Great... except for one small hardware issue

The flashlight is great! super bright. i ride mostly w/ a strobe, and i can see reflectors off signs almost 4 blocks down the road. the only reason I'm not giving 5 stars, is because the hardware that you use to tighten the flashlight to the mount fell out after casual everyday riding. the freedom allowed for the bolt to wiggle free like that should be fixed. other than that super bright and a great light to have even off your bike.

I love the RAM mounting system. The aluminum parts are all extremely sturdy feeling, and seem to hold really tightly. I have yet to actually take the unit out on the road, but I'm sure it will function perfectly.
The only problem I've had with this particular system is the Motorcycle Stem Mount portion, which I cannot get tight enough to keep from twisting around. The instructions lead you to believe that the rubber stem piece can be tightened to a point where it will not budge, but my rubber piece and bolt seem to be stationary while the actual aluminum piece spins relatively freely with only a little bit of resistance, especially with the leverage of the rest of the RAM mount.
I will likely look to trade that end/mount piece for a more permanent bolt-on one in the future.
However, for my lightweight GoPro camera, I'm sure this will work fine for now.

I got this installed very easily with a drill and driver (after doing some measurements and marking the location of my studs on the wall). The rack seems very sturdy and is holding four 50-lbs wheels&tires with no problem.

The only installation issue I had was when I opened the box (which, by the way, seemed packaged just fine to me), the three sets of expanding rods were exactly the same, when the instructions list that there should be two fatter sets and one slightly skinnier set.
I ended up calling the manufacturer for a quick check and ended up with a very strange conversation, with me getting upset that the rep wouldn't acknowledge any discrepancy and leaving me a bit confused.

Sometime after that call, I downloaded the instructions from the manufacturer just so I could have an electronic copy on file. Those instructions have apparently been updated to show three matching sets of rods, which was consistent with the hardware I got. I guess I just got an old set of instructions with a new set of hardware, which caused my confusion.
Please nobody end up worried about this like I had to be!

Way better than the old stock mount.  God, who doesn't hate those things.  Anyway, the only issue is that my 9500ix doesn't fully 'click' onto it...meaning you don't have to push the button to get it off, just pull.  Even though it doesn't seem secure, it doesn't go anywhere.  I just went 700mi in two days with no issues.

ten business days from order to delivery... very well packed, but I had to wonder why considering how tough these are.  one star off for lack of mounting hardware.  the hcsr04 lines up well with the four holes, but this cannot be used as a 'friction' mount as some others are.  will need to hunt for the tiny screws necessary for a secure mount.  Providing the screws would have been a nice extra, and worth paying for.

I'm really impressed by both the power of the magnet and the size of the unit. It's perfect. It's attractive, and it holds all my important knives up on the wall. Totally cool, exactly what I imagined. Except for one thing: the mounting hardware that comes with it is plastic anchors and screws. I don't know about you, but I wasn't thrilled with the prospect of five or six pounds worth of highly sharpened steel being supported solely by plastic anchors. It seems pretty self-evident to me that the amount of effort it takes to pull the knives off the magnet would inevitably lead to the anchors being pulled out, even if the weight of the knives wouldn't be enough to do so. Long story short, I hung mine using toggle bolts. That bad chicken isn't going ANYWHERE now. I would suggest that anyone who hangs this thing do the same.

Overall a great product.  I am a weekend warrior as far as electrical, plumbing, etc.  A word of caution:  The screws for the white and black wire are not supposed to screw all the way out.  Specifically, when you loosen them to wrap wire around don't go any further after they stop.  If you do then the screws will come out of the hole and it will be a son-of-a-b**** get them to screw back in.  I ended up replacing one with a self-tapping sheet metal screw.  The screws that come attached could be a bit longer as in my case there wasn't enough space to wrap the wire around I kept unscrewing until the darn screw came free from the hole.  My fault - should have stopped when it felt tight (which obviously was a sign when you're unscrewing that there is a built in stop!)

Works great.  Slight assembly issue, holder became loose quickly.

I would give this 5 stars but there are a couple of frustrating issues that the manufacturer should address if they want 5 stars.  First, the hardware was tossed loose into the box as if it were an afterthought.  There was a screw sitting on top of the wood (paperboard, really) with no padding between the wood and the screw and the top of the box.  Luckily, there was no damage.  I had to dig around for most of the other hardware.  About half was in the ziplock bag where it belonged.  The box had certainly not been opened or returned because all of the foam padding and wrap was where it was supposed to be and it tears very easily so, had it been opened before, that wrap would have been torn up.

The other problem is the plug for the footpedals.  I purchased this to get the three foot pedals yet when I put it all together I couldn't find any connector on the keyboard for the pedals.  The single pedal that came with the Coda Pro keyboard has a 1/4-inch phono plug and the keyboard has a place on the back for that.  I read the instructions carefully and thoroughly for both the keyboard and for the stand and there's no mention of the appropriate jack - which, by the way, is underneath the keyboard, near the back, centered along the bottom back.  I only found out about it when I checked one more time before submitting a request to return the keyboard.  The instructions for connecting it properly should be in both manuals since the jack is on the piano and the plug on the stand.

The second reason I was going to return it was missing hardware.  With much of the hardware simply thrown in the box, when I didn't find the four rotating nuts, I was sure they were lost.  I finally found them already inserted into the bottom cross brace where they go.  I had tried to inventory the parts before starting as is my practice.  Once again, the documentation should have pointed out that the nuts were installed or not install them.

Oh, it should have another cross brace along the top back.  Any sideways pressure on this and it would collapse easily.  A second brace across the top back would make it much more solid.

So, what's good about it?  Well, it truly was easy to assemble.  It holds the keyboard securely.  I don't hear the clicking that others complained about in the stand or in the foot pedals.  Once properly assembled, it is a nice setup for the money.

So, I took away one star for the frustration of figuring it all out.

This is a very good product, very sturdy, easy to install, swivels and tilts readily.  The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that I had to go to the hardware store and pick up a metric 5m tap to clean/re-thread the threaded holes on the extension arms.  They had been painted after the threaded holes had been machined, clogging the threads so badly that I was concerned I would stip the thread attempting to mount the screw, a fairly amazing manufacturing flaw.

Putting this cabinet together was a dream. The instructions were clear, the hardware was packaged beautifully (no missing pieces and they even included extras!), and all parts were very clearly marked.  We had no trouble at all putting everything together.  The problems began when we tried to put the drawers in the cabinet.  They wouldn't slide in the way they were supposed to.  We realized a few of the little metal clips holding the ball bearings were bent - and ball bearings were missing.  I've contacted the company for replacement parts; let's see what happens.  Other than the fact that I can't use it as a file cabinet, it's a solid and well built piece of furniture!

Really great product overall. The build is all aluminum and the hanger curves to the shape of the headset. Two things that bothered me were: 1 - I have it clamped at the right side edge of my table and whenever I accidentally hit it the hanger swivels left or right depending on how it was hit. 2 - I was really hoping it was tool-less. If a large enough knob were added all would have been easy for lazy people like me haha, but seriously though it would have helped a lot. The allen wrench could also have been used to tighten the clamp, but the only thing it does is change orientation of the holder. That would also have helped in making a continuity in the design aspect so to speak. Why have 2 tools to use when one is already provided. Just my 2 cents here. I do love the product though overall.
Edit: Looked at the allen and the other was a flat head. I feel stupid.

I love this little guy and would give 5 stars if not for one tragic flaw:  The lock screw always breaks.  After a few months, the little knob that keeps the locking bolt from coming off breaks and then you can lock the corkscrew closed.  Since the product is so inexpensive, I just buy a new one, but I have had to replace mine 5 times.  They all break the same way.  If they can find a way to improve this and make it longer lasting, I would give it 5 stars.

Although unit was easy to install and the features are awesome...the durability of the hardware (male/female wiring leads) were slightly disappointing.  Additional caution is required when operating seats, not always feasible in a van full of active children. Overall, still very pleased with everything else about this transaction and the product.  Still recommend...

Beautiful product, easy to install (if all the hardware shows up) and looks great.  would have been 5 stars but the company wouldn't correct hardware problem

This product is almost perfect...  The quality of all the parts is top notch and everything is very well built.  My main problem is the design of their mounting system.  Basically you drill a 1 inch hole wherever you want to mount this, and then insert the whole thing, starting with the cable into the hole from the front and once seated, you screw down the outer ring.  Screwing down this ring compresses a rubber sleeve over the part you inserted into the hole, causing it to expand and "lock" the whole thing in place.  Overall, a very clever system where you don't have to feed anything through the whole from behind and can do all the work on the front side of the hole.  The problem comes in when you are installing this in a piece of thin material like a steel plate.  Without any real thickness of material to grab onto you can't really get things tight enough to stay in place and not move.  If you were drilling into something that was maybe 1/4 inch or more, I think you would be fine, but 1/8 or 1/16 plate doesn't really work very well.  I ended up feeding the socket through the rear of the hole in my case, discarding part of the cover, and then using the lock ring in a more traditional way to clamp things through the hole.  This works pretty well, but since the lock ring is meant to compress the rubber sleeve, it still does that and you can't really tighten it up quite as much as I would like.  Ideally I'd love to see them come out with a model that was meant to clamp on the surface it is mounted to from the front and back in addition to this model.  I can see where this model would be perfect in many situations, but not quite for me.

I love this product, it has served its purpose wonderfully and i am very pleased, however the rack screws it comes with are Terrible!! They are hard to get into their own product, and then i went to use them in another Skb roll-x series rack enclosures and it got jammed and stripped. Yippie! not that big of a deal, however if you care about your equipment and ease of use, buy some rack screws separately.

Besides the rant of the screws this rack has served itself. Very useful, and a very cheap solution, however i would try my best to make sure its for a permanent set up, it leaves the equipment very exposed.

Great product, But save frustration and buy yourself some rack screws separately
