Does it really need special tools? why is it that half of the people needed it and others did not?

If I remember correctly, you will need and allen wrench. It's very easy to install. Takes about 5-10 minutes.

You'll need Honda's rivet nut tool for some models. You can custom made with a nut, a bolt and some washers. It's not a good idea for repeated use, but it worked fine for me to install just two rivets.

I have a 2014 Civic Sedan and it did NOT require the rivet nut tool. There are two large rectangular holes next to the hole where the cargo hook goes. Just slide your fingers in there to get the bolt and washer in place. Then use a socket wretch to secure the hook on. Takes a minute or two.

It was a little bit of a pain to install, I'll admit. I had a friend of mine install it. He found it easier to use his Dewalt to install it, while I held one of the pieces inside (I have much smaller fingers). It just makes it easier.

It depend on you car type and version. Certain model year do not have the hole to fasten the nut and bolt. Thus you will need to use the supplied rivet nut. The special tool is needed to mount that rivet nut. Check online your model and the mounting option to be on the safe side

Manual, but it seems to rely on leverage to get its power, so it doesn't seem as though much strength is needed, if any. It seems like gravity can do most of the work too.

I may have used a phillips screwdriver but dont recall well, but most definitely needed a wrench and ratchet set, curiously I ended up using both a normal set and a metric set for assembling it.

Joseph, I know that some of their tools are built here in the US. However some are only assembled here using parts and components from US and from foreign. As for the entire combo being built here in the US. Maybe built and/or assemblied, but probably not all parts being manufactured here in the US.

I think we just used a screw driver or two. Maybe a hammer? It was time consuming because there were a lot of parts, but it wasn't particularly difficult.

Yes, but it does not include the special tool needed to perform part of the install.

No, it wasn't easy. You need at least 2 or more people to assemble. Time and effort. Once it is set up, it is a great shed.

Yes. There are really no special tools or skills required, but there are enough parts to keep a couple people busy for a day or two. I also have to stress how important a good gravel or cement base is to keep this level. That can also be work.

No it did not. Sorry. That is usually left to the buyer because it is difficult to know the hardware needed for every situation.

I guess I would say you can find something a lot better for that task but you'd have to pay a lot more for it. That's not what I use it for, and I tend to agree with the others that it won't be great. On the other hand, it might be good enough.

There is no best, these are tools that help assist you with the process. Each tools is different as not everyone may be comfortable using it. It may work for 1 tech but not for another.

No, it is quite easy. simple hand tools are all that are required (screwdriver, pliers, etc)

It is rather heavy and you really need another person to effectively use it to it's full potential.

Not that I am aware of but it did not require special tools or very much skill. My father in law and I were finished in under an hour.

Lol im afraid not some things require a bit of work. But it will help .. and it will help keep one if you have it .

Hello,You will need your 'Basic' tools. You will not need any special tools outside of you very basics.

I found it to be safe but I've got some kind of experience in dealin gwith such type of tools. But , f.e. my wife doesn't have such experience and I wouldn't give her this machine to operate. One point more-the very basic tech knowledge is in need to assemble it
