Video Transcript for Brophy Zinc Stake Pocket Tie-Down Anchor Review

What's up, everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be checking out these Brophy Stake Pocket D-ring accessories. So it's gonna go in your standard 2 x 4 sized stake pocket and give you an attachment point for your snap hooks. Let's check it out. The accessory here is gonna be 3 1/2" wide and 5 1/4" tall so this gives you a better idea if they're gonna work with your stake pocket or not, and we got a pin and clip at the bottom holding it in place. Now looking at the D-ring, it's gonna have a 2" diameter here so that's letting you know what kind of hook is gonna fit here to attach to it.

Also, it's gonna have a safe working load limit of 1,600 pounds and then a break strength of 5,000 pounds, so just keep that in mind when you have things tied down and hauling down the road. Something else to consider when you're strapping down your cargo is you wanna go by the lowest common denominator, so if this has a safe working load limit of 1,600 pounds. We wanna go by that. Even if your straps are rated higher, you wanna go buy this 'cause it's gonna be the tie down point. It's gonna be really easy to set up.

You just slide down in the stake pocket, got your pin and clip that goes through the bottom. Pin both holes. Then we will put the clip on there. That's gonna keep it in place. Now it does look and loose right now and that's before we tighten down our straps.

I'll put our snap hook on there. As I tighten it down, it's gonna pull it up into place and it'll be way more sturdy. So now we'll pull our strap tight, (ratchet clicking) ratchet a little bit tighter. (ratchet clicking) And we're good. Now these stake pocket tie downs are gonna come in quantity of one, so if you wanna do the setup we have today, you can get four of these, drop 'em in the stake pockets 'cause we always recommend two straps for whatever you're tying down, so this is gonna be a good way to not have to buy new ratchet straps.

We got the snap book ones, we already used those on another trailer. We can still use our stake pockets here. Now this one's gonna be silver and have a zinc coating so you don't have to worry about leaving it out in the elements. It's not gonna rust or corrode. Overall, I think these are a great accessory to have, especially if you already have these straps, you don't wanna buy new ratchet straps for the trailer and you wanna still use the stake pockets all the way down there, really easy to swap out and move wherever you need it for whatever cargo you're hauling. Well, I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out and hope this helped.
