I was originally disappointed with these mounts. I had read where people had issues with using them or tightening them on tool handles.1. Make sure you have the correct size, the original may be too big.2. The outer end/ finger of the mount MUST go through the hole in the buckle or tab end.If you follow those simple rules they work great. Initially my axe handle was a loose fit, once I used the mount correctly it not only held the tool tightly, but was MUCH easier to cinch down. As long as the rubber lasts a while I think these are a fantastic product that actually works as advertised, that is rare these days! And they mount with ONE 10 flat head screw, less holes in mounting plates or in my case my trailer wheel arch.
