Well done and does the job

What can you say? It's a barrel bolt! The finish is good. I've bought other brands where the end of the receiver is bent up and the bolt is difficult to insert. These worked great, very sturdy and straight. Makes installation quick and easy.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • There is negativity

Works well, screws are awfully cheap

If you're very careful with the screws, you can use the ones that come with this once this screwdriver slips off, even if you destroy the screw head. very soft metal. Of course you can use any screw if you need something stronger.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Other Other

Nothing about them is cheap. Strong little bars.

Almost everyone has seen fasteners like this. So it's no secret how they work. The metal is strong and beautifully painted. There aren't too many issues with this type of bar unless you buy something shoddy. And of course I would recommend them to those who use them for smaller needs. Mine are used on the doors of two rabbit hutches.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • A few minor things

DOES NOT WORK / RADIATION / NOISE HURT EARS / HORRIBLE

This was the most useless product I have ever bought. It only works when plugged into an outlet, but if plugged in outside and it's raining, there may be electrical issues. If you plug it into an outlet anywhere in the house, you can hear a horrific, piercing screech from over 10 feet away, even on the lowest settings. I tried installing this in my attic and it could be heard from the bedrooms too and it gave me migraines. .The worst part was when I tried to return it I had no choice! DO NOT…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable
