I see that several vendors sell manual tensioners. The prices are all over the map.
- Alba $180
- Sparks $125
- K&T $125

They all look about the same in the photos. Beyond brand preference, is there any difference in machining, materials, or quality that would make one cost $125 and another cost $180?

Boondocker has an automatic manual tensioner. I think it is spring loaded like cars.

You dont want a manual tensioner, they suck, the Bonndockers is the best you can buy.
