Pros & Cons
Pros
The locking mechanism is easy to use, and the keys are large enough so you won't lose them or risk breaking them in the locking assembly. Alan wrenches to tighten built into each bar. Each bar has two vehicle *. Tip - when measuring, secure * enough t... Read More
Great product at a fraction of the cost of other brands. Seem to do the trick. For me, i feel they were worth the money. Awesome product though.
