Review on Kimpex 937160 Handlebar Heater Warmer by Ron Damndjperiod

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great set for warming hands and thumbs. Fits Tusk Hand and Thumb Warmer Set

Well, I've been using Tusk hand warmers on my ATVs for years, but you can't find them at an ATM. After doing a little research and looking at all the options, I settled on this one. One of the things that made me go down this route was that they have rotary knob heat control instead of an electric knob. Which I had rotted on two sets of Tusk hand warmers. What I also initially liked was that they weren't made in China. Chinese hand warmers never last long and are rubbish. They are made in Taiwan and believe me their material has a much higher build quality. My Tusk hand warmer switch was dead/dying and wouldn't stay on so it got very cold during our MT winters. The hand warmer and thumb warmer still worked but not the switch and you can't just find the Tusk switch which they sell separately. So while waiting for them, I removed the old derailleur and thumb warmer from the bike to prepare to add them. But I left the cranks on because I still had to use my bike. I was pleasantly surprised when they arrived and the connections on the switch and on the hand and thumb warmers were exactly the same as the Tusk brand. I added a new switch and installed a thumb warmer, plugged in the grips and turned everything on. bam! everything worked like clockwork. Great set, I like the dial adjustment better than the button layout. The downside is that it's almost impossible to adjust the grip while wearing gloves compared to pushing the button on a tusk set. But I have two new hand warmers to put on if one of them fails and I haven't had to bother with clipping the old ones and putting on the new ones, which can be a problem. I highly recommend them.
