Big Rig Defense: Hickory Stick Tire Thumper - Fish Bat Knocker - Truckers Tool for Checking Tire Pressure - Weighted Stick with Extra Grip

My husband and niece, both drive big rigs and travel across the country. I found this useful for them.

Looks gorgeous, has a great finish, good weight, the rubber grip is grippy and comfortable, the string seems to robust. Got this an another brand at the same time and sent the other one back.

Great little "thumper" to keep in your vehicle...just in case you need one :D

Right out of the box, the quality was amazing, save one thing, but I’ll get to that. Perfect size and good for small to large hands. Not to thin, not too think, great weight and easy to grip.As a trucker, having a quality tire thumper is almost a necessity. You can quickly gauge the air in your tires just by the bounce back and sound. The grip feels great making it easy to use and functional.My only complaints: The grip they use is a plastic Velcro like material. It’s simply “stuck” on there like a grippy tape. The top grip was already peeling off. Maybe that’s due to the cold, but in Ohio, we are in the middle of winter. I pressed it back on and it seems to grip ok, but I’m now worried it’ll peel again once left in the truck. Should that happen, I’ll wet some cord and wrap it myself. The rest of the thumper is perfect for the price so I won’t be sending it back. I think the manufacturer should consider a different type of grip though to prevent peeling and such. Should they all fall off, the finish is slick and you could easily lose your grip. The lanyard at the end should prevent you from accidentally throwing it though. It’s a thinner nylon cord which I intend to replace with some paracord.Overall, I think it’s a good purchase that just needs some minor upgrades.

Great to hold, works, fits right next to my car seat, and looks cool! And I also use it as a tire thumper 😊

Great quality, necessity for every driver!

Excellent! The grip feels like it would rip my hands apart so I fixed it with some cute strawberry designed tennis racket grip tape. I’m ready for my solo walks again after getting assaulted last year on my walk.

Works great for quick tire pressure checks at the gas station. And provides security as well.
