Full details

This AB Tools Rubber Top Hat Standoff Buffer is designed for commercial or individual users seeking to protect vehicles and structures from impact damage. Its primary benefit is providing robust cushioning, preventing dents and scratches on tailboards, doors, walls, and floors.

FAQs

What material is the buffer made from?

The buffer is manufactured from durable synthetic rubber for maximum strength and longevity.

How is this buffer installed?

It is designed to be bolted onto a surface using appropriate hardware (bolts not included). There are pre-drilled 7mm fixing holes.

Can this buffer be used outdoors?

Yes, it can be used internally or externally and is made from materials designed for durability.

What is the primary function of the standoff?

The 38mm standoff creates a gap between the protected surface and the object causing impact, acting as a shock absorber and preventing direct contact damage.

Yes, while designed for professional use, it is suitable for individual users who need to protect their vehicles or property from impact damage and have the means to bolt it securely.

How many buffers are included in this listing?

This listing is for one (1) top hat buffer.

Troubleshooting

Buffer is not absorbing impact effectively

Ensure the buffer is securely bolted in place and positioned correctly to intercept the impact. Check for any obstructions preventing full contact.

Holes for mounting are too small/large

The fixing holes are 7mm in diameter. Use appropriate drill bits and hardware for your mounting surface. If the surface is soft, use larger washers to prevent pull-through.

Excessive wear on the buffer

If the buffer is showing signs of rapid wear, the impact force may be too high for a single buffer, or the angle of impact might be incorrect. Consider using multiple buffers or adjusting the mounting angle.
