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.

Ratings & Reviews
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 turnbuckle set works great with our Torklift Custom Mounted Tiedowns system we recently purchased. Assembly of turnbuckles was relatively simple and attaching them to the Tiedowns is duper dimple. The locks are just a "peace of mind" purchase, as the included pins are secure, too. The camper feels much more secure than with our old system that simply attached to the truck bed.
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.
these fastgun turnbuckles are clean and easy to use. the auxiliary parts - flat washer and nylock nut are somewhat difficult to install.
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 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.
Waiting over week for missing parts, still nothing and etrailer went completely dark. Will never buy from them again.
I love the fast guns. I used to have the kind where you kept turning and turning, and it was really hard on my wrists and forearms. And it took so long that it made me not want to take the camper off my truck. With the torque lift fast guns, I don’t hesitate to take the Camper off the truck.
They were easy to assemble, and quick to adjust and install on camper and truck. It was a nice surprise to have locks included
Excellent produce, much better than the turnbuckle tie downs I had been using for 40+ years.
We had happy Jack tiedowns previously and replaced them with vast guns. Very, very happy with the difference.
The turnbuckles worked perfectly, very easy to put together and install.
Came nicely packaged. Assembly is straightforward. They should make taking the camper of much quicker. Also included locks to keep them from being removed and stolen as well as falling off.
These are a breeze to put together and use, A little trick to to help tighten the locking nut just flip them upside down and push and turn the threaded rod with a wrench holding the fastguns between your shoes.
Miss Kaitlynn the Fastguns are a little bit cheaper made than they used to be. The best thing in buying them was you helping me get my tax exemption filed with ETrailer Thank You so much Ron
Fast guns are the only way to go. What used to take 20 minutes now takes 5.
I know it's not your fault, but one set of Torklift fast guns had small oily gravel or sand all in the turn buckle and 1/2" rod. I cleaned it the best I could; I can only hope I got it all out of the spring.
Getting my Ram ready for a truck camper. Torklift is the way to go. Easy to assemble, just follow the instructions. Thanks etrailer for the prompt shipping and Torklift for the quality Fastguns.
The product was shipped quickly but there was a manufacturer's defect on one set. etrailer quickly responded to my email (on a weekend no less) and initiated the return and sent out a new set right away. I am using these fastguns on my new (to me) truck camper which I will be using for winter ski trips and a planned trip to Alaska!
Very impressed with the quality of these. The locks that came with it you really have to push tightly to get them to lock. Which means they are not all sloppy and do not rattle. Just have to be extra cautious that it actually locked. After traveling about 2,000 miles, I can safely say they work amazing and my camper stayed very secure.
Etrailer always comes through providing quality products and excellent service. Thank you again for supplying another great product on time and in great condition.
product is fantastic. usps is terrible. A monday deliver did not make it until Thursday. Other carrier option would be nice.

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.
