Is it hard to attach chain tensioners? What do they look like? What are
they for (In less blatant terms)? Can you get them anywhere or like UDC?
Thanks.

Most Bike shops should have them, or be able to order them.
Usually all they you have to do is take off the outside locknuts, slip
on the tensioners, and put the lock nuts back on (only tightening the
lock nuts AFTER tensioning the chain).
