Ideal for narrow pickup beds . Nice product

These are junk. Will not adjust (tighten) any more once they touch the wall I thought it was just me, but let 2 other guys try to make them work they threw then in the corner with the rest of the scrap. I was convinced I could not be that stupid and tried again to squeeze them and just by hand and with some force applied I managed to strip the adjustment cogs. They still never adjusted tight enough to hold themselves in place. I have other long load bars so i just cut them off to make them short enough to use for this application. I would send them back but shipping and restocking is not worth the money. Lesson learned.

I bought this thinking it would be a solution to stuff sliding ahead in the pickup bed. it's ok for this, but the ratchet steps are pretty course so it goes from not quite tight "enough" to pushing the sides of the box out in one click. the tube is about 1" in diameter so it has a good amount of flex in it. I wouldn't trust that it will stop anything of any mass from moving arround. am I happy with it, meh, not really, but am I unhappy enough to send it back... probably not...
