful & it is also important not to accidentally over tighten the cable. Rarely has the lock engaged when I didn't want it to, it hasn't been a big deal. If, however, you are the kind of person who yells at your garden hose when it gets stuck on a corner, the lock could be similarly irritating.

1 out of 5 stars.  Overpriced and not as good as a Quick Grip Irwin Clamp, January 2, 2010
I bought one of these, tried it and was disappointed. My Irwin Quick Grip hand clamp worked in accomplishing the same task more easily. Save your money and buy a quick grip or just use a "c" clamp. Park usually has well designed tools worth the extra money. Not this.
