It's called a Striker. I guess because they break mounts(and mirrors) off and strike the ground.

Pic was taken at the OKC TA radio shop.

For perspective,all but the blue one are Predator 10K size.
 
Haha, I've seen quite a few of the smaller ones on trucks in OK and KS, most have some sort of tether on them. I guess to catch them when they fall off.
 
I got a closer look at one with a tether. There's a 5/16 to 3/8 inch hole in the lower shaft that the tether is threaded through, the tether material is plastic coated metal clothesline LMAO
 
I understand it's an old thread but just wanted an opinion cause it's true, I have seen a lot of truckers with them.
