I would be more fearful of over tightening the metal clamp and getting it stuck :eek:

May the force (of your hand) be with you. :littleguy

These are very dangerous for girth work because they will cut off all blood supply if you tighten enough. Also, they press down on the nerve bundle more than say a bib starter.
For a wench they might be perfect because of the reasons previously listed and because you might be able to apply two of them for further adjustability of the hanger.

Oh, I see. So, the two loose ends of the strap come together at the knob to form a type of screw. The knob is a nut and tightening it pulls both loose ends through the nut.

This could be very effective as long as it doesn’t cut in to the Wenchette too harshly and the loose ends aren’t too hard to deal with.

Thanks, Penismith!

Don’t take this as a guarantee, but I think the failure mode of the metal clamps is that they slip open. The bearing surfaces wear down and the screw threads pop out of the slots in the band.
