Is this rod a "true" tension rod? I just returned 2 "improved" tension rods from Kohl's because they did not allow rod to tighten?

Yes, it is a true tension rod, & works great. I have also found that the shower hooks glide over it more smoothly than any other shower rod I have owned before. I love it! The oil rubbed bronze color is perfect for my bathroom & shower curtain. Unlike one of the reviews, I really like the marble look finials. It adds so much more than a plain rod.

I love this tension rod!! I get many compliments and it is a tight hold! I never worry about if being pulled down.

We bought one that was a friction-fit only. Then we found another (on Amazon) that was threaded. You want the threaded version. -Richard &lt;&gt;&lt;

Should be. The tension is fully adjustable with an Allen wrench. It's a quality product.

Mine were "old stock" from a "clearance seller", so came with old style tensioners. I believe current stock comes with the "good tensioners with yellow plastic clips" (which I got later). I'll use "old style" tensioners as backup.

This is a tension rod, but because of the rubber pads and well thought out design, slippage is almost non-existent. We've been using it for months now with no problems.

It doesn't have a tensioner but I have some on my trailers and it all depends on how you tighten the nut and bult that holds the line spool. It will not spin out of control.

It is truly a tension rod yes. You are able to screw a pice to tighten it. We just had all marble put in and I didn't want screw anything in. Make sure the little pads are on the ends so wall is protected. It works great sturdy

This is good but limited. I think these rods have to be screwed in so I am assuming they would have to be by the same manufacturer. I upgraded to a more adaptable system where the rods could be adjusted by a screw grip on the sides. I gave the opteka away so don't have it anymore. I suppose the fact I got it and then gave it away and went for something else that could be adapted says it all as far as my experience is.

The tension knob MUST be aligned properly in the hole before tightening or it will NOT seat properly. It took me 4 tries before I got it seated properly and quite a few turns before it tightened enough to increase the tension.

You can adjust the tension to a degree. If you take the cover off, you'll see the cable that is adjustable. Gon' take it in too much, or the "shoe" that has the magnet on it will rub against the flywheel. I also put some small, round, hobby magnets on the original one to increase it even more, since as tou use it, you get stronger and even the increased resistance seems to be not enough. Hope this helps.

I personally don't like spring tensioners. I didn't use mine. I just let the cords hang and trimed the cords to my liking.

Mine came with enough tension such that it would not swivel unless tapped (with no socket attached) or moved by hand. There is a giant hex head bolt going through the swivel that you could probably tighten to adjust tension.

it's a tension rod - you have to twist it to just about the right length, then compress to fit it into the space.

It's a tension rod system. I don't actually own it, but I bought for my daughter-in-law and that's what she tells me.
