I am a senior citizen with arthritis. Is this easy to turn to adjust the length of bar? I have 1994 Chevy Silverado.

The bar is provided with a soft foam grip which makes it easy to tighten the bar once in it's in place. Please note that the primary length adjustment is initially achieved by releasing the lock and then sliding one end of the bar until the bar is somewhat tight in the truck bed. Then the final tightness is achieved by turning the bar (using the foam grip) to get a tight fit. If you are unable to get a sufficiently tight fit by hand using the foam grip, you can always use a pair of expandable-jaw pliers, or vise-grip pliers, on the foam grip. Of course, the tighter you can get the fit of the bar within the bed, the better your load securing will be. Also, you might consider using two of these load-lock bars to increase your load securing capabilities.

Yes, the bar has a screw on one end and you turn the handle that has a big foam pad on it. Fairly easy too do.

I just took the L shaped bar and slipped it inside the upright bar attached to the table. I raised it up to the level I felt was right for my dog and turned the large black knob to the right to hold it secure. It is easy to readjust as needed.

I have never experienced issues with it turning easily. My mother in law has weak hands and arthritis and is able to use it just fine as well.

I'm 72 and have arthritis and it was still difficult for me to use especially on soup cans. That was the reason I purchased the opener. For me it was too short and wide for my hand to hold and push it properly. My husband has arthritis too but it did wrk for him.

The pry bar doesn't adjust. Only from the front. I haven't had any problems with mine.

Yes, you can adjust the two bars where you like them. I like to use for it Classical Stretch.

At nearly 87, I, too, have arthritis in both thumb.s I've never had any trouble with either of the two control knobs.(There have been times when I forgot to turn theupper knob to "toast" and ended up with warm, soft bread; but that was my own fault and easily corrected.

Better reduce the rating to about 125. I'm 190 and the incline T-bar actuator just snapped on mine. No thanks on another too-flimsy replacement, I'll just buy some material and fix your design flaw myself.

Yes-it moves up and down on the one I purchased! There is an adjustable silver bar with a screw that you can tighten.

Moving the bars up/down is quick and easy. If you need to extend them handlebars out or move them in it just takes an allen wrench.

I have this bar on my 2013 Silverado. After removing the tow hooks, I had to cut about 1/4 " wide by 1/2" deep slot in the bottom of the plastic bumper opening. It was easy to do, just used a box cutter. I made the cut so the installation looked perfect. I imagine you could go without the cut, but it pushed down on the bumper opening and looked like it was dented. Hope this helps you. BTW I LOVE this Guard!

Can't say directly, I have a '14 Indian. But they angle in enough directions that if you get the right bar size, you should be able to configure it to your desired position.

Pull up on the end of the middle bar. Adjust it out to the length you need and then snap the middle bar back down in place.

once you have it set, pivot is tightened with a bolt (wrench provided), you make it as tight as you want. Sloppy to no movement. I have mine set to very hard to move so I can still adjust it some without loosening bolt. To raise or lower some (minor adjustment) there is a screw at top, and the left right slider bar is with a knob but still no movement if wanted

yes you can adjust it some...you just tighten the screw/ring where you want it

No easy answer here but I did have to dial in quite a bit of adjustment that I was supposed to clip off. You could always try it and return it if it didn't work. I have a pretty regular specialized bar set.
