lone wolf sit and climb

[strum]

i picked up one of these used a few days ago ..its an few years old but looks as if it was never used ..or used very little.what are you guys thoughts on these?
I have always used summits and I find I like it a great deal but not more than the viper..

I have 2 lone wolfs and like them a lot. 1 is the sit and climb and the other is a hang on. the hang on I leave on some private land I hunt. and the sit and climb I bought around '03 and use on state land. lone wolf moved there production to think China for I think 2 or 3 years but they stopped and brought everything back to the states. they are quite and dependable. easy to use. never had any issues with them. they are pricey but I would buy them again.

I have and like to use the LW hand climber but don't like the sit n climb. To me it pushes you in to the stand as you climb and the top doesn't grab a tree like the hand climber does. I was kinda disappointed with it and sold mine.

I have both the sit and climb and hang on LW. Top of the line stands.

I called LW ..great company to deal with ..they said I needed to change the traction bars as mine were a few years old.
but to me im thinking mine look like new other than some discoloration.
I cant see spending 80 bucks + shipping if I don't have to..what yall think?

i'm on my second one and love mine easy to carry quiet all they say but i had a problem with the straps that go from the top to bottom pieces on my second stand.the plastic clip broke i emailed several times and have to say their customer service absolutely sucked for me .they would replace them if i wanted to pay. they straps and clips where less than $20 but i had better ones made at a local tarp shop for $25 bucks.i was very surprised at them not offering to replace such cheap straps on a stand i payed close to $500 for.
off topic but i also bought a used api and had a problem, i emailed and told them i was the second owner and would like to buy a replacement part.they asked for my address and replaced what i needed ant no cost. nice customer service if you ask me .
