The towbar does not fit a Piper Comanche

TOWBAR PIPER DELUXE

The product was excellent. It has features my original tow bar did not have. My only complaint was it took almost two months to get it. As it was out of stock.

Does not fit into the receiving holes on the nose gear assembly without struggle and hitting the bottom of the cowling. I suppose the prongs could be bent but I was not willing to take the risk of damaging them.

Nice tow bar but could benefit from having the pull on both sides of the main bar instead of just the right side.

Works great and seems to be tough enough to last. This is a wonderful upgrade over the way too short towbar Ive been using.

Opens to 4.5 feet for more mechanical advantage in moving your plane. Also has a locking mechanism that prevents the prongs from slipping out of the eyelit on the landing gear strut. A huge improvement over the rusty, 2-foot tow bar I used to have.

Works great on my Tomahawk. Especially like the bottom spring loaded retaining bar. Wontslip out and easy to turn. Foldable easy to store

This towbar is a great option for those who are looking for a better hand-tow. The ability to lock it in reduces the need to fear the towbar popping out of the holes and striking your aircraft. The ability to extend the towbar also gives you more leverage. This was exactly what I need for my 1969 Cherokee 140 (PA-28-140).

Defiantly needs re engineered , not enough bend in the ends. I fell first time I used them because it came off of nose gear . Wouldn’t buy again

I’m using this tow bar on a Cherokee 6 (PA-32) and it fits perfect on the airplane. The length of the tow bar is perfect. I’m very happy with it.

Excellent service. Very good towbar. Fits my Cherokee 180 perfectly. Should have bought one years ago.

Works great, thank you.

Great! Works perfectly and collapses to fit behind the back seats.

Much better than the original tow bar which slipped loose just about every time I tried to turn the nose wheel. Simple design, but it works.

Works great!

The extra length of this tow bar makes moving my aircraft much easier. It moves the handle from underneath the propeller allowing for better vision and leverage.

Threw my 1967 original tow bar in the garbage after I received and tried out the new one. No more broken teeth from the old one slipping out of the holes and my face hitting the propeller spinner LOL

Great item, exactly what we needed.

Use this with my PA-28 140 it fits perfect! I like that it easily locks in place to ensure no slipping and is just as easy to remove. I am 100% satisfied with this tow bar.

Clips right on, makes solo parking e-z. Extension feature nice. 81 Archer II w/wheel pants, oem Piper tow bracket installed.

Not a bad product. Unfortunately the spring loaded retaining pins are not of equal length, so one side is more securely locked in than the other. This is a manufacturing issue not a service issue. Good service and communication- nice company to do business with.

Much lighter than expected. Definitely doesnt feel as solid as my old one-piece heavy towbar but does the trick and the lock pins was exactly what I was looking for.

TOWBAR PIPER DELUXE

Bought for my 1977 Piper Archer, much better than the original tow bar. I can now push the plane back without concern of injury to myself as I had to with the original tow bar. Two things to note, the paint seems to be easy to flake off, but Im not really concerned about it. Also, this doesnt quite fit exactly in the original tow bar holder, but you can finagle it a bit and it should stay in all but the worst of turbulence.

Happy to get this TowBar purchased during my busines trip in USA, even more I was happy that this was well fitting in my luggage so no problems to bring it home in Finland. Quality of TowBar looks good painting work can be bit better.

Great transaction, towbar was as advertised and came quickly. My only caveat is that for a Saratoga with wheel fairings/skirts, the adapter needs to be cut down as the prongs are too long and hit the tops of the fairings and would damage in use. Also, this unit will not fit into the factory mount in the plane, need to modify, we used velcro straps.

Fits PA32 steering connection securely and doesnt come off until you want it too! My particular item has a slight defect, probably manufacturing, the handle telescopes and uses a pin to secure in either, use length or storage length. Pin only fits through all holes when bar is oriented one way. I have marked it for quick reference now! I thought it was some sort of joke when I first got it and tried to insert pin with no success, then rotating inner pole 180 degrees it fit. Spruce CS referred me to manufacturer and manufacturer said Spruce has to make exchange because you bought it from them all this after extended time on hold which is when I figured out the error.

Not as good as it looks. The prongs are 1/8 smaller than the holes they are going into, so it really slops around in an annoying way when maneuvering. I had the feeling that this is also going to deform the holes in the tow plate. The prongs are too long and dig into the paint and metal on the nose wheel fork. I dont think it can be ground down enough to fix this problem. Also very heavy. Feels very loose and sloppy in use.

Extremely disappointed. The prongs do not have enough bend and do not lock properly. A crap towbar at a premium price, that came with paint defects. I strongly advise you do not buy.

Doesn’t fit Piper 6X

It looks like it should be a god product, however, it falls short. The prongs that hook into the nose gear are not even at 90*. They are only slightly angled and as a result, easily slip off when trying to steer the nose, whether pushing or pulling. I tried to bend them to achieve a better angle, but now the locking prongs do not engage properly. Still, it works better now that it did initially. I have some more tweaking to do before it will operate successfully.. For the price, I expected better. The welding looks shoddy and half-assed. At least it is covered well with paint. So much for this being a Deluxe towbar. Id hate to see what a standard or budget bar would look like.

Bought this to use with my PA-28-161. I love the length and the fact that it collapses for easy transport, but the angle of the prongs is terrible. The moment I put any torque on the bar to turn my nose wheel, one of the prongs will pop out. And even pulling it out of my hanger Ill lose a prong or 2. Im going to end up taking a torch to the prongs to give them a better gripping angle

I purchased this towbar for my 1979 Piper Dakota (fixed gear, Cherokee, PA28) but it did not work with the nose wheel fairing unless holes were cut in the fairing. Although AS agreed to refund the shipping cost TO ME. I had to pay the shipping costs back to them so best call the MFG directly to ensure it will work for your fixed gear Cherokee if you use wheel pants.

Took over 6 months to get - had to bend end of it to allow to fit because was too wide - works great now but what an ordeal!

This junk bent the first time I used it. Made of cheep Chinese metal.

Tow bar pops out when turning on my Archer even worse than the stock tow bar does, and doesnt fit in the baggage compartment holder. Ive advised Aircraft Spruce that the tow bar is defective, but they refuse to accept a return as its been used (how else would I know it doesnt work properly!). Ive been a happy Aircraft Spruce customer before - not this time.

Doesnt fit a Lance.

The product description states, fits most PA28s. Well it does not fit a PA28B, which is a Piper Dakota. This should be revealed in the add, not to be used with a Dakota.
