Fits my 2008 Toyota Tundra

No problem with my 2008 Toyota Tundra. A lot of reviews say the stands need to be trimmed, but I didn't find it necessary at all on my truck. Yes, they stick out a little more than usual, but they don't exactly touch the hood either. The only reason I would cut them is for aesthetics. But no one looks under my hood but me! The reason I took off a star was because of the wing nuts. As most reviews say, the lip on the bracket interferes with tightening the wing nuts. It was a simple fix: takeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • old

Bad item for parts

This item did not fit my Honda Accord. The screws are too long, got into the hood, I had to cut off about half the thread. The top is too flimsy and missing a second screw to hold the two pieces together. I had to drill a hole and attach the two sliders with a second screw. My Accord battery was also too narrow to be securely gripped by the top, I had to cut a piece off one of the pieces (the end with the screw hole) to be able to push the tops even closer together. The hooks are not cut soโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good item
Cons

The screws are NOT 8 inches long! The whole knot is thin.

I ordered this because I needed to replace one of the 8 inch battery terminal bolts on my Nissan Xterra. I ordered this unit on purpose because it was advertised as having an 8 inch screw length. When installing this unit I found the entire top "bar" very fiddly and difficult to adjust, it appeared to be fully tightened only to fully loosen after about a quarter turn. Once I got everything in place, I found that the studs were sticking out a full 2 inches higher than they should be. Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Operating speed

Needed minor modifications, works fine now

When I bought my truck (used) I found that the battery was held by gravity and the battery cable was tight. SUV 4x4? Not good enough in my book! To install this I first had to drill a few holes in my J-bolt battery box. Then I put the battery back in and marked the length. When you cut the bolts, pass the nut or the wing nut provided past where you will cut them. Then when you're done with the hacksaw, you can unscrew the nut to make sure the thread still works. I cut them to size and installed

Pros
  • Trial version for one year
Cons
  • Available in white only

Bad design, product description wrong

This set has so many design mistakes. L-Bolts are over 9 inches long, not 8 inches as stated in the product description. Make sure they fit under the hood as they are too tall to cover the hood of the car. The main downside to this is the L-shaped knee, which has to fit into the metal loop at the base of the battery and holds the battery in place when attached to the top bracket and tightened. Being L-shaped rather than J-shaped, the bolts slip around the bottom bracket and slip off when youโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some mistakes

A marvel of engineering absurdity

Let's start by saying that purchase is about the only car battery holder game in town. It is made entirely of metal, and the details are high quality and made with care for quality. Unfortunately it seems that after developing the product they never tried it as it is not possible to connect any type of battery to it. As stated in the reviews, the roads are shaped like an "L" not a "J". You'll need a vise and a hammer to fix this: remember roads aren't easy to bend. There are wing nuts thatโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • A dubious purchase for the elderly

A good and strong UNIVERSAL battery lasts

Before that I read several reviews about it. This is a universal battery holder. This means you may need to make some changes. It's beautiful, durable and works well. The terminal screws are very long so you will probably have to cut them off. I just slipped them in and marked about an inch higher - took them out and cut them off. Light. Clamp bolts are L-shaped rather than J-shaped or hook-shaped. Light. I just clamped them in a vise and hit the end with a hammer. Boom, they're now J to Vโ€ฆ

Pros
  • While I am satisfied with
Cons
  • I will write later
