The claw is exactly what you need in a tie down
- By Al from Novato CA USA on Wednesday, August 6, 2008
- Pros: Everything you need in a tie down
- Cons: 8lbs, on the pricey side, but what is your plane worth.a
- Review: Product was perfect as I tried it out in Oshkosh. Easy to use stows perfectly and should hold your plane in anything less than a gale!

Good product planning on buying another set.
- By Clare Cessna 140a from Penticton BC Canada on Tuesday, January 31, 2017
- Pros: Just works as advertised
- Cons:
- Review: Have used it in high wind situation with a tail dragger on spring steel undercarriage. Good ground grip in sandy clay ground. Worked best with single leg in toward the fuselage. Worked single leg a little loose when put in opposite position. No corrosion so far after a full six months of summer weather.

Great product
- By Charles B Umphlette from Suffolk VA USA on Wednesday, November 24, 2010
- Pros: Secure holding and easy installation and removal
- Cons: No problems or faults to date
- Review: I love the claw, my wife and I are sailplane pilots and travel to away airfields several times a year. The claw allows the gliders to be tied out quickly. The tie downs install easily in turf with sandy, clay, and even very rocky soils and hold well. The gliders are secured at the nose hook and wing tie down points and we have never felt insecure. The claw also removes easily and packs small. We have also used the claw to secure a folding canopy shade shelter and that too worked well. The best portable anchors we have ever used!

Excellent!
- By Forrest from Brooklyn Park MN USA on Thursday, August 6, 2009
- Pros: Easy, strong.
- Cons: A bit expensive, but cost effective if you ask me.
- Review: Easy, solid, quick and well worth the money. Compared to other tie-down systems out there that use a cork-screw stake, the Claw is many times stronger. Help my 172 solid in a very strong thunderstorm while we were camping under the wing.

Best Tie-Down System EVER!
- By Meg from Texas on Thursday, April 21, 2022
- Pros: Simple to install, effective even in high winds, and affordable
- Cons: Seems to be a little pricey until you realize how effective it is. So, there are no cons
- Review:
I have been using this system to hold down corners of my outdoor art show tent, and never once has my tent been one of the ones flying across the parking lot on an unexpected TX spring day with winds gusting to 60mph!
My Dad, a former general aviation pilot and aeronautical engineer, saw them and inspected them at great length. He declared this to be Occam's Razor; elegant design, simple to install, effective, and affordable. I agree!! I only wish I had a plane so I could use the system as intended!! - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 1 Other people found this review helpful.

A good piece of kit
- By George from New Albany OH USA on Thursday, August 29, 2024
- Pros: Everything needed in a bag.
- Cons: Need to cut the length of rope to the three lengths you require, which then, ideally requires the cut ends to be sealed..
- Review: I needed a tie down system for Oshkosh and the Claw was recomended to me. It comes in a handy bag complete with a hammer and fully met my expectations.
