Bed Buddi Truck Bed Cargo Retrieval Tool

This little bar has been well worth the price and I can't imagine not having it now. Somewhat surprisingly, the magnets are strong enough to hold the bar to the side of the bed in my 2024 GMC Canyon even through the spray-in bedliner. I'm sure it might bounce off if I did serious high-speed offroading, but it has stuck there just fine for several weeks of normal paved, dirt, and light offroad driving.Note that the bar is designed to pull but not push. The clamps that hold the bar sections in their extended positions are just friction clamps. The structure of the bar mechanically limits the sections from being pulled apart but only the friction from the clamps keep the bar sections from sliding back to their collapsed positions. That means that you can push lighter things away from the tailgate toward the bulkhead in the bed of the truck but the bar will collapse if you try to push anything heavy. This isn't a problem for me, as I don't need it for pushing heavy things and it was easy to see the design of the bar before I purchased it. You can pull very heavy things toward the tailgate, even with a rough texture bedliner like the spray-in bedliner in my truck. That's what it's designed for and it works very well for that.It does extend out to a full five feet, but since my truck only has a 5'2" bed I haven't need to extend that last little section with the detent button to reach everything. Just sliding extending the larger sections with the clamps has been plenty. You can also slide that last section all the way out by pressing the detent button again so that you can turn the right angle hook part the opposite direction so it faces up if you want to stick it to the other side of your truck bed.The only potential issue that I can see may eventually happen is the adhesive pads sticking the magnets to the bar may weaken or slide a bit if the temps get really hot, like under a black tonneau cover in the middle of summer. We're in mid-July in the Pacific Northwest now, and one of the pads may have moved a tiny bit so far. This isn't a real issue for me so far so I'm not taking away a star for it, but if you're in very hot regions it could be an issue for you.

Great product, easy-to-use and strong enough to pull a heavy bag of smoker pellets.

Very strong and compact. Magnet is strong, stays put in the bed of the truck

Works as advertised
