It looks great in the advertisement but so do a lot a of products. If it works a hundred times without breaking I'll get one. It looks too simple to actually work well. It's not to expensive, if it works as advertised. Do you have to leave it on all the time or does it come off easily when you don't want it? Anyone? Has anyone here actually used it.

Trust us, it works... sort of. At least it worked for a friend of mine who was trying to offload a really badly overbuilt camper shell from the truck his father gave him for college.

But it's still better than shoveling the whole load. Two things –
