I'm pulling a car behind my RV. Will this help with the stone chips. Would like a temporary device for use while towing only.

Yes with some adaptation. I had to add some clips and reinforced the gromets with some glue. Picture hanger clips work great as they will hold between the wheel wells

I believe it is far too light to be of much protection against stones, max benefit from bugs though,

no good for ice or chipping. this is great for removing snow and will not hurt cement or black top. had my drive sealed in october and no signs of scrapes or markings. highly reccommend.

I purchased it for my uncle's 10 acre property, mostly to clean up brush and weeds. It does smooth the soil, and will move rocks and gravel around, but I dont think it would be effective to actually remove them. We did use it for grading some areas on the property that were heavy with gravel, but the gravel is still there - just leveled out.

No. I have the same type driveway and, periodically you will pick up stone. The state plow mixes snow with stone and, that mess is at the end of my driveway. I assume the stone will age my snow blower much quicker than if I were on concrete.

I believe it will pick up the stones with the nuts. It is a wonderful tool . When I first used it I accidentally picked up a magnolia tree burr and it wedged th splines open and my pecans fell out. I also found that twigs are not its friend. I actually am going to purchase the larger one for quicker gathering.

I used mine to drain the gear oil out of my rear axle. It was a little slow due to the weight of the oil but it worked just fine.

I have small stones as well. This little vacuum is so powerful that it will suck up small stones. The impellar is metal and you can hear it pinging around immediately so what I do is turn it off and shake out the stones. I did have a jam with a stone once and the impeller is so strong it cut into part of it and got lodged in. When this occurs the machine wines so I shut the machine off pried the stone out and the machine worked perfectly. I also noticed that when picking up leaves if you keep the vacuum at a lower to the ground angle it does not pick up rocks as well.

I bought this thing for my dad as a christmas gift. His car was broken into a month before, and he usually has the "club" in his car, but that particular night he wasn't using it. I can't really honestly answer your question. I don't use one on my car, and it works the same way as the traditional club. I do believe this thing will deter the random crack head from stealing your car, however, that being said, anybody with a hack saw (which can be purchased anywhere) could cut through the steering wheel and get the thing off. Its just cardboard or plastic. Take my words how you will, good luck. I bought this thing for my dad as a christmas gift.

I have and it worked great..even did some heavy mesh on it making something for my uncle. It was to put on his car behind his motor home so rocks wouldn't hit his car.

This is a GREAT tool for the garden. It would probably work for a while in a stone driveway BUT, I suspect it would quickly lose it's edge on the stones. If it were my driveway, I would spray it once per year with Ortho Groundclear Vegetation killer. I use the stuff around the perimeter of my garden and everywhere I don't want grass & weeds to grow. It works like a champ and actually lasts for about a year before you have to reapply!

I would not recommend these for anything that can move such as a trailer. This works best on a very stationary lift. Otherwise it can easily flip out from under what it is holding with terrible consequences. I've seen that happen twice already with mine. You'd think we would learn. This is a powerful jack and works great when used very carefully and under the right circumstances. Lifting a vehicle or trailer would be a very bad idea!!

I would say if it is like pea gravel or some type of small rock it may be helpful, but I'm afraid it would pick up larger landscaping type rock. When I use them to pick up leaves they even get some dirt

This puller attaches to the wheel studs, it is held in place with the lug nuts and can be used with the jacking screw as shown or fastened to a slide hammer. As long as the lug nuts match up to the holes I don't see why it wouldn't work.

We have been pulling by hand,- we go from camp site to dump station............ so guess it would depend on how far that would be for you.. Safe isn't an issue. More, how much energy do you have. Full it is heavy. The additional handle that you can buy is definitly worth it as it enables one to stand straight rather than stoop. It is a good product. They say one can pull behind car/truck as well. We have never had that great of a distance where we felt it necessary. We do like it. And would buy again.

I would definetly use it on a short wheel base vehicle. Pulling a trailer with a short wheel base is prone to alot of swerving especially in mountainous curvy terrain. Joe

I have a long gravel driveway and it works well. Better than a snowblower in my opinion. Just have to be sure not to go too deep and pick up the loose stone. A little practice is all it takes. I usually leave a thin layer of snow when I do my drive.

Hubby's right this time. I've used this tool to remove weeds and have found it works best with loose soil. Here in Chicago after our long, cold winter our soil is compact and needs to be loosened with good old-fashioned spade work before I can use this tool to pick up weeds. As the weather warms up and weeds sprout this continues to come in handy - saves my back.
