For my last bike, I just bought the cheapest ones I could find on ebay.
I prefered using them to tension the chain, rather than having to pull/push the wheel.
They didn't become loose over time or anything, but I did check my chain tension regularly, and take my rear wheel off for transporting bike, so maybe I didn't give it time to get loose.
Easily fixed though, just quarter turn (or less) of the nut and it'll tension (or loosen) as required.
