🔧 Barker Manufacturing Co. 31340 Universal Slidewinder: A Reliable Solution for Versatile Sliding Operations Review

These models are good value for money. I gave them three stars because what I would call a course correction only has three options, fully folded, mid-high. Since my push-up will never happen, it's close to average, but about an inch higher than when folded, that's 6 inches. I wish there were a few more options then this would be perfect. I got them to work with pieces of wood, but it wasn't nice to carry around more stuff just to use them.

We bought these slip stabilizers for our fifth wheel. We got them in January but didn't open them until we went camping this month. To our surprise, they were used. One was improperly assembled and had a striped screw. Plus the big jack didn't work. So it was totally useless. The other one was ok. I tried to see if I could come back but didn't see a place to. It was our fault for not opening it as soon as we received it. But it was described as new and is not.

Ordered these for a pull out bed from the back of our trailer. They work well but are definitely low-tech. The two-piece design (inner and outer sleeve) is confusing, with seemingly unimportant adjustment screws. In addition, storage means that they are either screwed down to the smallest size - which takes a lot of time and not so little - or stay screwed - long and bulky. With all of that, they do what they need to do for a reasonable price. I questioned the stability, thinking I had one…

Actually I would have preferred to give 4.5 stars but it seemed like a small change. Overall it works exactly as advertised. These are very strong jacks that are easy to set up and have greatly reduced the swaying of my 33ft trailer when people are moving. What worries me is that there were two packs of small screws in the box. The instructions don't mention screws anywhere and I couldn't figure out where to go. I haven't had any issues yet, but when you have steel jacks to support a 6,000 lb…

Four stars instead of five because while this is a great idea it was designed and built with some flaws. First, there are three basic positions for pole planting, namely: all the way down, about halfway up, and a top high enough (less than an inch from the top of the pole) that the inner pole can easily fold over. or wobble, and the little tip, stopping in slots cut in the outer tube, could (and does) detach from our simulated wind torque and slam into the ground, putting a heavy load on your…
