Gimmick, or useful? Would you buy?

Came across this. Would you buy it? I think it’s neat. Secures everything from sheet goods, to carpet rolls. Clip on flag, and it all rolls up nice and fits under the seat.

a bit pricey.

 

For the price, hard pass. Get a heavy duty tarp that has the built in eyelets, you can then just attach that to your ratchet straps and then secure a flag as needed.

If their product was like 50-60, I could see the appeal. But spending almost 200 for it, I don't see the benefit unless you haul like this often enough that the convenience they bring really justifies the high cost.

 

I like the concept but don't think I'd use it much. If you hauled lumber often enough to justify the purchase it would work well.

 

price is definately on the high side. I do qualify for a 20% discount. Makes it a bit more tolerable. I wouldn’t say I’d use it on a regular basis but easily 3-4 times a year hauling to our remote cabin which entails large loads on a winding, up and down gravel road.

I can usually “mcgyver” a solution but I thought this was a neat (but pricey) solution

 

Nice concept but too expensive.

 

Its your money and you see how it would directly affect you. The discount does help and if you've already tried your MacGyver solutions and you think this would be better. Go for it.

 

I wouldn’t say my solutions were better. Just some thinking, and use of endless ratchets, and scraping around the dropped tailgate.

this solution is definately more convenient

 

The bed extender that goes in the trailer hitch is much better .

 

I agree with this one.. you can then strap the load to it...

That other is WAY to much for a piece of canvas and a couple of straps...

 

I like the product, but as others have stated, it is too expensive. I would spend about half their asking price for it.

 

I could see this being useful in some situations. Not worth the $200 though. A 4 pack of ratchet straps is $15. Problem is most people don't know how to use them, but they probably wouldn't know how to properly use this truck bed diaper thing either.

If you are needing something like this on a regular basis you need to man up and buy a ladder rack or a work van. Your pretty boy truck with a 5 foot bed isn't cutting it anymore.

 

Steel hitch mounted bed extender, soccer net, ratchet straps, and an old bright red or orange t shirt does the job quite well.

 

Yes, and,no. Yes better cause it kinda is. Not better because I can’t roll it up and keep under the seat.

 

wouldn’t need it more than 2-3 times a year. Like I said I’ve made due all these years. This product is,just a convenience.
