NuFlySic Hatch Jammer Retractable Support Rod for Car Trunks 17.3–23.6 in — Compact Durable Auto Body Support

The NuFlySic Hatch Jammer is a compact, retractable support rod that holds hatches, trunks and lift gates open safely while you work on automotive body, paint or detailing tasks.

Professionals and DIYers who work on vehicle panels need a reliable way to keep a tailgate or trunk steady without a second pair of hands. The NuFlySic single-piece hatch jammer replaces a failing factory strut or serves as a temporary holding solution during repairs, sanding, painting, polishing and other bodywork. Built from robust materials, with an adjustable length range, it clamps and supports most hatch and door styles to prevent bouncing, accidental closures and damage to paint or hardware.

How does this tool keep a hatch stable while I sand, polish or paint?

The retractable support rod locks in position to brace the lift gate or trunk lid so it won’t move under light pressure or from tool contact. Its friction grip design prevents sudden slams and lets you focus on finishing tasks without a helper.

• Adjustable length: extends from 17.3 inches (44 cm) up to 23.6 inches (60 cm)
• Firm hold prevents bouncing during buffing and sanding
• Compact one-piece design fits most hatch and trunk gaps

Is the NuFlySic jammer compatible with my vehicle model?

Yes — the jammer’s telescoping range and universal clamp style suit a wide variety of cars, SUVs and light trucks. It’s intended as a general-purpose support, so check reach and clearance for unusually shaped or extra-large lift gates before installing.

• Universal fit for most hatch, trunk, lift gate and deck lid configurations
• Suitable for use on both left- and right-hinged doors where a single support point is needed
• Easy to carry and store in a toolbox due to compact retracted length

How durable and safe is this replacement holding rod?

The NuFlySic jammer is manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials chosen to withstand regular shop use. It’s built to resist bending or breaking during typical repair tasks, but should not be relied on as a permanent OEM replacement for hydraulic struts.

• Constructed from rust-resistant components for long service life
• Designed to resist common shop impacts and pressures
• Serves as a temporary or auxiliary support, not a permanent gas strut substitute

What tasks does this tool help me complete more easily?

The jammer streamlines solo work by securing the panel you’re working on, freeing both hands and improving precision. It’s useful across many bodyshop activities and in-field repairs where controlling panel movement matters.

• Holding lift gates and trunk lids steady for sanding, painting and polishing
• Preventing door bounce during dent repairs and panel alignment
• Allowing safe, hands-free access for detailers, mechanics and paint technicians

Who is this for: The NuFlySic Hatch Jammer is made for auto body technicians, painters, detailers, mechanics, dent repair specialists and committed DIYers who need a dependable, portable support while working on hatchbacks, SUVs and sedans. It’s a practical shop accessory for anyone who performs single-operator repairs, touch-ups or panel work and wants to protect finishes and hardware from accidental closing.
