Tilt Window Spiral Balance Tensioning Tool

Just what I needed

I chose this tool over the other suggested tools because it looked like it was better designed at the same pricing point. For my purpose, this tool did the job without any modifications. Since I can't compare to any others, I would recommend this in addition to changing my "Tilt Window Spiral Balance".

This tool was what I needed to attempt to adjust the spiral balances on my windows.It is fairly heavy duty, not anything that would end up breaking after a few uses.

works perfectly, did the job!

Balance tension tool is well made, but a little tricky to use. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to use it on my windows. It slipped off once and I thought the balance spring had broken. After I got the hang of it everything went well. Typical learning curve if you haven't adjusted tension rods before - and I hadn't. There are good how to do it videos on Utube. The shipping is expensive.

It works well but takes a little practice. Once you get hang of it, you’re in good shape to properly tension double sash spring detents.

It’s a good little tool for spiral balance springs.

This tool has saved us from forn up knuckles! Makes replacing the balances in our windows a snap to do! Wish we knew about this tool earlier!
