A control cable adjuster device (Figure 1) for connection into and tensioning of a control cable run includes a termination member rod 12 extending into a tubular housing 11. Collets 13 biassed by a circumferential spring 17 co-act with serrations 12a on the rod 12. A helical spring 19 acts to induce tension in the cable run. Engagement of part frusto-conical faces 15 on the collets 13 with a frusto-conical face 16 on the tubular housing 11 acts to urge the collets into locking engagement with the rod 12. A restraint means (30, 40) serves to hold the rod in the extended position during connection of the device into the cable run and is released to place the device in service. The restraint means includes an axially moveable release tube 13 located for restricted axial movement on the tubular housing 11 and formed with an eccentric counter-bore 37b. A locking member 40 is formed with an eccentric boss 41 located in the eccentric counter-bore 37b and inwardly directed serrations, such that rotation of the locking member through a restricted arc brings the serrations into engagement with the serrations 12a on the rod 12 axially to lock the rod.
