Tension Tool

Deck builders who install the popular Feeney CableRail system may want to consider adding the company’s new ratcheting-style tensioning tool to their next order. The tool features a 6:1 gear ratio and a built-in tension indicator, which should make cable installation easier and more accurate. It comes equipped for use with Feeney’s 1/8-inch-diameter stainless steel CableRail, but adapter heads are also available for 3/16- and 1/4-inch-diameter cable. The tool costs about $100 and is available directly from Feeney. feeneyinc.com
