Hello Fellow Vanagon Pilots! The message below I sent to the Vanagon list but I thought many of you might find these GoClaws interesting for off road and snow purposes. Let me start by saying I do not work for GoClaws and they are not paying me for these comments. I am just so impressed with the engineering of this product that I had to give everyone a report. GoClaws is an alternative to conventional tire chains. I like things that are unique and well engineered. This is why I like Vanagon Westfalia Campers. GoClaws is without a doubt a unique and well engineered product. There was some discussion on the list a while back about tire chains. This started me on my quest to find the perfect tire chain for my Vanagon. One day I stumbled upon GoClaws and I posted them to the Vanagon list for everyone to see. They seemed very intriguing so I ordered a set. I figured if they sucked I would try to send them back. I just got my set of GoClaws today and could not wait to try them out. We have been receiving lots of snow this week. Our ground in Western Michigan is covered by 10-14 inches of fresh, wet, heavy snow. Under the snow is a thick layer of ice because we started out the week with an ice storm. I have a 2WD Vanagon Westy that is absolutely terrible in the snow with its Michelin Agilis tires and standard 2WD transmission. But when I put the GoClaws on the rear tires today I blazed through fresh snow that was 10-14 inches deep. I even busted through a snow drift that was close to 2 feet deep. I took off down a two track trail that had not been driven on yet making new tracks and the van just ripped through it like an animal. For a fleeting moment I thought I was driving a Syncro. I was in the height of my glory when I got stuck going up a small grade. The snow was around 14-16 inches deep and had drifted in a low spot at the base of the small hill. My first thought was my wife was going to kill me. She was already laughing at me because she knew I was about to go do something stupid. But I was able to rock the van back and forth about 4 or 5 times, each time going farther up the hill until I made it out. My driveway is another good test because it is a steep sheet of ice. I could drive up the driveway and stop half way, and start out again without loosing traction. I was also able to back up the driveway slowly without loosing traction. My Vanagon has factory alloys on it so one thing that was important to me when I was researching tire chains was to find a solution that would not scratch the alloys. And these being rubber don't tear up the wheels. I love these things and can't wait to try them out on mud and sand. When I get a chance this summer to use them off road, I will give another report to let everyone know how they worked. I can't wait to go four wheeling again! (ok. two wheeling with style) Update-"I have now used a set of these on my bus for about 10 years. They work great in the snow and mud." Todd Olson Buses By the Beach

When Driveway Damage Matters

When Driveway Damage Matters
I purchased my GoClaws and my intentions were to use two sets (4 GoClaws) on my '87 Jeep Wrangler (photo attached) for snowplowing. I watched the online video that demonstrated the installation, and reviewed the instructions that accompanied the product. The GoClaws performed beyond my expectations! I plow two, or three driveways that consist of crushed stone, 200 - 800 feet long, all with steep inclines. After a few uses, the GoClaws loosened slightly, but were easily tightened up with the tool provided. They haven't slipped or loosened since. I'm nearing the end of my second snowplowing season using GoClaws and would highly recommend them to anyone considering chains. When the season ends, I hose my off, allow them to air-dry, separate the sections, fold them up, and store them in the bags provided. They are extremely convenient. Thank you for a great product. I really got my money's worth. Very Cordially, Robert Smutek

Our inability to deliver without chains has been evidenced in prior years by vehicle collisions, vehicle abandonment, enormous towing fees and deliveries not made.

"Finally got an opportunity to use our Flex Trax on a Trolley Bus - dual wheels on the rear. Started snowing halfway through a 6 hour gig. Driver stopped and put 'em on. First time using them. Driver said the (positive) difference was immediately noticeable. 6" of new snow in a few hours - didn't faze the Trolley after the Flex Trax units were put on. No more fears with Flex Trax. This will open up opportunities for winter use and winter revenue in the Trolley business... Well worth the money!" John Allin / Founder of SIMA (Snow & Ice Management Association)

"We live at about 9K feet, west of Colorado Springs, CO. A couple of years ago I was on-line, researching alternatives to chains for my 35x12.5x15. Decided on, and purchased two sets of the GoClaws.

Its January now and we’ve have several moderate snow falls. Over the weekend I took my oldest daughter on what was supposed to be a brief, uneventfully 4 wheel drive outing. We went on a familiar moderate trail not far from where I live. I was surprised at how much snow was still on the ground in areas, it was the wet, heavy kind of snow that fills the lugs on your tires and renders them almost useless. We hadn’t gone far before we got stuck. I was able to shovel enough snow, to retreat. Undaunted, we went around that obstacle and continued on. Soon we decided that there was enough snow in areas to take a short loop back and head for home.

That when we got stuck a second time. The difference being, there was no way to dig out. In front of us was about 100 yards of incline trail. The left wheels were in about 8 to 10 inches of wet snow and the right side was in about a foot and a half. Shoveling it would have meant a stroke.

 I have carried my GoClaws in the truck every winter; this would be the first time I needed to use them. I had practiced the installation when I first got them on dry, flat ground – it went just like the video.
But now I had to first dig out each wheel to correctly install the GoClaws. Back in the truck my daughter and I look at each other, we both knew this is our only chance to get out.
 In low gear, we give it the gas, and all four tires were moving forward. The GoClaws were digging in, and they don’t stop digging until we had traversed the snow field. At that point it was a tossup whether we we’re more impressed or just grateful that they had worked so well.

Tire chains would have failed us, that’s why I purchased the GoClaws. Anticipating that some day, I would need something more aggressive to help get me out, and the GoClaws delivered!

Got to love it when a plan comes together."

Thanks for thinking Tony

GoClaws is where it all started back in 1997! The unique dual locking pins slide into the opposing keyhole slots which provides for a secure positive locking mechanism, and very durable trax assembly that will last you many years if properly washed, rinsed and dried, then kept in the included convenient storage bag.

OPT (Office of Pupil Transportation) researched potential snow chains to be used for school buses.  The SnoClaw product was tested and determined to be the only product that meets the size specifications of school bus wheels (Type A and Type C), satisfies the need for temporary, quick installation, and provides the level of performance we expect to achieve when transporting NYC school children. Considering the bus vendor will be responsible to perform the installation, it’s important the equipment could be easily installed.
