Sorry for the abrupt response.

My fault on the number - the correct one is 601-932-5832.

I did an informal test of the unit. Found that most difficult looking dirt
around the airport and drove one of them in. It was easy to insert though
it took a few minutes. I was impressed by it's apparent holding strength.
I was impressed with the design and the execution. The slightly modified
claw hammer and the carry bag were nice touches. It comes with instructions
that are simple, easy to overlook, but that should be followed.

Funny thing about portable tiedowns - for most pilots it is a less than once
a year requirement. But it only takes one incident to convince one of the
importance. Sometimes it is worse than lost equipment - I had an
acquantance killed by an a/c that flipped on him due to a dust devil.

Regarding Belvoir pubs. Of all their pubs, I've found Aviation Consumer to
be the most easily cost justified. Given the cost of most aviation related
items, making just one correct aviation purchase decision, or avoiding one
incorrect decision, can easily pay for the subscription. The fact that the
entire pub is available online addresses the filing and storage issue.

I only asked because the number didn't work for me. Well, I didn't
want to wait any longer so I constructed my own patterned after ones I
found on the net. Given the construction time involved, it was not a
money saver. $125.00 isn't a bad price to pay for a nice set of
tiedowns.

Thanks for all the feedback to my 6/20 post where I asked for
recommendations for portable tiedown stakes.

I decided to buy "The Claw" from Hunting Solutions in Pearl
MS.681-932-5832. The set received a good review in the latest issue of
Aviation Consumer. It seemed to address most of the shortcomings of
other
systems.

The set is packaged in a nice cloth carrying case. It consists of 3
'claws', 9 stakes, one length of rope and a small claw hammer. I'm
impressed with the well thought out design and the packaging. The weight
is
aprox 9lbs according to my bathroom scale. The price was $119 + 10 for
UPS
shipping.

I assume it will work as well as the Consumer review and I'm satisfied
at
this point. It seems worth the price.
