Reddit reviews END OF ROAD Original Quick Fist Clamp for mounting tools & equipment 1" - 2-1/4" diameter (Pack of 2) - 10010

I know, I snickered too but it's apparently a thing.

Some folks also use a product called "Quick Fist"; caveat emptor I've never used them myself so do some research first. They may have the same rotting problem as the bungie cords but I've not heard of that so far:

Shit, I'm sorry, I meant to say Quick Fist, Quick Grips are those overpriced Irwin clamps.

I keep some backup clothing. Specifically wool socks, boots and extra gloves and hat. If I get stranded and have to trudge through the snow I wanna be prepared.

Recovery straps arent too expensive either. I think mine was like $30. Get a hitch shackle too if you're gonna do that.

Besides that I keep extra fluids and litter or salt in a box in the back. I got one of these cause I didnt want anything permanent, and just chain it in the bed. Also sand bags for weight - this year I'm planning to build a frame to hold them in place.

Over summer I also built this rail-mount shovel holder, mostly to keep it from bouncing around or getting easily lifted. Its not really secure but its better than just tossing it in there. I used these clamps and these t-slot nuts for the rail. Hardware came from lowes, 3/8"-16, i think they were 1 1/2 inch bolts, washers, and the aluminum bar.

The mounts are just Quick Fists. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CQPANY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_BiuTBbS59T137.

Fairly cheap, and they hold up well. Then I just bolted them to the panel and added a couple of more secure bolts in place of the regular plastic snaps that hold the panel in place.

I have a standard cab pickup and behind my seat I mounted my "truck axe" everyone thinks it's odd but it has come in handy multiple times.
Doesn't have to be anything fancy

I have these quick fists for my shovel. They can be bolted on to the two flat panels on the side of your roof rack to hold a shovel. I can take a picture in the morning if you're interested. You can do 70+ and it won't budge.

My buddy uses U bolts for pretty much everything else, including hi-lift jack.

Pertinent info, a crosspost provided this insight regarding better fastening systems

You will need a Drill and a 3/8" or 1/2" drill bit. Drill out the stock hole in the bottom of the quickfist to make the hole larger, the screws will then fit through. Put the T-Nut in the bed-rail and slide it down to where you want it. Screw the Quickfist to the T-Nut and you get what you see above! Insert your tool of choice!

Shovel
Rubber Clamps
1-1/2 inch Conduit Hangers

Bought these parts then went to the hardware store for for a couple screws, washers, and nuts to put them together! Pretty cheap. Also, right now the shovel is ~ $50 but I purchased it a couple months ago for ~ $25 so I’d look around for a better deal.

Pretty simple really! I went the affordable route after getting tired of seeing $80 shovel mounts on Amazon. I spent around $20 bucks in total for the mount. Here's another photo with a different angle.

I just went down to my local Home Depot and bought some conduit hangers. 2" hangers for my Thule MOAB IIRC. I sprayed them black to blend in a bit better since they come in silver.

Then I attached these rubber tool clamps to the conduit hangers using 1" #10 screws and washers.

So I wouldn't mess up the basket, I used some leftover rubber hose from my AOS install to act as a padding between the conduit hangers and basket.

I opted for a small cable lock to keep it from being stolen/tampered with.

I went with the Bully Tools 92510 12-Gauge Round Point Shovel Fiberglass D-Grip Handle because of it's sturdy construction. This thing is crazy strong.

I did it myself. I used quickfist and drilled thru the metal panels. Super cheap and they are great. I actually have an axe and shovel mounted on the rack. The shovel covers the axe.

Looks great! We have the same basket and crossbars. How do you have the shovel and axe mounted? I used a couple Quick Fists and they work pretty well, but are sometimes kinda finnicky. Also, is your awning mounted straight onto the crossbars, or is it on the basket somehow?

Quick fist it!

Cheap, effective, and the quickfists have a hole in them to use a lock (I use a cable lock as used often on snowboards)

To the pet barrier. I was able to use misc small bolts and nuts to mount the extinguisher holder and quick fists directly to the pet barrier. The shovel is held in the quick fist. The first aid kit is attached to the barrier with small bungees.

I just have them zip tied to the rack right now but thinking of getting some stainless screws for a more permanent solution.

I have a set of these holding a shovel in my Jeep, they'd work well for a mag light if you can find somewhere under the back seat for it.

Personally, if you're dead set on using a mag light I'd go with a 3D since it will probably fit in the glove box. Otherwise pick up a streamlight pen light in AAA or rechargable and enjoy a flashlight that's lighter, brighter, and in my experience more durable.
