try chaining something to them (at least at the end that isn't being used). Something that will float (pull buoy). I've noticed that most pools seem to have 1 when they have 8-10 lanes to put in. At less than $10---have a few of the darn things hanging around to speed things up!

I bought mine at Sears. It's a Craftsman brand.

Nothing as frustrating as not having a wrench when you need one! I bought a few over the years at Sears and used to carry one of my own in my coaching briefcase so it wouldn't "walk away."

Ours seem to sprout legs and walk away from the pool without consulting us.:bolt: And this is why the turnbuckle tightening system is much better, IMO. Kiefer does sell the wrenches, by the way.

Local hardware store or big box home improvement center? Google for "ratcheting box wrench". I think you will find what you're looking for. Failing that, I'll bet Kiefer sells something.
