  • Hands-free convenience with 40Lbs/178N lift force per strut
  • Quick installation using basic hand tools in minutes

  • Durable metal construction with 15mm housing and 6mm rod

What it is

Two black gas spring struts rated at 40 lbs or 178 N each. Extended length is 30.5 cm or 12 inches and compressed length is 19 cm or 7.48 inches. They are designed to lift and hold hoods, hatches or covers on cars, boats, RVs and buses. The metal construction is intended for long-lasting use.

Check before ordering

Verify that the weight of your lid or hatch falls within the 40 lbs per strut rating. Measure the mounting points to confirm the 10 mm hole diameter, 6 mm rod diameter and 15 mm housing diameter match your existing brackets. Ensure the 30.5 cm extended and 19 cm compressed lengths suit the travel range of your application.

Build fit

Each strut uses a 10 mm hole for a ball stud or eyelet, so compatible brackets are required. The 12.8 cm total length and 11 cm rod length determine the mounting geometry. The pair frees your hands while working under a raised hood or hatch and installs with basic hand tools in minutes. No special tools are needed.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need separate brackets?

The package includes two black gas springs. Mounting brackets are not included and must be sourced separately.

Should I choose the 40 lb or 178 N version?

Both figures describe the same 40 lb / 178 N force rating per strut; there is only one pressure option.

Will a 12 inch extended length fit my hatch?

Each strut extends to 30.5 cm (12") and compresses to 19 cm (7.48"); measure your hinge points against those lengths.
