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

No, it is not easy to adjust the length and secure the bar in the truck bed. It takes 2 hands to rotate and set the bar. It is easier with a second person holding one end of the bar.

I have a little arthritis in my right hand and I don't have any trouble. The bar is not hard to adjust but you do need to be able to grip it and twist it to tighten. I really like mine, it works great!

Geri, it takes several medium to hard twists to get the rod to remain in place.

It is not "quick release" or adjust on-the-fly, by say, moving a lever or pressing a "button". So you can't sit at it and adjust it up-down, up-down, up-down on demand by hand while you sit there. It's not like one of those hospital carts that do that. You would need to use a tool - screwdriver or socket - I forget and I'm not in front of the table at the moment to check for you - loosen the bolts, set the height, and then tighten it back up. Doing this isn't hard at all in my opinion, but you do have to use tools and set a fixed height.

Turning one part of the bar while holding the other will EXTEND the bar and turning in the OPPOSITE direction will REDUCE the bar. The manufacturer figured that each person would have to adjust by extending and reducing until they found the right tension for their particular need. Hope this helps?

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.

Hi Jeff, Unfortunately this grab bar is not mounted in my house. The manufacturer is Briggs Health Care Corp. Maybe by contacting them they could answer your question.

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

I don't have this model but I do have similarly Sears model made by Agri-Fab. My experience is that if you set height too low at height sitting bar, it will lock the wheel. I would move the setting at adjust bar at side to higher location. Hope it helps.

Yes, I changed my locks on my tool box on my truck, make sure the licking arm is the right angle, I used a 1/4 offset

Very easy. Just flip a bar. It's not heavy for me, but an elderly person might find it heavy.

I don't have one, but I just looked at a picture and it should work fine. It snaps on to the bar on the back and everything can be adjusted.

The turning "system" is great with the fixed axle. It makes "K" turns easier. But don't confuse the stability with ability for higher speeds. There is no way to adapt the steering bar to the user. Yes. I'm a cyclist but it's an easy modification. A taller user will feel confined by the narrow bar which is extremely sensitive. Don't take a hand off or weight off the bar. It's not wide enough... All hands on the bars, full attention, before starting to move. If it looks like I'm going past 4 months, it's most likely getting a simple bar stem attached.

The part is easily tightened but you need to use an Allen Wrench. I've tightened mine several times.

I just put my bike on crooked using the frame, but it would no doubt be better and more stable if I got a cross-bar adapter such as the Allen Sports Tension Bar Bicycle Cross-Bar Adapter which is one of the less expensive of such bars available on Amazon. May be I'll order one, myself :)!

None that I know of, but I never looked. The twist to lock mechanism seemed to be opposite to what I expoected, but now that I am used to it, I make length adjustments almost instantly without thinking about it. To tighten the pole turn the metal pole below the plastic connector. The plastic connector itself does not turn, it is just a dust cover!

Not too bad; loosen two thumb screws down near the bottom on each side. Then lift the bar up and out of the way.

yes the mount adjusts the full length of the bar, when satisfied with their placement you have a allen set screw to lock it in place.
