This product is titled "for dummies" and having bought 2 of these I am now certain I qualify. It is supposedly suitable for TV's up to 42 inches and c80lbs in weight. I bought 2 (based on Amazon recommendation) for my new 42 inch Toshiba TV's.
I am a structural engineer and have completed many home improvemnt products so I think I know the right tool for the job when I see it - upon opening the box I instinctively thought "this looks too small and unstable for a large TV" but decided to give benefit of the doubt and try it anyway.
The 2 small lag screws provided to fix the device to a single stud looked way too small for me so I added an additional batten behind the wall and installed 5.5 inch through bolts instead. The instructions are pretty poor - I think anyone unused to such projects would be confused and not figure out why so many surplus screws, bolts, washers and shims are provided (I am still not sure myself!). However I found what I needed, put the thing together and mounted the tv.
Instantly I was unhappy with the way that the tv wobbles around the single support axis, and how, despite the fact that the support was put in perfectly level, the TV sits at a drunken angle against the wall (the support is simply not stiff enough to counter any slight eccentricity in the weight of the TV).
My greatest frustration however was how easy it was to strip the threads on the adjusting nuts (I managed to do this to at least one without really trying) and also how the sockets in the nuts for the supplied allen key adjusting wrench can (and were) easily rounded off during the process of trying to turn them at an awkward angle behind the tv.
I now have a listing TV attached to a support which I can no longer properly adjust and which gives me little comfort that it can support the c75lbs my TV weighs in the long term. Despite the installation of through bolts all this load applied to a very small area causes the wall to creak and flex alarmingly every time I move the TV!
I have returned the second device without even attempting to use it and cant wait to replace the one I did use with something more suitable for the job.
In summary, may be an economical option for small TV's but not very robust or well made and certainly not man enough for the range of sizes claimed by the manufacturers.
I intend to go with my original gut feel and go with something much sturdier that will spread load across 2 studs.
