I may be on my own here, but I just use a C-Clamp. You compress the tensioner and it holds everything tight. In the past, I had a homemade tool to keep the tensioner tight, but the bolts bent, it jumped off and nearly took some flesh with it. I was in a hurry and didn't want to rebuild my homemade tool so I grabbed a C-Clamp and have been using it ever since.
Good luck.
