FAQs

What is the maximum block size these line stretchers can accommodate?

The Bon Tool Line Stretchers are adjustable and can accommodate block sizes from 4 inches up to 12 inches wide.

What material are the line stretchers made from?

They are made from durable cast aluminum.

Do I need to buy these individually?

No, the Bon Tool Line Stretchers are sold in pairs.

How do I adjust the line stretcher?

You adjust them by simply loosening the wing nut, sliding the stretcher to the desired position for your block width, and then retightening the wing nut.

While they can be used by DIYers, they are designed with heavy-duty construction for professional, daily use on job sites.

What safety precautions should I take?

Troubleshooting

Line stretcher does not hold position

Ensure the wing nut is tightened sufficiently. Check that the sliding mechanism is clean and free of debris that might prevent it from locking.

Difficulty adjusting to the correct width

Loosen the wing nut completely before attempting to slide the arms. If sticking occurs, clean the sliding surfaces and apply a light lubricant if necessary.

Line stretcher feels loose on the block

Verify that the stretcher arms are fully extended or retracted to securely grip the block width. Ensure the block edges are relatively clean and flat.
