🔧 Elevate Your Rigging Game!
The Loos & Co. PT-1 Professional Hands-Free Force Gauge is an essential tool for accurately measuring tension in cables, ensuring proper setup for sail rigging, large tents, and radio towers. With a measurement accuracy of ±5% and a range of 5-25% of the cable's breaking strength, this gauge is designed for cables with diameters of 3/32, 1/8, and 5/32 inches. Its hands-free operation allows for easy adjustments while remaining hooked on the wire, making it a must-have for professionals in the field.

Nice tool. Works as advertised. Get the right size for your cable diameter.
Easy to place on the cable to be measured.Consistent results from measurement to measurement.Nice to be able to adjust the tension and see the immediate result with the gauge on the cable.Add a small string and clip to tie it to the cable being measured, to stop it from flying off the boat if you happen to drop it :-)I made a nice canvas bag to store it in on the boat.Great lifetime tool.If you have 1/4" cables like me, you can get the smaller or larger version of the gauge, depending on whether you think you may also be measuring smaller or larger than 1/4" cables.

What is the tension in your ham radio tower's guy wires?
According the ARRL tower book, the vast majority of guyed towers have their cable tension set too low. Erecting towers is an expensive and serious business and for those reasons the manufacturers provide specifications on cable tension. To do tower installation correctly, safely, and reliably you need something beyond "this feels about right". This inexpensive tensiometer is recommended by the ARRL and nicely removes the guesswork.

Works perfectly to test the tension of my stainless cable deck railings.

gage calibration
Noticed that my new Pt-2 gage was reading 6 at rest which concerned me and despite the highlighted note on the back of the unit. I called the manufacturer and they confirmed this at rest reading should not be a concern as the gage is calibrated at mid scale. We will see as I use it more this season but this still seams a little weird and unsettling.
