Pros
Straps are easy to adjust.
Cons
The hooks on the ends are probably a lot more heavy-duty than necessary. They are so big that they are actually difficult to make fit into the tie-down ports at many airports.
It would be nice if the straps themselves could be embroidered, rather than just the bag. That way everyone would know that they are not FBO property, but actually belong to your aircraft.

Pros
The "hook" on the end is so "beefy" that it will not fit the "eye" on the Claw Tie Down System.I know it was not intended for this,but would that not be better than the rope that comes with the Claw.? Just a thought.

Pros
Quick & easy to attach; they are easy to take with us so that, if there are no tie-downs available at our destinations, we are prepared.
Cons
The wing tie-downs only come in one length ... long. They are ideal for high wing aircraft but leave a lot of excess for low wing planes. I would like to see two versions of the product.
General Comments
I purchase most everything for our plane on-line and Sporty's, by far, provides the fastest turn-around on orders. We certainly appreciate 2nd day delivery.

Pros
Makes tying down a snap - or rather a pull. The system certainly locks the aircraft down more securely than regular tie down ropes.
Cons
They Rust, and are easily broken. Seems like the materials could be better selected for outdoor durability. The security latches that protect the tie down hooks from coming off the tie down rings were unusable within a few weeks.
General Comments
I wish I could find a better made system than these tie downs. I am on my second set. My previous set was no more than 1 year in service before they had to be replaced. Two issues arrose. Firstly, the metal ends rusted. What is the point of creating a system for the outdoors that does not stand up to the weather? Secondly, the latches and metal parts are easily damaged and rendered unusable. These tie downs are left in my tie down spot when I am flying. The gas truck or someone else ran over the metal parts. These crushed easily, and one of the latches broke. I was unable to undo the tie downs at the next flight and had to cut them off. Because of lack of choice, I bought a new set. Now I carefully protect the ends when I untie the aircraft, and as soon as I get hold of some old aircraft tires, I plan adding those to my tie down spot to try to protect my tie downs.
