Apexstone 45N/10lb 10 inch Gas Struts,Gas Springs,Gas Strut,Lift Support,Gas Shocks,Lid Stay,Lid Support

I got these for a flip top workbench I added to my material cart. Install is easy. Works nice!

The media could not be loaded.  I bought these for installing in a custom cabinet I built in my camper van and in existing cabinets in the van. When placed properly and with the proper number of struts for the size and weight of the door, they work great. I can’t stress it enough that placement matters. How you want the door or lid of your cabinet to open and how high you wanted to open and if you wanted it to be soft close or not, all play a role in where you place the struts. Once I got the placement down, the struts were super easy to install, and I’m really happy with the way they work.

Just what I needed

My door weighs less than 20lbs but two of these did not hold it open

Packaging a lot of times is more about marketing. You tear open the package and find out maybe you don't want the item, so now you have to put it all back and try and make it look decent. Even worse, you keep the item and have to through some non-recyclable plastic out.But, what if a company sends you your items in a really nice and reusable bag with a heavy duty slide lock? I mean, if they put this much thought into their packaging, what kind of thinking and quality do they put into the product?? Yep, I'm really impressed with the packaging!It was so easy to open the package and inspect the product. No stress in opening, no stress if I had to return the item, no stress in having to throw out or recycle the packaging because I'm going to reuse it. What's not to be excited about!Oh, the actual product! Yeah, about that, tight, sturdy, easy to install and works as expected. No surprise there. I mean, look how it was packaged!
