The One and Only Super Simple Back-Saving Truck Stick

Tired of getting on your hands and knees in the pickup bed to unload your gear? Here’s a two-minute, ten-dollar lifetime solution


If you’re still crawling around in the bed of your pickup truck to retrieve a dog collar or fish out that wet sock gone AWOL, know this: Your friends and family are a little weary of seeing your backside in full plumber mode.

Although I bet there’s one on both the Blue Origin and SpaceX modules. Check out the video below to see it in action:
