Same here, as I was having serious issues locating a Klein tool or wire grip locally. Had not thought of using more U-clamps with the come-along winch.
Maybe you can offer me some advice, I'm hanging my Grandkids a really nice swing from a tree and I don't have the really good position limb, but I can run wire cable between two trees, about 20' apart, then using a D-ring or clevis, attach my rope. My rope will tie to D-ring or clevis, and they will hang on wire cable stretched between two trees. I can use a come along to pull cable tight, then secure with cable clamps like you did. I know not to saddle a dead horse, but how far apart do I install wire cable clamps? 6"? Any suggestions is appreciated. Thank you, John
+DjVirusPL This zipline was only set once for an afternoon session... but in fact, there is protection on the top tree, you just can't see it on the video.
I am not sure I understand your question. The idea is to use the top adjustment (pushing the wire clips towards the tree) in order to regain some of the lost tension that occur when you take the come-along off of the cable. While the tension regained is not enough to re-tension your zipline, it will help to take a bit os slack. The key here is to always put more tension on the come-along than what you finally need because you will lose some to take it off.
Lke I said in a previous comment: "This zipline was only set once for an afternoon session... but in fact, there is protection on the top tree, you just can't see it on the video."
