These are the best tiedowns I have ever used

HOOK N PULL HI WING TIEDOWN HD
Very happy. I often land in high wind conditions and need to tie the wings down before the plane flips. Takes less than 14 seconds to tie down both wings and tail to my 182. I have the hooks squeezed to the ground tie-down anchors so they are permanently in place so they are fast and handy to use and prevents theft. I will NEVER be without these Hook-n-Pull tie downs.
Simple as tightening a tent line. A bit pricey, and the short/tail version is not in stock.
As soon as I pulled these out of the box I was skeptical. One of the ropes was frayed and the tightening mechanism did not inspire confidence. But, I thought, “they must work better than they look”. As it turns out, they don’t. The first time the plane was exposed to a significant wind with these tie downs, both wing tie downs loosened off, and one loosened off so much that it detached from the ground anchor. If you need a tie down that will actually do the job when it counts, find a different tie down. I’ll be returning these to Aircraft Spruce because they can’t be trusted to hold when they are actually needed.
