This is made here in the USA (rare these days) by a Veteran owned company. I have been using this for several days now.The material is strong and sturdy, and the swing arm clips are an upgrade from the previous pins. I believe they listened to the customer and made the change. You won't have to worry about them falling outThere is so much this product can do besides using it as a cant hook and the Timberjack. I encourage you to watch the videos as you can see how easy it is to assemble and use. So for me, it is the best one I have ever used.My previous one, you screwed the handles together and I bent it real bad to where the screw was pulling our out of the pipe. It was not a large tree. You will not have to worry about that with this one. It is well designed and easy to put together. My favorite piece it the log hauler. You do not have to bend over any more and get back aches hauling the cut logs to your vehicle Very easy to use, their videos show 4 ways to get the hook to release. This tool you just stoop down and let it catch on the log and lift it up with you legs. Carry it where you want it. I use a maul to split my wood. So using this tool, I was able to haul the log to my stump. Once there I turned it over and grabbed it again and lifted up on the stumps and went to work. Today I did eight logs, no back aches! You can also use to haul away the branches, again no back pain.The cant hook is designed to grab the fallen tree and with the extended arm, it moves it like it a twig. I was moving some large tree parts. You don't have to keep trying to get it to hook on the trunk. The design grabs it on the fist go.The other great thing about this tool is the timber jack. This lifts the tree so you can make a clean cut and not touch the ground. With this you do not have to roll the tree to continue the cut you started. It save your chain and you can keep cutting.For the money, it is worth it. This will be the last cant hook you will buy. I am so glad I took the risk and bought it. (JW)
