RE: Why is my Summit stand squeaking?
powder coat? Would that cause this metallic ticking? And this ticking is an actual ticking, not a squeak. I think I get what you guys aregetting atwith the powerder coat because it squeaks against the tree right? Well, it doesn't matter what kind of tree I'm in. Whether it's a harder type wood or a soft type where the teeth of the stand pretty much just sink into the soft bark, the stand makes the same noise regardless.
I'll look into that though. Oh, could you elaborate further on filing the powerder coat off? Is there an edge of some sort that I have to take off the teeth too? And the other thing too is this is a year old stand, would the powdercoat still be there to cause this problem?
