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.

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.

I was able to install and calibrate two of these sensors in less than an hour. I found the instructions easy to follow (not always true for technical products.) The display is big enough to see clearly from far out into the driveway but is not big enough to be a nuisance in the garage. The display is only lighted when it detects something moving in front of the sensor. I did not try to operate this with battery power; I purchased two USB-A to USB-C cables along with a power adapter with USB-A ports that mounts to the power outlet on the back wall of the garage. I don't like to permanently install household items that constantly need new batteries. The photo is right after I installed the units. Once I've used them for a while and am certain that I like where they are located, I will hide the cables with cable tracks so that the installation looks professional.

Unit works well, at least it will stop people hitting the gate
