Kolpin 21570 Black 1.5" Rhino Grip, 2 Count (Pack of 1)

These grips are great! I was looking for a way to mount a shovel and an axe to the factory roof rack of my SUV. Most of the options I found cost upwards of $75, a set of two Kolpin Rhino Grips cost $12. I purchased two pairs—one to mount a shovel and another to mount an axe.To create a mounting system for the grips, I used electrical conduit hangers (Hose clamps can also be used), which cost about $2 each. Combined with a few bolts, nuts, and washers, my mounting points cost less than $4 each.The result is an inexpensive, versatile, and secure mounting system that holds a full-size shovel (42 inches long, 3.5 lbs) and a full-size axe (28 inches long, 6.3 lbs). The straps are a bit rigid and difficult to lock into place. But they work well. I have driven thousands of highway miles using the Kolpin Rhino Grips, and my shovel and axe have remained fully secure. In addition to highway and city driving, I've also logged many miles on trails, crossing creeks, navigating washboard trails and fire trails over rocks, and tackling ruts. The Kolpin Rhino Grips have kept my tools 100% secure every single mile.These grips are fantastic—they get the job done with no worries about your tools flying off your vehicle!

Worked perfectly and holds items securely

Should have read the discription more closely I was thinking these were smaller. They are still usable just not for my initial pourpose

Easy to install and grips all tools very firmly.

If you own a g…. “Garden Hoe” and want to keep your hoe close to your bed… buy these guys! Put it anywhere you want.

Let's be real right out of the gate. If you can get these into the smallest notch you're some kind of superhuman. Don't even need a lock for them because if anyone attemps to steal you stuff they will just give up! That aside, these are far more robust than I had anticipated. Have no worries about my secured items coming loose. Getting them out? Well that takes some force. I live in a cold climate so the rubber stays extremely rigid for more than a few months out of the year. But I'm using this to secure items I don't need constantly. If it's for an item you want to access regularly look elsewhere. Otherwise these things are great!

Worked good until I needed the shovel. Then the strap broke when I went to put the shovel back. I bought this over the summer so I haven't had it for very long.

I bought these and they worked great for traveling I use them to secure my shovel on my roof basket. They are a great value for the price and are pretty sturdy. I think the negative reviews are from people who don’t understand the width or the capacity weight of what it can hold only. They probably try to mount something larger or heavier then what these strap can handle and end up breaking it. I suggest do your research and figure out what size and weight you tend to use it for before buying. Anyways I like these so much I bought a second set just in case if I need to mount something else. Later down the road.
