Review on Pestairs 360° Swivel Stake Anchor by Laurie Garcia

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Near perfect tie

Bought this to use with two dogs at a campsite. One of the dogs weighs around 70 pounds and the other only 8 pounds. I needed a zip tie that I could clip both dogs to without getting tangled and it worked! dog or other tightens, it will automatically loosen. and it works great! My only concern was that it would be difficult to install and/or uninstall. Although held firmly, it is very easy to install by hammering the studs into the ground. Similarly, to remove, I used the claw side of the hammer to pry it up and about an inch off the ground. Once it's raised a bit, the bolts loosen to the point where you can pry them out of the ground with your hand fairly easily. My only complaint is that the two spot welds that hold the ring to the ball sometimes bind and the ball stops. turns easily. This has only happened a couple of times so far and a hammer hit seems to have fixed it, but in the long run I'm a bit concerned. I haven't used it long enough to report rust etc. The ball and ring appear to be rust-free, but the screws and body do not appear to be rust-free. Let me know if it rusts faster than expected.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No gun
