Spreader Tool

Never was able to get the spreader tool to work. It would slide off every time the pressure built. Ended up buying the recommended device from Harbor Freight and all went well

Great tool that made slinging my chairs such a breeze.

It was a little difficult to use this, since the ends would pop off the chair. I improvised and had clamps hold down the ends and it worked great.

The best review I can give is that the tool was exactly as described, worked perfectly and arrived promptly.

This thing does the job but be prepared to do work as well. You also might need to clamp it in place to keep it from slipping off the chair. All in all a good tool, price is probably a bit too high but, hey you need it you buy it.

So happy I got this. Was worth every penny and made it so easy to get the tension bars back on.

I could not have replaced my slings without this product. Although it is pretty expensive to but. Additionally, one of the screws appears to have bent slightly after use and won't screw all the way back in for storage. It is still good for the purpose just annoying.

I wasted 3-4 hours trying every way to stretch the new sling fabric on my patio chairs without buying this stretcher. From stretcher clamps, hinged wood, car jack, but the way the sides were not exactly parallel to each other. Everything I tried would just pop off before I got the stretch I needed. I gave in and bought this spreader. It worked perfectly and in 10 minutes, my spreader bars were in place and chair was completed. Should have got this to begin with, but live and learn. Cant wait to do my other 5 chairs now.

I could not have finished installing my new upholstered sling back chairs without the Slingmaster spreader tool.

Worked perfectly! i had been trying for months to reset the spacer bar on my patio sling chair. With this tool, i had the bar reset in a matter of MINUTES!!! I'm so glad I purchased the Spreader Tool

At first I had trouble keeping the tool to stay on the chair. It appeared that the tool was reaching it's limit and began to bow slightly causing the tool to slip off. After several trys, I used a C-Clamp on each side to hold the tool in place and it then worked well.

M husband and I replaced the slings on two swivel chairs, and two ottomans. The ottomans were easy, without the tool, because it was such a short run, and there were no tension bars to deal with. The chairs were another matter! We tried with a car jack, etc and it’s just wasn’t happening. Many hours wasted before we bought this tool, which did the job quick and easy.
