Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose 13mm over 10mm? More load capacity, more contact area, longer service life. Recommended for gas struts over 400N.

Does the powder coat affect strength? No — same steel underneath, just with a protective finish.

Will it match my black gas strut? Yes — matches most black-finish gas struts and hardware.

Load capacity? Rated for gas struts up to ~1500N properly installed.
