I had my machine and Rod Rejuvenator for a couple of years and the rejuvenator works as it should. As stated before by other reviewers it hold the rods securely and can be a little difficult to unlatch. Over time this has not changed. There's a little trick to snapping them out that with a little practice you can make it a little easier. It holds the rods straight and it looks great on the machine when all is said and done. My rods look and feel the same as the day I recieved them and that was over 2 years ago.

A must if you buy power rod system. I wish I had bought with my system. I am sure if I had bought right away my rods would be stiffer. Little hard getting rods in and out but worth the effort. I would buy again.

Great way to preserve the resistance of the power rods, just snap them back when you finish your workout. Makes choosing your resistance easy too!

It should be simple to make a product that neatly organizes the Extreme 2's rods, looks great, and is simple to operate. Unfortunately, Bowflex nailed only 2 out of 3: the most important one (being simple to operate) is a swing and a miss. Sure, this colorful little gizmo looks great and does a nice job of organizing and rejuvenating the rods after a workout. But after a month of using it, it never got any easier to remove the rods (particularly the bigger ones) from the jaws of the holder. I can't tell you how many times I've scraped my knuckles fighting with this thing. The bottom line: I've gone back to the handy little piece of velcro that came with the Extreme. It doesn't look as slick, but it sure is easier and less painful to use.

looks like the item just keeps the rods upright and tied together from the left side of weights to the right side. Why couldn't someone just use a strong ratchet strap and strap them all together, Looks like its the same concept of tying them all together upright??!
