Review on ๐Ÿ”’ Uriah Products UV002500 Adjustable Universal Crossbar Battery Hold Down - Secure your battery with ease! by Jarrett Francis

Revainrating 2 out of 5

A marvel of engineering absurdity

Let's start by saying that purchase is about the only car battery holder game in town. It is made entirely of metal, and the details are high quality and made with care for quality. Unfortunately it seems that after developing the product they never tried it as it is not possible to connect any type of battery to it. As stated in the reviews, the roads are shaped like an "L" not a "J". You'll need a vise and a hammer to fix this: remember roads aren't easy to bend. There are wing nuts that should tighten the crossbar to hold the battery in place, but they can't. There are protrusions on the crossbar that prevent the nuts from slipping off the surface. You'll need a couple of washers to get the job done. It is also possible that the new roads are too high and you cannot close the hood. Well, I think everything else is fine. I ended up just using a cross member, old roads and nuts just because it was too much of a hassle to send them back.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • A dubious purchase for the elderly
