Review on πŸ” VOCOMO Soft Close Lid Support, 250N Heavy Duty Hinges Gas Struts with Automatic Slow Lowering, Safety Pneumatic Lid Lifters and Gas Springs (2 Pack) by Nick Henning

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The hinges work well. Support heavy loads. Need better documentation.

I made raised beds to keep my chickens and other wild animals from eating our vegetables. Each of the lids are 5ft x 4K and due to the wood and machine fabric, the lids are not lightweight. I wanted to add something to hold the lids while gardening. I tried two simple plungers but the weight was too much and the lids slowly started to close after a few minutes and then suddenly fell off. Very dangerous. So I bought these reinforced Vocomo hinges and mounted them on the hitches. They work great. There are no complaints about the product. The only problem is that the instructions were almost non-existent. The previous pistons I have used came with instructions detailing the location of where each end of the piston should go to get the correct flare angles you want. These docomos didn't have that and I had to find out for myself. I haven't studied trigonometry for several years, but I figured it out. Aside from the lack of instructions, I recommend these hinges.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Useless Functions
