Hood Safety Lift Prop

The Steelman 301111-KH is a telescopic support designed to hold a car hood open during maintenance. It replaces a factory strut or prop rod when extra reach is needed. Mechanics and DIY owners use it for engine bay access on a wide range of vehicles.

Thermals noise and power

This is a passive mechanical tool with no electrical components, so it produces no heat, no noise and draws no power. The aluminum and steel construction resists corrosion under normal shop conditions. Operation stays consistent regardless of temperature.

Telescopic range 25 in to 5 ft

The prop extends from 25 inches to 5 feet, covering most hood heights without adjustment steps. A single piece weighs little and stores flat in a tool drawer. Buyers who need a fixed-length prop or a powered lift should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Steelman 301111-KH hood prop and what step is most often missed?

Extend the telescopic tube from 25 in to the needed length, seat the rubber ends on the hood latch and the radiator support, then lock the collar; the step most often missed is verifying the collar is fully engaged before releasing the hood.

What maintenance or replacement will the Steelman 301111-KH prop need later?

Inspect the aluminum and steel tube for dents or corrosion, clean the sliding surfaces, and lubricate the locking collar; replace the unit if the extension mechanism no longer holds at 5 ft.

What limit appears first on the Steelman 301111-KH prop during sustained use?

The telescopic mechanism is rated to extend only to 5 ft; holding a heavy hood beyond that length will cause the collar to slip first.
