Have always wanted one of these until i got it. Its a nightmare in the woods at dark the assembly is horrible and the noise it makes is even worse. I have so many climbers and have used them for years but heard the rave about the equalizer yeah the leveling mechanism is good but that is it. Don't try to get out there and put this thing together before dawn or period its a nightmare and i stress a nightmare. I am completely upset w/ this one. I suggest before purchasing one try one from a friend so you can save your money.
