Product Information

Full details

The Laser Bonnet/Tailgate Support (4301) is designed for automotive technicians, roadside assistance professionals, and DIY mechanics who require a reliable way to keep tailgates or bonnets open securely during maintenance. Its primary benefit is the telescopic design that extends up to 1200mm, providing a stable, hands-free workspace in varied environments. A notable caveat is that this tool is intended to supplement, not replace, existing vehicle support struts, ensuring it acts as a secondary safety mechanism rather than a primary load-bearing support for worn-out hardware.

FAQs

Can I use this to hold up a heavy tailgate with broken struts?

No. The 4301 is designed to be used in conjunction with existing support struts and is not intended to support the full weight of a tailgate independently.

What is the maximum extension length?

The support extends to a maximum length of 1200mm.

Does this tool require special maintenance?

Keep it clean and free from grit. Periodically wipe the telescopic rods to ensure the locking mechanism remains effective.

Is this tool suitable for roadside assistance?

Yes, its compact, telescopic design makes it highly portable for emergency roadside repair kits.

How do I secure the position?

Extend the shaft to your desired length and rotate the locking collar until it is firm.

Troubleshooting

The shaft slips after being locked.

Ensure the twist-lock is fully tightened. If slipping continues, check the shaft for oily residue and wipe it clean with a degreaser.

The telescopic sections are stiff or difficult to pull.

Wipe the shafts with a clean, dry cloth. A very light application of silicone spray may be used if the sections remain stiff due to grit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extends up to 1200mm for maximum versatility
  • Simple twist-lock mechanism for quick operation
  • Durable construction suitable for professional use
  • Lightweight and easy to transport in service vehicles

Cons

  • Must be used with existing struts; not for use on failed systems alone
  • Requires manual adjustment for every specific vehicle height
  • Not intended for heavy-duty lifting applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup requires no assembly; simply unlock, extend, and lock. The tool is compatible with most standard passenger vehicles, SUVs, and estate cars with tailgates or bonnets. For maintenance, keep the telescopic sections clean from grease, oil, and road grime to ensure the locking mechanism functions smoothly. If the tool is exposed to rain during roadside repairs, wipe it down with a dry cloth before retracting to prevent internal corrosion. Store the tool in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the twist-lock threads.
