ConsHook doesn't fit around thick ground anchors. The straps also appear to expand and contrast when they get wet. It would also be nice if you could purchase just one replacement strap instead of having to buy all 3. General CommentsThe hook and latch are now coated, which should hold up better compared to the older style ones. At the time of this writing, Sportys still shows the picture of the older style uncoated latch. |

Consspring that holds the hook closed could be a little stronger. Had a problem with the hook slipping off of the ground eyelet while attaching the wing hook. Also the 6' could be replaced with another 9' strap. At our airport, the distance to the rear tiedown is a little long when the wings are already tied, so it doesn't quite reach if I parked it just a little bit off-center. General CommentsWal-mart sells a similar product for about $15, but the straps are only 6' and it doesn't have the spring/snap thing that keeps the hook from coming off if it goes slack for a moment. I think that the Sporty's item is a good buy for what you get. I would just like for the tail strap to be a little longer. |

ConsI like the secure hooks, but they will not work with all tie downs, so better take some caribeaners or rope just in case. General CommentsGreat product. A bit pricey, but serves the purpose. |
