Kolpin Ratcheting Rhino Grip LinQ Pair - Secure 1-4 in Gear Holders

In this review the Kolpin Ratcheting Rhino Grip - LinQ - Pair is evaluated as a practical gear-carrying solution for riders who need a simple, strong way to secure medium-weight tools on Can-Am ATV and UTV racks. The bottom line: it is for people who want a compact, durable clamp that holds items from 1 to 4 in diameter and releases with one hand. The reviewer found the grips offer reliable carrying strength up to 15lbs and a no-fuss mounting system, making them a solid choice for hunters, anglers and trail workers who use the LinQ system.

Key Features

• Carrying strength: Rated for up to 15lbs, it reliably secures medium-weight tools and accessories without shifting on rough trails.
• Ratcheting grip: The indexed ratcheting arm adjusts to hold items 1-4 in diameter, so odd-shaped gear like bows or augers stays put.
• One-handed release: A quick-release button allows easy single-handed access to gear while wearing gloves or when dismounted.
• Durable construction: Heavy-duty nylon with inlaid rubber texture improves grip and resists wear in wet, muddy conditions.
• LinQ compatibility: Includes Can-Am LinQ compatible plungers for direct mounting to LinQ racks and also ships with mounting plates and hardware.

Who It's For

The Kolpin Ratcheting Rhino Grip is best for ATV and UTV owners who carry fishing rods, shovels, ice augers, bows or other tools that fall in the 1-4 in range and weigh less than roughly 15lbs. It particularly suits users who rely on the Can-Am LinQ system and want quick detach capability for switching gear between rides.

Those who need to carry very heavy equipment, oversized items beyond 4 in diameter, or who do not use LinQ-style racks should look elsewhere. Also, riders who require lockable theft-deterrent mounts will need to add separate security hardware because the grips are designed for quick access rather than lock security.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Easy installation and a nice fit to LinQ racks as reported by customers, making setup straightforward.
• Functional ratcheting adjustment lets two grips be set to different widths for odd-shaped gear.
• Strong rubber-inlaid nylon grip provides secure hold and resists slipping in wet conditions.
• Quick-release button enables one-handed operation for fast access in the field.

Cons

• Carry capacity is limited to medium-weight gear up to 15lbs, so heavy tools are not suitable.
• Not inherently lockable; users concerned about theft will need additional security solutions.
