(By the way, I don't think the "colorful flag" comes with it.)

The flag does not come with it but is a clever added touch. I have now been banned at the "other" site for offering this safety item there. Bunch of BS but that is how they roll. Great guys here!


If you need a anti-fall hood prop key give me a PM or email me. Thanks to all for your support.......

Is this an issue? Or do you guys just like that colorful tag?

Yep. Mine caught wind at a show before I could get the "Carters prop key" put in it - and came right down. Luckily I was right there and caught it before it slammed down. After that I have key in hand when lifting hood...

Thanks for the heads up and glad you or anyone else did not get hurt before using my anti-fall hood prop key.



It can't be stressed enough how this one safety item can save you and others in the long run. Thanks again for making yourself safe, Carter
