The clamping cams on the Thule are pretty stiff, but you only have to set them once. After that, all of the adjustments are done with the bolts. If you had invested a few bucks in either a bar clamp or Channel Locks slip joint pliers at your hardware store, you would be using your rack right now and would have the tool or tools for other uses the rest of your life.
