💪 Apexstone 200N/45LB 10 inch Gas Struts - Set of 2, Lift Support for Lids, Gas Springs for Better Shock Absorption, Improved Lid Stay and Support Review

The arm that attaches the stand is cheap metal and bent under the force of the stand when I first closed the lid. Seriously, the first time. Then, while pulling the rod off the ball end of the recoil mount, one of the clips on the ends of the rod broke. It's really dangerous. This small clip prevents the jamb from falling off the bracket and the door/lid closing upside down. The lid over my garage sink is within the weight range

These struts are great if you know what you're getting into and highly recommend if you know what you're doing. As others have said they don't come with instructions but each lid is a different size and weight so the standard placement instructions won't work anyway. I used one on each side of my storage container, the lid weighs about 40 pounds and these racks get the job done with no problem.

It doesn't take long to open, so be careful NOT to remove the clips by trying to slide them up on the ends. . After you remove the…

I recently built a walnut and cherry hidden box. I wanted to hang it on the wall like a dressing table and leave the lid open so I bought this product. I followed the directions to the tee and they worked like a charm on the first try. I was excited until I went to finish the box. Somebody clip failed after only 2 opening hours. This resulted in the cylinder crashing into the top of my cabinet, destroying some very expensive walnuts in the process. I can't believe how cheap the unit was. Will…

I looked at the luggage racks for my 1995 Eurovan Winnebago Full Camper on GoWesty and BusDepot. I found the prices to be quite high and prefer to order from Revain as shipping is convenient for my Prime account etc. The original frames cost £40. They are very close to 45 pounds. Compared to the originals, these struts are slightly shorter when compressed and slightly longer when extended. It simply means that they are fully compatible. I installed them in under 10 minutes using OEM mounting…
