I've used these before and they worked fine.
You have to file down the relief part that normally sits in a rear facing drop out though. It took all of about two minutes and then you have a strong, cheap, though ugly tensioner. I would say though that they are quite thick so you have to have a bit of extra length on the axle (I was using Goldtecs which are bolt on so that matters less)
There you go. Perfectly executed.
