Useful Little Gadget

[Johnb]

Have to admit to using FB. (My dive group use it to communicate)

Saw this little thing advertised at £24 each. https://ancestraloutdoors.com/products/easyroof Not checked if postage is extra.

Amazon Prime same day delivery have quite a few similar products but the prices are less than half the above.

This one is £8.99 with Prime.

Maybe someone will find it useful. Bikes etc carried on roof springs to mind.

I like the alternative uses which would guarantee it’s always in the car when required.

Yes ,and us old foggies use it and forget its there and close car door,,,,, crunch! Not for me.

I saw something similar to this for people with mobility issues getting in and out of cars and considered getting one for my father who had to transfer from his wheelchair. But he was reluctant to try it.

I remember that one as it had a handle on it to grab onto. The one in the link is not good if you want to get something off the roof as you really need a stable footing especially some of us old fogies! Biggest issue is forgetting it is there when slamming the door shut. LOL!

Looks like another solution to a non existing problem to me! But if someone finds it helpful there's no harm in buying one of course.

The handle to aid access version is here,

The step version could be useful if you are vertically challenged and need to load a roof box?

The car handle would help me with my mobility issues getting out of my car thanks
