Works as described. Not intended for heavy duty use. Make sure all nuts and bolts are secure prior to use.

Very east set up. Nice clips for easy tie up. Makes it very easy to hang a deer or other things I'm sure

Works good but can't lift very heavy loads

The one I purchased has 8 pulleys, so the effort is either 7:1 or 8:1 depending on how you tie off the end of the rope. The end has a small metal square attached. If you rest it against the bottom pully - it is 7:1 because the bottom pully does not rotate. If you connect the end metal piece up to the top attachment point, then it is 8:1 because the bottom pulley will then rotate. Note: this is the same logic for the 6-pully version. I used mine to lift my PK4400 paddle boat pontoons up so I could put a roller cart under each pontoon to roll the thing into my garage. The PK4400 is 340 lbs. I used an 8 ft step ladder set between the pontoons and each of the yellow straps around each pontoon and to the bottom pully hook. The boat front lifted easily. I looped the pull rope from the attach point down toward the ground and up to my right hand while I stepped onto the loop causing the pulleys to raise the boat a few inches with each repeated loop step while holding the pull rope as a brake with my left hand I raised it about 15 inches. Worked great. Repeated for each boat end. This is the first year I could do this alone without the help of my 5 busy sons. I am 70 and it was the most fun I have had in a long time. The pull rope was plenty long at 65 ft to raise almost anything up several feet as long as you weigh enough to pull the 8:1 weight. Lifting 340 lbs at one end of the boat setting flat on the ground starts at 1/2 the total weight or 170 lbs. It decreases as the angle to the ground increases until 0 lbs at vertical with the end still on the ground. So, I was easily able to raise 170 lbs 15 inches with no apparent damage to the pully system, my ladder, or to my foot. My back didn't feel a thing! At 8:1 it was a pull of 21.25 lbs each time.

Great item.
