Great set for the money

Excellent anchor trolley made from durable materials. It was easy to install most of the parts using a rivet gun and the rivets provided. The only problem for me was that the mandrel used to keep the cord from slipping didn't have enough room to use a rivet gun to put rivets on it. Due to where I mount it, I don't have access to the rear to use the included nuts and bolts and have to cut a hole in my kayak to access that area. It would be great if they could remodel this one piece to make room…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Good but not great. Kayaking

The system does its job and the price is very good, but it's not very heavy. The plastic tabs break if overtightened, but since they're a bit springy, they don't even feel that tight. The rivet rod is slightly larger than a standard 3/16 rivet gun (maybe metric?) and will not fit the hole in the gun. I had to take a dremel and carefully sand the shank to get them working. The fit between the pulleys and the carabiner is loose because although they work, they are only made together, not for each

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Good price for quality reels, carabiner

In the end I only used rope, compasses, blocks and snap hooks. I have a 10 foot Hobie pedal kayak and it has a small attachment point on each end that holds a handle. I just attached carabiners to these points and then pulleys and rope. I can remove and stow the system by removing the carabiners. I haven't been able to find a good place to install the spike, but I haven't needed one for fly fishing in still water. My more important question is how to use two anchors. I think I only need a…

Pros
  • Absolutely brilliant!
Cons
  • No automatic

You're looking at this one because it's the cheapest with good reviews - and I agree. The parts appear to be of good quality - except for the rivets - but I've only used them 4 times since buying them. It's almost impossible to put this together from Revain parts and beat the price. Works as it should. The blocks are strong and there is enough rope for my 16ft kayak. Cons: Terrible rivets. Don't use them. I couldn't get in far enough to use the wheel studs, so I had to use rivets (or nuts, but…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Minor issues

Great kit! But H2o. Stop saving on pop rivets!

This reel set is awesome! Works great but the reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because I'm pretty sure the h2o company is saving money on the rivets in it. If they had sent what is in the picture it would have been fine but instead they sent black nylon/very light aluminum. So when you place them, the rivet gun will eat and chew because of the cheap rivet on the shank (see attached picture). I use an arrow rivet gun with a rotating head (good rivet gun, never had a problem). Luckily I bought a…

Pros
  • Robust construction
Cons
  • A few little things

Anchor Car Complete Set

Although not all parts are the same it was a lot cheaper than the popular brand, easy to install and works well. I couldn't buy individual parts cheaper than this kit. It comes with everything you need except a drill, knife and rivet gun (or screwdriver and pliers), including stainless steel screws/bolts and black rivets with washers. The rivets will not easily fit into a 3/16" or #11 drilled hole, which is probably a good thing as it provides a snug fit. Except for a slightly larger diameter…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Long Lead Time

Corrected incorrect rivets

The rivets did not have enough gripping area to accommodate a 5mm thick body and 5mm boss. The size of the rivet is not advertised. The grommets worked well with the included nylon lock nut and bolt. However, they can only be used in places that you can reach inside the case. We purchased and used rustproof nuts and bolts separately to complete the installation. I researched rivets and why it happens and then contacted H2O Kayaks. If you have a blind install and plan to use rivets, the rivets…

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Missing
