You only need to purchase a large screw type chain link to clip your safety hooks into. We did this and ours now works great. Most large hardware retailers would have these. We purchased ours at Menards.

I purchased the tekton to get spring loaded screws off of rotors with no problems. I looked at the $30 set and glad I bought the Tekron. I used it on two cars soo far with no problems. quality made.

I'm not sure if you seen this, just got this emailed to me by Tether Tools. http://www.shop.tethertools.com/TetherBoost-Core-Controller-TBUSB30.htm?utm_source=facebook&utm;_medium=cpc&utm;_campaign=TetherBoost

I believe you will have no problems using the Tekton set with this wrench. Bits should fit into the slot or can be used with an adapter on the other side.

Instead of buying the longer bolts from Thule I just went to my local hardware store bought 3 1/2" stainless bolts and thumbs screws. After a season the Thule bolts have spots of rust the SS SEA 8 do not. I did this for both Hull-a-Port PRO 835PRO and Glide and Set 883. I've tried to use the bolt up through the center, but in the end I didn't trust it with a $3k yak. I did have to buy even longer for the Hull-a-port but I can't remember how long now probably 3 3/4 or 4".

Hello, Maybe I can help. The hook was introduced by Victorinox in their larger knives in 1991. This hook has been wrongly described many times as a "parcel hook", A 'plastic-shopping bag carrier", lock-pick, nose picker, etc. The true reason for the hook ? It was simply added to help with the losening , and tighting of wet, and\or frozen boot laces, backpack straps, snow shoe bindings, or any wet or frozen knots in any outdoor cordage. After all, the good folks at Victorinox that desighn these wonderful tools, live in the Alps, and they had a need for it. And boy, does it do a great job for it's intended use! I hope that this small tid-bit of information helps clear up the question's concerning the useful "hook."

I never had that problem. Might need to send back or try to bend the fastener to a slightly less round. Mine holds well shut until pulled open. Good luck.

Yes, I had the same problem with the safety lock. The simple fix is to take a hand drill with bit and expandthe opening slightly. It still locks but opens with a mild tug. Good Luck.

The Quakehold safety hooks are great but I have only mounted large HDTVs and mirrors using Molly Bolts. The two large mirrors we have came with special brackets attached to the frames. These rugged brackets have long "keyhole" slots that accommodate the head of a Molly Bolt. That said, the drawback to using three hooks is that you cannot be assured that each one is supporting an equal third of the total weight. One could be at its limit or over. One good shake and the overloaded one could let go, then the other two would fail. Visit the Quakehold dot com website for additional info.

Use a BIG Hammer...that is what I did. This thing is a piece of junk and Hammacher Schlemmer suggested I send it "back" for a refund/replacement. Send it back with all my data loaded in it...RIGHT! Sounds like part of the original design to me...the default PIN timer lockout must be working Great!!!

I bought this Rack and I am VERY DISSAPONTED! The hitch Lock will not work. everytime I turn key, it will only turn so far and it just springs back open. I think the lock is broke! It is ALWAYS OPEN. THen after 20 minutes of messing with it one of the Keys BROKE! Has anyone else had this proble with the lock being open instead of closed when off?

NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!! NEVER use a tow hitch ball as a recovery anchor! The ball does not have a high enough shear strength for recovery use. When it shears off you will have a 2 lb projectile in addition to the cable and shackle flying everywhere. IT WILL KILL YOU. Get a Clevis shackle (D Ring) and a proper tow hook for your vehicle. They are tested to have a breaking strength 2 to 4 times above the rated working load limit.

Hi Use a flat screwdriver to pry under the old tether and pop it out. On the new tether push the center pin out, then push the outer part in the hole you pried the old one out of. Then push the center pin back in to lock it in and your done. PS. Wear gloves when prying out old tether to protect your hands. Hope this helps you. Melissa Powers

Curious if you are referring to the stabilizer that came with the set. i place the stablizer on the "male" piece (sorry dont know the technical term) BEFORE i set the male piece into the hitch on my vehicle, set the bolt that holds the whole thing together, then tightened the stabilizer.If you are referring to the extending ramp, that was simply two pins at different angles that could be pulled out to allow the ramp to pass by them. A little more detail or a picture showing exactly what you are referring to could help me help you more

I am using the combination of a Master Lock 72DPF Heavy Duty Cable, 15 Feet Braided Steel, 3/8-Inch Diameter with a Master Lock 40DPF Round Padlock with Shielded Shackle, 2-3/4-Inch, Stainless Steel. This allows me to pass the cable through four bike frames and the wheels, the security loops on the bike rack and finally through the hitch on the vehicle. It makes for an easy-to-manage and relatively secure set-up that allows me to park long enough to grab a meal or gas. I do not think there is a manageable solution that would give me the peace of mind to leave the bikes on the car overnight. If you are asking about which lock to secure the rack within the hitch receptor, none that I researched looked to be anymore secure or as simple to use as the cabled approach I described. You are going to want to lock your bikes in addition to the hitch so why not kill two birds with one stone (and one key). I also decided to use the Curt Manufacturing 21510 Coated Hitch Pin and Clip instead of the stock pin which makes for quick, tool-free installation and removal of the hitch. However if you go this route, you will need to enlarge the holes on the Allen Sports Deluxe rack as they use a slightly smaller than standard hitch bolt; enlarging the holes is something that can be done with a good quality bit, your average electric drill, some oil to keep the bit lubricated and about five minutes of drilling . The upside is the Curt Hitch pin is significantly more substantial than the Allen Hitch bolt and so much easier to deal with.
