Description of Adjustable Cargo Bar 40-70 inches: Rapid Load Lock Rod with Strong Steel Construction for Pickups, Vans, and SUVs

X WE’VE ALL BEEN THERE. You come home from the supermarket and sigh, your pickup bed or van is strewn with squished groceries and milk bottles rolling around, your tool box shifted loose, and bags of soil exploded. It’s a mess and in order to retrieve anything, you have to climb inside the truck.... ✓ THE RAPID RATCHET CARGO BAR PROVIDES A RELIABLE SOLUTION! Mount this PREASSEMBLED ONE PIECE bar on the wall to contain cargo, keep packages from sliding around, and hold your groceries securely in place without the bother of tie-downs, close to the tailgate for EASY ACCESS. Just adjust the bar within an inch or so of the needed length, place between walls, and ratchet to tighten fully. See Images for SIMPLE instructions. ✓ This ADJUSTABLE LOAD LOCK is a minimum length of 40” (3’4”) and can be extended up to 70” (5’10”), making it PERFECT FOR full size, mini, and mid-sized PICKUP TRUCKS with bed widths ranging from the 49” Stepside to 69” Ford Super Duties, plus passenger vehicles like minivans and SUVs. With an ERGONOMIC handle, a weight of just 4.6 pounds, and a Two-Second Open & Close system (we timed it!), the ratcheting mechanism is FAST & EASY TO USE!. ✓ MADE OF STRONG STURDY STEEL that can withstand heavy tools banging into it as you climb up bumpy mountains and down rocky dirt paths. CLASSY LOOK: The 10/12” diameter exterior rod is a HANDSOME powder-coated steel and swivels in place; the 9/12” diameter interior rod is zinc plated steel. Both are RUST RESISTANT, though you may want to use a light coat of spray lube like WD40 to keep it completely safe through all the rain and mud. ✓ Will RELIABLY RESTRAIN AND support cargo like paint and gas cans, storage bins, dog crates, coolers, lawnmowers, and tools; NOT MADE to bear weight. ADD TO CART TO IMPROVE pickup life.

Bad design best in External accessories

Bad design. Can only be used in a place where you can stand up and have someone hold you in place. Very, very difficult to use alone in a confined space. It will not work for the purpose I bought it for. Bad design, someone should force the engineer who designed it to use it while lying on his back holding it over his head.

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • Only available in white

I'm a retired truck driver and this one is just as good as the commercial

Sturdy metal and the cargo lock is heavy. I am a retired truck driver and this one is just as good as the commercial one. Keep in mind that this requires a hard surface to press on. If you try to use it in a passenger car it won't work very well unless you can find support brackets to hold it in place.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • I'll add later

Terrible and dangerous.

This is the first review I have ever written. The first terrible package, wrapped in thick plastic that cannot be removed without a blade. The ratchet system is so clumsy it's almost impossible to install. and yes, it draws blood. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. It's installed now, but if I ever have to move or delete it, it'll probably end up in the trash.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

$17 off at Home Depot

I put 1 star because the exact bar is $20 at Home Depot and I'm pissed I didn't see it before I ordered and used it. In general it works great. I haven't tested this yet, but it seems that an object heavy enough can bend it if I hit the brakes hard enough if it hits with enough force. So by all means stack things directly against it so things don't have room to pick up steam. Otherwise it's pretty easy to use. The fully open handle allows sliding in either direction. The center handle is where…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Minor issues

Operation of all push bar functions

I actually requested some kind of diagram and/or instructions on the trigger mechanism (I still haven't received those instructions so I'm just guessing an easier way to unlock the mechanism so that even a 70 year old (my age) can easily perform this function.I had a hell of a time trying to free the bar as there were no instructions to see I don't remember exactly what I did to Approving the item but a set of reasonable instructions in minimal quantity would have been extremely helpful.That…

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Some issues
