Vepagoo Gas Struts 15 Inch 45Lb/200N Shocks for Heavy Lid, RV Bed Lift Kit for Toolbox RV Bed and Cabinet Door Absorber, Heavy Duty Lift Support for Toy Lid and DIY, 2pcs (1pair)

We added these to our bed in our airstream for better access to under the bed storage. Perfect for what we needed.

Good value. Nice struts, actually have metal ends. They are stronger than advertised. I would recommend going a little lighter than you expect to need.

It took a while, but finally got one of these struts to work for my home-made utility box with a heavy lid. I bought a set of 45lb rated struts for my 47lb lid. After mounting them on both sides of the box, I realized that EACH strut is rated at 45lb, not combined. Did not see that in the description or instructions. I probably should have bought a set of 25lb struts (=50lbs of force).For my application, one will do the job, however the brackets flex due to the force placed on one strut only.Following the instructions for mounting was easy, but required some experimenting for final positioning of the brackets.Pros:Great price!Appear to be well built struts.Instructions for position calculating were easy to follow.Cons:Need to experiment for final bracket position.Brackets flex when working with heavy weights.

I installed these on my boat fishing rod boxes. They work perfectly.

Used on the hood of a Branson 2515 tractor and they work great

Tried using these for a cabinet lid, and they are wayyyyy too strong. If they were adjustable they might be a lot better

Received and installed. So far, so good.

This NOT for marine. It comes with steel brackets, not stainless. By all accounts, utterly unless around a marine environment. Had to return and will be purchasing something better. Whats the point of a stainless strut if you have steel hardware... so disappointing...
