You'll see how easy it with the ratchet, but you can waste £30 on a "special" tool if you like. | |

You set the tension with one hand and the square adaptor and lock the tensioner with a spanner when the tension is set. | |

They're about £30 on eBay. I have one I've never used as I do the method described above. | |

There is a square cut out on the tensioner. Stick a small extension onto your 3/8 ratchet and use that. | |
