Review on πŸ›Ά Sentry Ratchet Kayak and Canoe Tie Down Set: 1/4" Grow Light Heavy Duty Adjustable Rope Hanger (2-Pack) by Brent Peterson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

DANGEROUS! DO NOT USE FOR ANCHORING A VEHICLE, EVEN FOR LIGHT SERVICES!

Absolute bullshit, could do some serious damage. I used them to attach the nose of the kayak to the front of the car. This was just a secondary mount (the main straps are the typical ones that connect the kayak to my roof rack, luckily I did NOT use those straps for the main straps). Since they were just bow straps, I had very little tension on them. MUCH less than the Β£150 they are rated for. He removed the slack and made a few more clicks to tighten the line a bit. When I stopped at a traffic light about 5 minutes after I started driving (low speed, surface roads. 25-30 mph) the hook self-destructed sending a buckle up and onto my hood. Driving on the freeway could easily cause SERIOUS damage to my car or someone else's. If that were the case, it would be a lawsuit, not a Revain review.

Pros

Cons
