  • Good grief people. Although everyone has a right to their own opinion, can't you just say THANKS for sharing the idea? If you were going to comment 'just buy one', why are you watching a DIY option for a mount? This is good in a pinch for those who need to travel last minute for work. But it sounds like most folk here probably don't travel for work and don't know how difficult it can be when the adhesive no longer works in multiple rental cars or the air vents are different in each one, and better yet when you're just trying to return the rental car and book it to the terminal to catch your flight and forget your mount. Yeah, a $5 mount is nothing when it's just in your personal car and stationary. Try moving it to multiple cars and maybe forgetting it a few times, it'll add up with re-purchase. Just say thanks people.

    If my dad sent me to the tool box for a wrench and I came back with PLIERS, like this guy has, I’d be slapped into next week. Sheeesh!!! Obviously this guy is an office jockey. None the less it’s a pretty good idea!! Thanks!!

    You can also place a microfiber towel or paper towel when bending the clip arms to avoid scuffing the rubberized coating off of the arms. This is an awesome idea!! And I love the last comment in the video, “I practically stole all the materials..”. 😂😂😂

    AWESOME! 👏🏽 my dad was planning on buying one of these holders, but then I sent him this video and now he’s REALLY considering to do it. He changed his mind really quickly 😂😂

    Hard to believe this guy has ever used a wrench before.
