I haven't seen the bad quality turn buckles all these guys are posting about.
The Happijac quick loads are equivalent to the Torklift derringer anchor guards and not the fast guns. But they all do the same job.
I've had all three. The Happijacs work great. I had Torklift frame mounts so I had to use a short piece of chain on each to make them reach.
I currently have a set of Torklift fast guns and a set of Torklift derringer anchor guards I bought prior to my current TC.
The fast guns are slightly easier to use, as in they reach the torklift tie down bracket and you don't have to bend over and put the chain on the hooks before tightening. If you have the happijack tie down bracket then no chain required.
As far as quality, the fast guns are a bit heavier duty but since tie down pressure of 300 lbs is recommended, what's the point, but they are sexier. With many it's also a prestige thing.
If when I sold my previous TC, the buyer hadn't talked me out of my Quick Loads, I would still be using them and if my current TC hadn't come with fast guns, I would be using the derringer anchor guards I bought.
Any one of the three will work great, so it's up to what you want, how much you want to spend, how much you trust others opinion, and finally how good they look on you.
