That's so cool....
The only thing that could top it would be a wiffleball bat in a pair of QuickFists.

I could have used something a little less over the top, but I have an actual real reason for this... I run the inverter while I am rolling down the road to charge stuff rather than use my batteries when parked. I try to mostly use DC while boondocking.

I really like the Quick Fist clamps...





They work great and never slip. I have 4 more for mounting in the trailer and on the rack.

Sorry this took so long. I was away for the weekend. I just returned and took a few pics of the sagging Quick Fists:

Yes, I know my sledge hammer is rusty. It's been a long winter... I'll get to it soon...

Interesting.
Thinking back, I mounted all my heavier gear vertically on the trailer. The only thing mounted horizontally was a fairly light shovel.
Looks like they still work --- just don't look quite right....

 

[FirerescuePW]

That's what I was thinking. Just does 't look right. If I were to use fender washers on the mounting bolts the mount could still bend where you see it because it is beyond the point where a washer would make contact.

Unfortunately the tools only fit horizontally.

This might be a dumb suggestion but maybe try rotating them 180deg?

Not dumb. I thought about that over the weekend, but I wasn't home to try it. I will post results when I do.

Thanks!

Prior to swapping out my OEM roof rack for a Gobi, I used QF as a shovel mount. Worked well. No issues

I've only used quickfists for holding my lights inside the cab of my truck, but reading this thread I just might hang a shovel up on the roof rack using these things....

Love mine. Got one each in my runner and tundra both holding a shovel. Never comes loose.

Those top secret panels are similar to what other companies I have seen sell to mount molle type bags too. The ones I got was for that reason as well and only paid $10 each, got one on each side and one in my runner. Anyways I got them at a blockbuster store closing lol.
