Love this thing
I was skeptical about the progress capture hitch this comes pre-installed with, but it's been awesome so far! If there's 2 of you setting up it might be faster to take it off and just use wraps on a port-a-wrap, but the hitch makes it super easy to do solo. Lots of little things were clearly thought through with this product and it's nice having it all assembled and ready to go.
Not the smoothest but a full kit
It works. Not a big fan of the hitch and shackle setup for progress capture. It becomes a bit of a pain to try and reset back to full length. It is nice that it comes as a complete package, ready to use.
Strong block and tackle
A Stein 5:1 Hauler Kit for a block and tackle is a lot of leverage, which is useful for lifting large things.
