5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! Fantastic product. Easy to install and use., October 21, 2008
By Jay Riemenschneider (Roswell, GA United States) - See all my reviews
  
This may seem a bit pricey for something a large hook mounted on your roof could do seemingly as well. They both hold your bike upright anyway. If you have ever tried to lift your bike up onto a roof mounted hook it is a bit awkward to say the least. Rarely can you get it up there in one smooth motion. The wheels make the whole load very front heavy and I find I have to struggle to gain control and hook the front tire. I've made quite a few black marks on the walls in the process. With the Gladiator it is much easier to do in one smooth motion. You just have to hit the button with the front wheel. A couple of times and I was doing it very easily. Getting the bike down is even easier since the tire is almost hitting the button already.

3.0 out of 5 stars A New Hook on, well, a Hook, October 21, 2008
I remember seeing this on the defunct TV show American Inventor. On the show, the college student inventors had a hard time getting the mechanism to open and close properly. This GarageWorks version has taken care of that. The mechanism works with a soft touch, no problems opening and closing as required. I remember the inventors saying the reason they needed this product was because it was so hard to hang their bikes in their apartments. But even though it looks pretty cool, the end functionality is not much different than a plain old hook. The only thing the Claw does is eliminate the need to move the bike a few inches forward and back when you take it off and on a plain hook. The Claw is really just a moveable hook that swings in and out of position when you hit the big button on the top. The wheel of the bike actually rests on just one hook. Yes, it's nicely padded, but my rubber coated hook doesn't scratch, either. And it does form a closed loop, but I think gravity does a pretty good job keeping the bike in place when on a big hook. To be honest, I think this is a solution in search of a problem.

It should have been easy to install except for the incomprehensible positioning of 2 screw holes aligned with the hooks. You cannot position a screw driver or drill to screw the screws in straight. The only way to do it is to angle the screws, but the instructions do not say that. I ruined 4 screws before I got it right. While it has 4 holes and only requires 2 screws, the base was too wide for my ceiling beam and I had to use the inconvenient screw holes. All they need to do is move the screw holes to get a straight shot.

So, in the end, this is a fancy hook that works fine and looks cool on your garage ceiling. If you have $60 and a need for your garage to look cool, this is the bike hook for you.

Follow up note: I have been using this for my bike for a while now. It does make it * a bit* easier to hang your bike, however, I also found I have to make sure to lift directly up to hit the button because anyplace on either side of the wheel spins the wheel off the button and you have to try again. I suppose a better button design could fix this.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fancy hook...but still a hook, October 26, 2008
By Adam Wood (Tucson, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I have to admit it. I think that this thing is cool. Granted, I'm an engineer and like mechanical gadgets, but the Claw is pretty neat. It is very lightweight, and the mechanism that changes the claw from closed to open and locks it in place is simple. It looks nice, and it does what it is supposed to do - hold a bike in place when suspended from above.

So, I'll give it four stars for that. Now, here's the reality that has already been written about on here. One thing that I like about the Claw is that it is simple. However, it is not as simple as it could be. Namely, an inexpensive rubberized hook that you can buy at just about any hardware store. People have used those for years, and it's for a reason. They also do exactly what you'd want to do - hold a bike in place when suspended from above.

The Claw uses a lot of plastic parts, and it's activated by having someone push a bike tire against it. If you're considering buying this because it's difficult for you to hold the bike up high and get it on a hook, then it's more likely that you'll probably be banging against the Claw's activator pad with the wheel because you'll be in a hurry to get the weight of the bike suspended. I have doubts about how well these plastic parts will hold up under repeated use.

So, the hardware hooks are cheaper, simpler, and (I believe) more robust - so from a practical standpoint, they win in my book. That said, if you don't mind spending the extra money for the Claw, want something a little more flashy than a regular hook, like gadgets, and are okay with the thought of maybe having to replace it after a couple of years - then it should fit the bill for you.
