The tensioning tool is used in conjunction with strapping and buckles to create a tight perimeter band that will hug the cover securely against the protected object, preventing movement and eliminating chafing.
If the perimeter band is left only hand tightened, the cover will sit loosely over the object and can rub and chafe the object. A band properly tightened with the Tensioning Tool will create a powerful perimeter band that will hug the cover securely against the protected object, preventing movement and eliminating chafing.
