The built-in, quick-release levers on these turnbuckles make it fast and easy to secure your truck bed camper to your vehicle. Designed for use with bed-mounted camper tie-downs. Turnbuckles extend from 14" to 21-1/2".

Specs:
Standard turnbuckles have to be manually tightened, which can be a bit of a chore. TorkLift FastGun handles eliminate this difficult step. Just hook one end of each turnbuckle onto your camper and hook the other end onto the camper tie-downs that are mounted to your truck's bed. Then, to tighten the turnbuckles, flip the lever-action handles down - it's that simple. Pins are included to secure the handles in place, ensuring that your tie-down system remains tight and secure. For additional security and peace of mind, use TorkLift's FastGun pin locks (TLS9500 - sold separately) in place of the pins to more effectively lock the system down.
When you reach your campsite and you're ready to set up, just remove the pins (or locks), and flip the FastGun handles up to release the tension on the turnbuckles. With the tension released, you can quickly and easily remove the turnbuckles, activate your jacks, and set up your camper. This quick-disconnect feature is also great if one of the attached turnbuckles covers your truck's fuel tank door. No need to manually twist an older style turnbuckle and remove chains to disengage the entire system. Just pop the FastGun handle up, unhook the turnbuckle so you can move it out of the way, and fuel up.

Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at the Torklift locking fast gun turnbuckles. The turnbuckles secure your camper to the tie downs mounted on your truck, so these are designed for bed mounted campers. The lever action handles makes the turnbuckles very easy to operate, so when you're ready to secure it all you have to do is push down on the handle once the hooks are in place to tighten, and then to release you just lift up on the handle. It's a really nice, easy to use design. It's a spring loaded design, which really helps to reduce stress on the tie down points.The unit features spring tension indicators on both the driver's and passenger's side for simple set up. The round O-ring is used only as a gauge to set your spring tension, and you can adjust that as necessary per the instructions.
It does come with traditional pins and clips for security. They would be placed right through here to make sure that the hook does not become disengaged or accidentally disconnect. It keeps the handle in the down position as well. It is lockable for added security. Locks are sold separately and available at etrailer.com.The unit also comes with two quick links, os in some applications you may find that the half inch threaded hook bolt does not easily insert into the hole of your truck's tie downs.
You can use these 5/16" quick links to make that much easier and to make your connection as necessary.The unit's constructed from a high-impact, polished stainless steel construction. It's very durable and rust proof, and it has a really great look to it. The product's made in the USA. It is designed for frame mounted tie downs for truck bed campers. The reach or extension is 14" to 21.5", and they're covered with a lifetime warranty.Now, when you're setting this system up for the time, you want to do so according to the included instructions.
Once you have the unit set up for your application, using it is super easy. All you have to do is hook one end of each turnbuckle onto your camper and then hook the other end to the tie down. To tighten, again you flip the lever action handles down. That's going to apply the necessary or appropriate tension. Then when you're ready to release, just flip the handle up.
That's all there is to it.Because it can easily connect and disconnect, one easy and the other being really fast, this is also a great feature if one of the attached turnbuckles covers your truck's fuel tank door. Just flip up the handle, unhook the turnbuckle, move it out of the way and you're ready to fuel up. Place it back into position, make sure the tension's applied, and then you're ready to hit the road.That's going to do it for today's look at the Torklift locking fast gun turnbuckles.

Troklift usually has 5 star solid products, but the quality has dropped. One had dirt in it, like it had been dropped on the floor, which is a pain cleaning from greased threads. Another had OK but clearly amateur welds. Compare new (top) with my old(bottom)
I really enjoy these. Very easy to install when attaching my Truck Camper. Only have to adjust once and forget it.
These are great. One of mine runs in front of the fuel door. No problem, just pop it loose and out of the way. Easy peasy.
I am totally happy with the design/engineering and the quality of the TorkLift Truck Camper tie-downs. After installation of the frame mounts, the process of tying down the camper is simple and fast. etrailer helped by providing written and video information on the frame mounting and Turn buckles. After the order was received eTrailer did a great job of communicating the status of my order all the way to delivery. One other thing, I like about etrailer is they ask me to write a review one year after my purchase. One year gives me time to use the equipment, I have used it many times, and it has held up and I still see a value of the product.
This is my 2nd set of FASTGUN Tiedowns. I can't even tell you how old the last set is. I'm replacing them because they are just plain worn out. Good use. Served me well. ETRAILER great.
Ditch the chain turnbuckles. A bit pricey but not many other alternatives out there that aren't junk.
Turnbuckles work as expected. I needed the quick release turnbuckles due to the fact that the fuel fill door was located directly behind my standard manual turnbuckle. The fuel fill door only opened about 50 degrees and I did not want to scratch the paint on my new truck.
I love the Forklift tie-downs and Fast Gun turnbuckles. This is my second camper and truck setup, so this is my second set of tie downs but my first set of Fast Guns. The tie downs are great. I love that they are frame mounted instead of bed mounted. The truck and camper move like one unit. It feels very stable and I am completely comfortable taking the 4x4 truck anywhere I want with the camper attached. The Fast Guns are extremely nice and easy to operate. They definitely decrease the time required to attach and detach the camper from the truck. I am very happy with the whole setup.
Excellent product - the complete setup with all 4 turnbuckles and locks. They were easy to assemble and convenient to use. These turnbuckles hold the camper stable. If I need to remove the camper from the truck they are easy to take off, adjust and put back on later. In addition, due to the location of my gas tank one of the turnbuckles blocks it. So far this has not caused any issues because it only takes a moment to remove that one, pump gas, and put it back on.
I don't know pieces and parts missing from package
Very durable and efficient product to use. Adjust it with the right measurement at the first use and you will not need to adjust them again when removed. The install process will be very quick and easy on the next trip.
I was able to take long trips and going off-road with my truck camper on the bed of my pick-up truck with only these device holding and keeping everything in place. Very secure and gives good peace of mind. Also, looks good with the pick-up and camper installed. We will purchase one again from Etrailer if needed it in the future.
Outstanding product. Just finished over 8000 miles of traveling. So much easier leveling and re installing tie downs. No problems whatsoever. Quicker than chains and turnbuckles by far. And they look very cool.
The camper has never moved and I go to some rugged areas. Very well pleased. Also a+ rating for e trailer top notch employee’s and staff. If they don’t know the answer they will find the answer.
One of our 4 locks was not unlocking. Lauren was amazing and got us out a new set. On the road again. Thank you etrailer!
Easy to use once you have your lengths adjusted. I added a little pipe insulation at the top on the one that goes over my gas tank door. When I stop for gas, all I have to do is unlock it and let it hang from the camper mount then easily reattach when done.
TorkLift frame mounted tie downs, Torklift Fast Gun tie downs - AWESOME! Arrived Thursday as promised, picked the new Cirrus camper this morning. Installed the frame mounted tie downs - front and back - 1hour 45 minutes. Thank you etrailer!
They are a great product, they look and work very well. I have had them installed for a year and used several times. I am very satisfied with the ease of installation and how they are out off the way when not in use. The only drawback to the camper tie down assembly was the cost, it is rather a pricey kit, but other than that they are exactly what I expected.
Worked great no need to readjusting every time there remover m
TorkLift FastGun Turnbuckles are a huge time saver. I would definitely buy them again!
I haven't used them yet to tie down a camper, but I have no doubt that they will work perfectly. I did my research and they are highly rated.
Great turnbuckles. High quality material. However for nearly $xxxx they should be perfect. one of mine came with chips in the coating and one of the rivets was not fully seated and had come with scratches all of the way though the coating on the inside of the lever. There was not enough clearance for the rivet to clear the lever, they just closed it and called it good??? Quality control measures are coming up short. Unfortunately I don't have the time or desire to get a replacement so now I have to deal with the small defects. For that price it would be fair to say that they should ship in perfect condition. This is my second set of these and the first ones had similar issues.
Ordering from Etrailer was great and shipping was fast. but USPS was slow, (as usual) package was hung up in Portland OR, for four days. Ordered on Tuesday, received following Monday. Our government at work…
Product was excellent, received in excellent condition, but some assembly is required, All in all, two thumbs up….
useful and easy specfically like the ease to refill the truck fuel tank

The fast guns have worked beyond expectations. We were hit by a tractor trailer in Jacksonville back in December. The fast guns held and did not fail. The camper didnt fair as well . But with out the fast guns the camper probably would have been a total.
