Bell Automotive 22-1-00073-8 Automotive Expandable Clothes Hanger Bar for Travel, Extendable 35”- 56”- Perfect for Car, Trucks & SUV

Due to the other reviews which said the plastic ends broke after a short period of time I was glad that I had hooks in my car. I purchased this and went to install only to realize I didn't have hooks so I was forced to use the plastic hooks on the bar. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about it it breaking, because I was. I purchased it on July 7th and the day it arrived I installed it. I have about 15 pieces of clothing on the bar and have since the install. The plastic hooks haven't given way and my clothes are still hanging great. I went on vacation for a week, leaving my car parked in a driveway uncovered with external temps that had reached 90 degrees that week, internal temps certainly rose well above that. When I returned it was still in place with my clothes still hanging. I travel about 500 miles each week, returning to my home on the weekends and living out of hotels during the week. This bar has stood up to everything. The rubber sleeve on the bar keeps my clothes from sliding around even when I take a corner too sharp. I couldn't be happier after nearly a month of continual use. In case you are wondering I drive a 2013 Chevy Impala and it fits great! If this things gives way I'll update the review but for now it is going strong and for under 10 bucks I couldn't be more pleased. *** UPDATE OCT 2014 *** over 3 months ago I purchased this and day one it went into my 2013 Chevy Impala hanging from the plastic hooks (so many said the hooks are the weak link and break). I'm happy to report that the bar is STILL in my car (I have yet to take it down), still holding about 8 pairs of pants and 10 shirts. No signs that the plastic hooks are going to break, no issues at all. My experience has been VERY GOOD. I have no issues and frankly for the price I certainly recommend this product. Why pay more for something else when this has exceeded my expectations.

I have owned this item for almost a year now and just put it back into the back of my crew cab truck. I am in construction and carry several layers of jacket/coats. Most of them are lime green with reflective tape like my go to weather proof Tingley Rubber J26112 Bomber II Jacket, XX-Large, Lime Green Polyester . This bar is super strong. No bending with all the clothes on it. This bar has multiple hanger ends that are perfect for any application in a car. It is adjustable and had the rubber spacers and the clothes don't move even with bouncing on a construction site. My kids can still use the back set by sliding the clothes to the center. I looked at a lot of different bars and am very satisfied with it. My father bought one after I bought this one. I would buy it again if I lost this since I know it probably won't break. Just my 2 Cents.

works. my 3rd one

I just recieved this product today. I plan to do some car traveling, and sublet my apartment, so I'm just going to bring all my clothes with me. It's not a lot, about 30 velvet hangers with tshirts and flannels mostly. I installed this rack and gave it some good pulls. I think it'll be plenty sturdy. The construction quality feels good, like a mid-level telescoping paint pole from Lowes. Not fancy or supple, but secure. I do have two concerns about the product: First, I'm concerned about the plastic mounts. Other reviews mentioned the same concern, so I'll update if it ever becomes an issue. Second, I'm concerned with how low the bar hangs. I know we are limited by the design of the car, but this bar hangs uncomfortably low, such that the bottom of shirts will bunch up and wrinkle, and the bar hands right in the middle of my rear view even if not full of clothes. This is something I can learn to deal with, but it isn't ideal. Generally, I'd say this is a fine rod and you can buy it without fear of it sucking. But understand that you're getting a solution to your problem, not a high end car accessory.

This is one of the most useful purchases I've purchased within the last few years. I travel for 39 weeks out of the year and this bar ensures that my clothes stay wrinkle free and ready for use at any moment. I've managed to hang every article of clothing I own on this bar with no problems. Each end has a thick plastic hook that is sufficient for slipping onto your cars fold down handles. Each end also features a square metal hinge that can be placed over the hanger clips that are in the same places as the fold down handles for a little extra security against it falling and weight distribution. I have purchased 3 of these bars so far (1 for me and 2 as gifts) and they are all holding up perfectly with daily use. The only suggestion I have is that you definitely used both the metal hooks and the plastic hook when securing the bar if you are loading it down with heavy items or lots of clothes otherwise it is indeed possible to overload the plastic hooks. I haven't fully overloaded the plastic hook portion but I did notice I got close one day with some particularly heavy hanging items. I can see that if the plastic hooks bend out the bar will be far less useful than in its current state so be warned. This is a great purchase for any frequent traveler. I even take it in when I go to different places and use it between to chairs when a closet isn't available.

If you are looking for a stick with hoops or loops on the ends, this is a stick with hoops and loops on the ends. Installation was as easy as catching the far hoop on the hook, and the near one on its hook. Took me a total of two minutes to open the box, slide off the plastic bag, and make the connections. This is not rocket science (which I have a college degree in). I installed it last night and placed a few hangers with clothes on it, and thus far today, it has not fallen down. I highly recommend this product should you be need of a stick with hoop or loops on the ends. Admittedly, I'm confused what makes a hoop rather than a loop, but whichever it may be, it works. This could make an excellent St Valetine's Day present to a love one. A word of caution about giving a loved one a stick on such a day may result in in the hoops or loops being stuck in your head rather than on the end of the stick. Good news is that if they throw the stick at you, you'll have something to hand all the clothes of yours tossed into the front yard, and you won't have wasted a penny on this upcoming holiday. And as the rating indicates, the stick with hoops and loops on the ends remains wrinkle free. I do not recommend trying to perform chin-ups in the backseat using this stick with hoops and loops on the ends. the coat hangers may poke you in the eye. As Spock once said to Yoda, "To infinity and beyond. Na-nu, na-nu."

My husband and I recently moved into our first home. We had a lot of clothes to move so I bought this clothes bar to easily transport all our hanging items. This rack rocked! It easily expanded, held nearly out entire closet in one trip, and even hooked onto my "oh crap!" handlebars for the back seat. The picture shows that it can be hooked onto your existing hanger hooks, but if you only have one (like I do) just flip it around and the black part hooks onto the "oh crap!" handles and is fairly secure. This bar never fell off, with or without clothes on it. It may have unexpanded itself once, but was easy to expand back out when in use. Lastly, I love the section dividers on this rack, it allows for your garments to stay in one place as opposed to sliding from one side of the bar to the other. I plan on keeping this rack for years to come!

The bar is well built, expands nicely, and has two types of connectors depending upon which type of rear hook or handle in your vehicle. As my F150 only has a hook on each side I can only use the metal rings to hang it from. The problem is that with minimal or no clothes on the bar, it is not secured sufficiently to handle even mild road bumps, and falls off the truck mounted hooks.
