Union Toe and Ankle Strap Tool-less Adjusters Black

The Union Toe and Ankle Strap Tool-less Adjusters Black kit replaces the length-adjustment screws on compatible straps. It also lets you replace a conventional screw adjuster with the appropriate tool-less fitting. This is useful when a small adjuster has gone missing or when you want to change strap length without carrying a screwdriver to each adjustment. The kit works at the strap's adjustment point, separate from the ratchet that tightens around the boot.

You receive two toe adjuster screws and two ankle adjuster screws. The different positions are identified for a reason: keep the toe and ankle components in their intended places rather than treating the pack as four identical loose screws. Preparing the parts beside the binding makes a small repair more straightforward. The mesh carrying bag keeps the unused pieces organised when the set travels with your normal spare hardware.

The components use grade 8.8 steel and provide a hand-operated adjustment system. When correctly fitted, they allow the strap's length setting to be changed without a separate tool. That setting determines where the padded or structured part of the strap sits across the boot. The ratchet then supplies everyday tightening. Separating those two jobs helps when a strap sits off-centre: pulling the ratchet harder is not the same as correcting the strap length.

Union lists Exoframe 2.0 through 5.0 ankle straps, Forma Lab and Forma Elite ankle straps, plus its toe straps for this kit. Check the actual adjuster interface on your binding before fitting. A strap from another generation may have been installed during a previous repair, so its model can matter more than the name printed on the highback. Bring the old adjuster if you want us to compare the connection.

To set the length, place the boot fully into the binding and centre the strap over the area it is designed to hold. Choose the appropriate adjustment position, engage the fitting correctly and secure it according to Union's instructions. Then test the closing and release range with the boot in place. Make sure the strap can tighten properly without the ratchet running out of useful ladder. Check the adjusters as part of your normal binding inspection, remove trapped grit and dry the parts after use. If the strap attachment itself is damaged, address that alongside the missing screw. Matching straps and other repair items are available in our Union range.
