SafeAll Traffic Commander

#: SA-TC20 | Ron is a big fan of the Traffic Commander from SafeAll. Watch this video as he demonstrates the effectiveness of this three-in-one variable message sign. Available at Zips.com, the Traffic Commander displays both messages and arrows and also serves as a light bar in the stowed position. The sign is visible from 3,000 feet and can be read from 1,000 feet, giving passing motorists more than 10 seconds to react and respond to any roadside situation.

BUY IT!EZ Claw Extendable Cable Tieback

#: EZC-EXTENDTIEBACK | Ron recently installed EZ Claw's new Extendable Cable Tieback on his rotator. The tandem 40-lb. tensioner tethers the hook for the auxiliary winch line and provides the right amount of slack for boom travel. This setup prevents birdnesting on the winch spool and eliminates the need to free-wheel turret. Accessible from the ground, the retractable hook holder also keeps the tow operator from climbing up on the deck to retrieve the hook. Watch this video to see what Ron has to say about this tow-friendly safety accessory.

BUY IT!"The EZ Claw retractor tiebacks that we've got from Zip's AW Direct, they have worked beautifully. As the boom up, it takes the tension on the EZ Claw rather than the spring. And then as you come down, it retracts and holds the cable tight like it's designed to do." - Ron Pratt
