Don't want that kind of thing happening after shelling out you dough now do you? It's buyer beware I know so I would hate to have to make a salesman eat a treemotion saddle for 700.00 American. Most things, you will find, are overpriced and poorly made even in this industry as well as others. I have seen 600 foot spools of rope that were defective from Samsom. Remember when Firestone had its recall? every other thing we buy for our kids has a recall on it. Ford had a good one with the tires and the seatbelt retractors that were actuated by c4. I have yet to see a lockjack last a year.I would never buy that piece of crap and am very wary about things that are flashy and expensive. Give me ugly and we have a deal. By the way, I started climbing on my own with a homemade rope saddle.
