Using the Park Tool BT - 2 Cable Stretcher is a breeze. First, find the bicycle derailleur or brake cable you want to work on. Then, use one hand to grab the cable with the stretcher and hold it in place. Pull the cable tight until you reach the perfect tension. Once you're satisfied, secure the pinch bolt. To keep the tension steady, use the ratcheting thumb lock. As for maintenance, keep it clean and dry. Wipe it down after each use. If it gets dirty, you can use a mild cleaner. Since it's made of chrome - plated heat - treated steel, it's quite durable, but avoid using it on cables that are way too thick or damaged, as this could affect its performance and lifespan.
