Hey! Thanks for those links! I like the monkey fist idea. Wish it was completely ready to go out the box. I might give that a go. Thanks again!
I built something like this for my Gobi rack. It should work for the Pro rack. I made two of them which you can mount in series depending on the length handles of your axe/shovels.

Thanks for the link! I am going to check it out. That looks awesome!
Sweet! THANKS!!
The dual mount clip for $100 is almost the same as the DIY I posted. I like how they've mounted the Quick Fists on either side of the clamp that mounts to the rack. Less levered torque on the clamp. Easy to do the same thing on the DIY too. To give you more information to compare build vs. buy, I spent about 1 hour making my own and it cost about $30 in parts. I guess it's a question of how much your time is worth
.My next project is to do the same kind of mounting clamp with a longer aluminum bar to mount my traction boards on the other side of the rack.

How is the left quick fist mounted to the plate? I see the nut hanging below on the right one. Did you counter sink something?
I drilled about 1/4" into the roll cage mount and used a 10-24 tap into the hole on both the aluminum bar and the roll cage mount.
