I've broken a couple skewers by over tightening them. It's been super easy to adjust with the chain tug.
FYI- these star tensioners work great with older horizontal dropout road conversions. I ran one for a while and it worked great. You do have to file off a tab on the back though, but it's soft metal and goes quickly. I only took it off because it was not really necessary for my bike.
