About this model

This is based on the Original Loop Alien Line Tensioner, The idea is not mine and I do not take credit for their work.

While you may think that you don't need this, it is a pretty handy thing to have lying around in case you accidentally snap the line tensioner on a tent or canopy, just grab this and use it! If you are having trouble with it, there is a thickened version included to help make it a little stronger. The Original { } Learn how to use it here:
