I am completely satisfied with the product. However, I had two problems; 1. One of the metal baking plates was missing from the box. 2. The online video on installation needs to be corrected to reflect the proper size hold saw to use. The video indicates you should use a 4 3/8" hole saw; however, if you use this size saw, the D-ring anchor base will not seat properly. In addition to purchasing a 4 3/8" blade, I had to go back and purchase 4 1/2" blade, which worked perfectly. Small difference in size, but big difference in fit.
The video recommends you be very careful about making sure the holes drilled are perfectly vertical, and they are correct! The holes in the backing plate are barely big enough for the bolt; so beware.
The good news is that customer service was prompt and immediately shipped me a replacement unit, not just the backing plate. Once installed, this is one sturdy anchor and should easily handle my wife's new Polaris Ranger.1452319

I wish the 4 items would of all been the same. In my order I got one which had carriage bolts and three had standard bolts. Also two of the four had four holes in the bottom for water drainage. I did drill the other two to match. I would of liked to have all carriage bolts but they need to have square holes on top part, only one of mine had. Thanks.783871

I promised Amy that I would follow up after installing the d rings kit. I'll start by saying it is a very good concept. To have the d rings swivel flush mount setup makes the system very versatile which is a big plus. The install had some major problems that I shared with Amy when placing my order. There are multiple videos on YouTube that address these issues and Amy wasn't aware of these videos,so I promised her I would follow up with her as to what my experience was. Your install instructions on your website instructs us to use a 4 3/8 hole saw which I used. The hole is clearly to small for the d ring housing to fit in the hole pictures included. This is mentioned in all of the videos on YouTube. I will include pictures of the original hole and a final picture of the hole after I had to widen the hole with a jig saw. Also your website is confusing because it displays a picture of the d ring set using regular hex bolts that don't support the system to sit flush. Amy assured me that all the kits come with carriage bolts, which my kit did thank you. I can assure you it would help you sell more kits if you update the picture to include the carraige bolts and square plate hole setup. I really like the durability structure of the kit and now that it's installed, look forward to putting them to work. I hope my feedback helps with future marketing.

I installed these as part of my project to replace the floor of my 16 ft. utility trailer. I was able to drill and chisel the countersink without too much trouble. It is challenging to drill the holes for the bolts to align perfectly with the bottom bracket. In fact, I am not sure I could have done so with all the other boards installed. I recommend doing this as part of a new floor install. I agree with some other comments that the bolt holes are very close to the countersink hole. This makes it very difficult to avoid collapsing the bolt drill hole into the countersink hole, which further affects the ability to drill straight. I think if I were to do it again, I’d mark the boards, take them off the trailer, and use a drill press. All that said, I really like the look and function of these anchors. I think they will perform well in the rough-sawn oak floor. Here are some pics of the finished job:1394217

The mounting holes are too close to the inside edge of the bracket. This significantly weakens the installation on wooden floors. A 4 3/8 hole saw does NOT allow the swivelling ring to mount flush. Significant grinding away at the 4 3/8 hole is needed to get the ring to mount flush. Brophy needs to move the mounting holes out at least 1/4" to allow the bolts to be drilled through the wood floor it is mounted on, and recommend a 4 1/2" hole saw to make the installation to fit perfectly.1449850

I love these D-Ring Anchors.. Quality and solid. Installation is fairly straight forward.. I have a car hauler and wanted something on the deck I could mount the car too.. I have used several times and zero issues.. I trust connecting any vehicle to those anchors.1091457

Outstanding.. Have used those D-Ring anchors quite a bit with no failures or issues.. No rust.. Glad I have them on my trailer

Well made product, quick shipping, great customer service once again.
I used a router with a mortise bit to get a round and flat bottomed hole to install the hold-downs.
Much cleaner than the "use a hole saw and screwdriver out the chunks" install shown on the video.
Only issue is that the kits come with regular bolts.
Should have carriage bolts to allow loaded material to slide across the top of the folded tie downs.595885

Still would prefer carriage bolts in the installation kit for cargo to slide across rather than catch and damage the cargo. That change would make these the BEST PRODUCT by far.

Love these with one exception. If you're installing in wood, be careful when drilling the mounting hole so close to the recess hole. There will be very little material between the two that it tends to splinter and migrate. Not sure what the solution would be except a larger base plate to spread the mounting holes further out.1345310

Have to admit it should be difficult to get excited when delivery hands you a box of backing plates. However when the box is 4x heavier than you expected you start to wonder. These are the best plates I have ever seen. Solid built. Great flush mount attaching hardware and backing plate is thick. Finish looks solid but I will spray with Rustoleum for additional confidence. Also think the swivel gives me a lot more options for product placement.1333029

I'm not exactly sure why these cost what they do, so -1 star.

Installation is super easy.

USE THE BACKING PLATE to drill the 4 holes. Don't mark and then drill. Just use the plate and let er rip. I used a jig saw with a fresh wood blade for the big hole. No bother with a giant hole saw.

The ad shows regular hex head bolts, but mine came with the want regular carriage bolts.

I am not too excited they are not galvanized though. These things are right there on the underside of the trailer bound to turn into rust turnips, so be sure to spraw with some weather protection the underside.852935

We love these! Prior to installing these on our flatbed, the straps would have to be routed through the stake panels which would eventually pop the bottom boards loose and/or bend the metal posts. These give us an option to tie down inside the perimeter of the flatbed which is great! Will buy again for sure!1171329

OEM Tiedowns on my featherlight trailer
super fast shipping and a fair price
I only gave three stars because it came missing hardware for one of the D rings and I had to wait a week for the hardware1185709

I used these on a 24' enclosed trailer as tie downs for a compact tractor with attachments (bucket, brush hog, grapple, etc.). These worked well to hold tractor in place while traveling. Installation was pretty easy, just use the backing plates as template for cutting holes. Place backing plate and tie-down and tighten bolts.974173

I ordered 8 and 7 are very nicely fabricated. The one looked like it was not formed correctly, but it is likely serviceable.
Great performance on shipping from the etrailer.
Thank you1186797

I love these anchors. The are such a nice addition to my trailer, making tie-downs of vehicles/cargo much easier. I’m seriously thinking about adding two more in the middle of the trailer to make securing smaller items easier. They are fairly easy to install, especially if you have drill and plunge router. I used the backing plate as a template to drill the mounting holes, secured backing plate with just two bolts while using router with top guide bit to cut out hole just deep enough for anchor to fit in, then drilled a drain hole in bottom of cutout to allow any moisture to drain out. It worked like a charm and made installation go very quickly.897280
