Striker Hand Tools 00246 Ultra-Sonic Adjustable Garage Parking Sensor

Brilliant idea. Works really well and easy to fit. Highly recommend.

Excellent product. Easy to install and use (sticks well to my block wall using the pads provided, but I have yet to see how it holds in the summer months). Calibration of the stop distance is simply a matter of driving up to the required distance and pressing the button. Thereafter, the lights turn red as soon as this distance is reached when driving in. It appears to be very accurate, as I have a very limited space available and this product enables me to park at the correct distance every time.

1) It works well 2) It is very easy to set up 3) It is battery operated and I was concerned how long they would last - after over a month, it is still working well.

Stopped working few weeks in; flashing amber only and never moves to red. It was actually a great item at first; easy to setup and worked every time we parked the car in the garage.

It is very easy to set up and use (worth noting that it doesn’t come with the 4X AA to operate it so make sure you have these!!!) it can connect to USB power (again that lead isn’t included but if you’re anything like me you’ll have 100’s of these leads just doing nothing in your home!) the unit sticks to the wall or surface with Velcro strips (which it DOES have) and clear precise instructions. If your car is a tight fit in your garage it’s a must!!!

Much smaller than I thought which is good. However, I find the stopping distance a bit hit and miss. E.G.: I've set 6 inches. In reality that could be 7-15. Kind of beats the purpose.

Brought a new car almost the length of the garage so I needed something to stop me hitting the rear wall. Thought I would give this a go, came in good time in a very small package attached the sensor to a board left the light on a shelf in my eye line there are no screw fixings only double sided tape so leaving the light on a shelf means I can change the batteries without any hassle. Reversed the car in to the garage green amber then red stopped 6 inches from the sensor . Have done this a few times now and all stops within 6 to 8 inches, this product does what it says on the tin excellent.

Cannot recommend this enough. I have a double garage that fits my 5 series estate with a few inches to spare. Due to this I can’t rely on the parking sensors. This stops me within millimetres of my set stopping distance every time allowing me to turn the parking sensors off. Really easy to fit and set up. Even sticks to dusty breeze block.

pratrique, fonctionne correct

Es funktioniert einwandfrei. jederzeit gerne wieder.

funciona bien, es chino, pero sí jala

My spouse was excellent at parking her last SUV but the new Defender has a different profile and barely fits in our garage with the spare wheel mounted, as it does. This neat gadget allows her to park precisely, without worry about hitting the wall or steps. If there is a downside, suggest purchasers check the setting on occasion, as sometimes the red light triggers a slight bit later and the vehicle is then a few inches in further than desired. I reset ours once and it is excellent. Highly recommend this over many others I have tried in the past with other vehicles. Update 4-20-21 Okay, I love this parking aid. So much that I ordered another as we have two full size Defender SUV's in a standard garage. These allow parking right to the max and when the red light goes on I know not only have we left enough space to walk around the front, but also to assure the garage door doesn't hit the rear mounted spare tire on the two vehicles. However, the latest purchased parking aid was quirky, flashing red continuously for no reason. The manufacturer was amazing in offering assistance and tips and when it was determined the unit was faulty, shipped a new unit as a replacement. The replacement works like a charm. 5 Stars for an excellent product and 5 more stars for unrivaled customer service! And as a tip, maybe use lithium batteries in the unit as they have a very long service life compared to other dry cells. We are using them and even after two and a half months the first unit we installed is still going strong.

After reading other reviews I was worried about battery longevity. So I installed this using a relay attached to my garage door opener. Simply attached a 3 ft extension cord into a socket extension into the garage doors light bulb socket, the powered my relay using a mico USB. Relay has capability to shut off after a user selected time. Now when my garage door opens the parking sensor turns on and stays on for 3 mins before turning off. It turns on again when ever the laser is tripped whichnis handy for those times you open the garage door but don't park in the garage right away. Also if I'm in the garage for a long period of time working the parking sensor is off so I'm not getting the annoying flashing every time I get close to it. I may end up wiring the parking sensor to a transformer if battery life span isn't as long as I hoped.
