The attention to detail in the construction is evident, with smooth edges and precise engineering. The gas mechanism operates smoothly, providing a reliable and consistent lifting force, making it effortless to open and close heavy lids and doors. The struts also maintain their strength over time, ensuring a consistent performance even with frequent use.Furthermore, the ease of installation was a pleasant surprise. Clear instructions and the included mounting hardware made the setup straightforward, allowing me to have them in place quickly without any hassle.These gas prop struts have not only made operating heavy items a breeze but have also added a sense of sophistication to my projects. Their top-notch construction and reliable performance make them a standout choice for anyone seeking high-quality gas prop struts. I highly recommend these to anyone in need of a reliable lifting solution for heavy applications.

These worked perfect on my verticle heavy door shed.

I used these to add assist to opening of a heavy lid that covers a well tank. It was difficult for the homeowner to open, as it took about 80 pounds of force to lift. So I purchased the 100 pound, 23 inch set, not sure exactly how strong they needed to be. I emailed the supplier a sketch and asked what location to mount these. I mounted in location they suggested, and after adjusting location slightly a couple of times, they work great. After raising lit about 12" (with much lower force than before) they essentially raise the lid the rest of the way. Exactly what I needed.The mounting brackets are very versatile and allow many mounting options.My only issue is that the mounting brackets seem too light duty, as you can see by the picture. I removed and straightened the brackets, then mounted them on the inside of bracket so the force was more even (Pic showing full open lid shows final layout). Seem to be OK, but not sure how long they will hold up. However, this lid is only opened maybe once a month, so I believe it will be OK.

Of all things to be impressed by.... These little guys are exactly what I set out to get when I dreamt up a design for under-bed- storage. I have a very dense/heavy "full" sized mattress that is being supported and lifted from the side by 23" 150lb struts at the moment. Sturdy. Quality. Easy on the wallet.My calculations were just a tiny bit off though because after adding my bedding and anything else that makes it atop my bed it doesn't fully lift the weight. After 5 months of using an arm or my back to painfully help support it I swallowed my pride and messaged ARANA. My expectations were low seeing as it had been 5 months or more! But I remembered that like half of the reviews mentioned the awesome customer service so I gave it a shot. To my surprise VIgor was very helpful and after attempting to troubleshoot the common mishaps he decided it would be no issue to just send me a 200lb pair to replace the 150's. Seriously this company frickin rocks. The product is solid, the service is above and beyond, and the price is so reasonable that I just have a hard time believing it. New struts on the way and I will buy from ARANA again - I feel like I owe them that much. ♥️

I thought this was 100 lbs per pair, but it’s apparently 100 lbs PER STRUT or 200 lbs per pair. I weigh 250 and I cannot compress a single strut by putting one end against the floor and using the mounting bracket on a square of plywood and bearing my entire weight down upon on it. It acts as a solid rod. Not sure what the issue is. I tried to use it to support a fold up camper bed that weighs 80-100 lbs. I wanted it to have enough force to stay up when folded up. Instead it has enough force to rip the hinges off the bottom if you’re foolish enough to attempt to fight these struts to lower it. Im outside my return window so I suppose I’ll try and buy some weaker struts, but be aware that although the description says to measure what you’re lifting and buy this pair for items from 100-110 lbs, you are looking at 100 lbs plus per strut to get them to compress (I bowed a 2x4 it was bolted to before these gave any indication of giving even slightly).

Great price and product.Worked perfectly

The brackets for these don't hold up at all. My first attempt to close my RV lid for my large custom made storage bin caused the brackets to bend which did not allow the lid to close. No-go for sure.

My first impression great powerful shocks that come compressed for easy install. Very impressive for the price. Have not used them long but lift a 300lb door I have with ease!
