I have a Summit Copperhead hangonand no matter what I do to it, I can't get it to be quiet when it is cold out.It creaks and pops. I have tried lubricating the bolts and washers and it still won't be quiet in the cold. Warm weather it is a great stand. The Lone Wolf is extremely lightweight(12.5 lbs), is easy to hang, quiet and noise free, and is so strong it is rated for 350 #'s where most hangons are only rated for 300#. I only weigh 210 but that is still saying something for their strength. Summit makes some great stands and from what I can see in pics now, they have redesigned this Copperhead that I own. I bought mine the 1st year it came out which was 3-4 years ago.
