I wanted a paracord tensioner which had the following properties
- Enclosed - stays put when not in use
- Latched - watched can be easily enabled/disabled
You'll need a 8mm M3 bolt to hold the two sides together and a small rubber band (loom band is ideal). if you want the latching operation you'll also want a 20mm M3 bolt to attach the handles.
It's possible to thread the paracord through by latching it open and using something pointy to push the cord around, but easier to do it open. Make sure to get the match piece the right way around (see image).
Attach hole to a standing line, then pull on the top end to tighten - shortening the load side and holding it tight. To release push the handle down, latching it open, and the chord moves freely in both directions
