There are no instructions on how to unfold the arms without breaking the plastic, otherwise I'd give this a five-star rating. In order to pry/unlock a hook in a square hole inset into the end of the arm opposite the pivot point, a small flat blade screwdriver is required. You don't need to worry about it once you know this. However, I can easily envision people breaking the plastic as they struggle with these as they break the hook or otherwise break the plastic. It would also be possible to mark the case with a permanent marker if you like, or to print instructions on the arms.
As another reviewer pointed out, the tabs that hold the folding parts in place need to be released via a screwdriver. The thing is, you can just tug on those to get them to However, once you pass that point the corners of the folding parts will collide with the stationary part. (See photo) Then, if you pull on it, the little hinge will snap off. As a matter of fact, one came pre-filled with information This was broken by some schmuck who probably will be fired if the boss catches wind of it. The one I have assembled behind the seat of my pickup will remain there. I have a simple fix for all of In the first place, there is the problem of interfering corners To trim the photo's spot, just use a kitchen knife. (Just a tiny bit is all that is needed)
Secondly, for the latches holding the folding parts in place, simply cut off the tabs that secure them at the back. Get rid of them or don't even bother engaging them they are not very It should be a no-brainer to assemble these things under stressful circumstances as they will no doubt be deployed. I'm going to recommend this product to those of you who do not mind doing a bit of tinkering. It's hard to beat the price of $24 for this item. However, I am only giving it 3 stars because when a product doesn't work right out of the box, that kind of strikes me as lame.
Having this peace of mind in your trunk will keep you from getting caught on the road if you have to change a tire. It took AAA ninety ####ing minutes to bring out a tow truck for my wife's car that broke down on an overpass. A police officer used two flares to bring it back to life, but it took the policeman two flairs to fix it. I checked out LED lights, but it seems they all have their hiccups - battery life, a lack of visibility on sunny days, but battery life is one of the main problems. The first time I received our order, I was shocked by how heavy this package was. I like the carrying case as it does the job well. In their bases, black sand is used to weigh them down. You don't want to learn how they work under pressure so you should try them out and get comfortable with them. As soon as my wife's car problem was resolved, I bought a set for her, and then when I saw another person changing a tire on the highway, I thought how much better it would be for me to have one as well. In order to be successful, all three of these elements are essential. One should be 10 feet behind you and another farther back if you're in the middle of a highway. A third is needed if you are on a tight road for a warning of the other side or to overtake. The third should be placed on the As important as having a first aid kit in the trunk, I believe these are too. It would have been better to have the first aid kit frequently rather than less often.
Please take caution. Great! It worked like a charm. Please use caution People have reported in other reviews that the triangle did not stay closed or was prone to falling over in strong winds. Seeing big cars driving by made me think there would be a lot of My experience with the product shows that it's very sturdy even in high winds.
As a result, I bought these for a relatively low price since we are required to carry warning triangles in each of our cars.
Compared to more expensive ones, however, the quality is better and the plastic seems a little thin and below average. It is possible to break a triangle by forcing it open or closed when it becomes stuck once the triangle is opened. In order to ensure everything will go smoothly if I need it eventually, I used a nail file to smooth out the edge. In addition to that, it stands stable and is very visible due to its size and weight. It works well even if you break or lose it even though I haven't used it (and probably willn't) so for the price, it's a good buy.
As soon as you receive it, be sure that the doors and windows all open and shut properly, otherwise you might run into trouble trying to use it during an emergency.
I give it five stars. In the case, there are 3 triangular pieces weighing a total of nine ounces. A 4 lb. package. The weight of each triangle is 3 lbs. The wind resistance of these products is exceptional when compared to other lightweight products. There are latches on the case that stay tight, but they are easy to pull open when the case locking latches are closed. There is no difficulty at all in unfolding a single of these, even a weak child with arthritis could handle After 3 minutes of trying, I figured out what to do. You can find these small metal circles by looking for circular metal Hinge pins like these are used to hold the door open. In order to pivot the arm, you grasp the opposite end of it, so that you can pull it upwards. This is so straightforward to open even the klutziest invalid can do it without too much difficulty. When you use two fingers, the force required is so small, the two hands lock together smooth as silk, and both ends touch each other. You don't forget how to do it after you see how to do it.
There is nothing else to learn, they install in the box so fast and easily that anyone with an IQ higher than a grapefruit will be able to comprehend it. If you first remove them from the case, look before you do so. What do you notice about the two outer triangles facing up and the middle triangle facing That's good - that means you do not have a grapefruit brain and can stow them back in the carrying case in less than ten seconds at most. After you refold the arms and are ready to replace them, it takes a little while to complete the procedure. There are nine bags for luggage. There is only one thing that requires any effort back to the trunk, and that is 4 pounds.
I would give these six stars if Amazon would 9. is the only thing to keep in mind. I consider 4 pounds to be quite heavy. It might be hard to move and carry the case full of 3 triangles if you are crippled in the arms or otherwise injured. * This is one of the few products that will last forever, are easy to use, and thoroughly satisfying.
The case that they come in is nice. Despite the fact that there was no instruction, it took me 15 minutes to figure out how to unfold the tiles. Almost every side arm is locked in place by a tight clip, and to remove it you must pull very hard. As I'm always afraid of breaking something by yanking, I kept looking for hidden clasps. I gave up looking and went back to yanking it, thinking that if I break it, I would I opened, but it closed again. Everything is in working order.
