Need to hand place cable into jaws
Definately works. Like all new tools there is a learning curve. On very flexible cables or cables previously installed with a bend or kink at the end of the cable, will have to hand place/feed cable into jaws. Can be used to tighten or loosen cable. Make sure locking-cam is rotated into place. Will need to tighten the brake cable clamping bolt in between when running-out of travel adjustment on tool. To loosen need to manually release locking-cam and slowly release hand and "re-engage" locking-cam. For tightening locking-cam self-locks as the lever is squeezed as long as cam is in position. I also use a soft-jawed trigger clamping bar to keep brake caliper in place while adjusting brake cable. Ordered a vintage spring steel third-hand brake caliper clamp when I saw another biking enthusiast using one to adjust brakes. (Don't know why they no longer make them, since the coiled spring "third-hand" only works on narrow brakes.) FYI, the third hand brake caliper clamp is why this tool is called a "fourth" hand. Wanted to give this tool 3-1/2 stars, but no half stars. If there were a feature to keep cable in the jaw, tool would be nearly perfect. Addition of a bent up finger tab and light spring to keep locking-cam engaged along with cable keep feature for jaw would make tool perfect.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

This is where the good Tensioners begin
Thanks Pedro! I purchased a 'cheaper' cable puller to set the cables on a road bike I'm building and found out right away why they are cheaper. Its the thickness of the working parts. When you slip the cheaper one in place and pull on the cable, the thinner metal pushing against the cable allows the cable to 'accidentally' wedge behind it. Now the work really begins! you have to get the puller off the wedged in cable! If you are really looking for a good cable puller that doesn't cause problems, start with Pedro's and not the cheaper imitation knock off. Its well worth the extra and you can use it for what it's intended without incident.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Replacing Cables Just Got Easier
Pedro’s makes quality tools, and this one is no exception. The tool has already earned its keep while doing a job to replace shifter cables on a mountain bike. I doubt I could’ve pulled the cables tight enough without this tool. The thumb lock is a must! Most cheaper versions of this tool lack that feature.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A must have.
Works like a charm , makes cable adjusting precise and easy, really there is no struggle to hold a cable and adjust. You simply put the cable in give it a little squeeze till the cable is where you want it ,then lock the tool and the cable stays put so you can fine tune and set your brake or detailer then tighten down the cable when all is right with the world. This tool is made very well and is simple to use.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great cable puller!
As a cycle assembler for a big company, this little gadget saves major time without fumbling around with pliers. The thumb lock keeps the cable puller locked in on the right tension you adjust it to. You can literally let go of it and it will stay attached to the cable like a pit bull! I save about 5-10 minutes per bike. I highly recommend this product to any professional as well as the weekend warrior! A real winner!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Buy nice, not twice!
Although it looks very similar to the $9.99 copies, they are not comparable. The jaws on the Pedro's tool are stamped from thicker steel, and the tolerances are tighter. This is what is lacking on the cheap version, in which there is enough slack between the jaws and body of the pliers that it will allow the cable to slide between, bruising the cable. The damage that causes will be apparent when you go to cut the end off, and the wire will already be un twisted, making it difficult to impossible to crimp the end cap on. TL:DR, do your self a favor and get these the first time.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Pedro's Fourth Hand Tool
The Pedro's fourth hand tool is almost identical to Park's tool but is much more flat when it is stored. I have a repair kit in my vehicle which I'm trying to keep as compact as possible and this tool is perfect for that aspect. In use it functions just like the Park tools.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Much better than pliers
I must be all thumbs because I had a difficult time making it work with my rear derailleur...but I eventually got it. The auto lock mechanism is a must and I’m glad it worked as described. This definitely worked better than a pair of pliers. This will work very well on rim brake cables. Am I glad I bought it?....YES!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good tool / excellent value
Great value and works very well. Likely not as robust as the Park Tool, which is twice the price. It has a simple job and it does it well.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great tool for any bike tinkerer!
Works like a dream for adjusting brakes. You know how you get it ALMOST adjusted correctly but there is still a little too much lever pull? This fourth hand tool is the answer to add that little bit of tension with ONE hand while you tighten the pinch bolt with the other. WINNER!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
