Without question, best engineered adjustable tail wheel tow bar hands down. I am an engineer & Pilot. I can make this thing do whatever I want to and fit any situation Im in. Ive had people offer to buy it from me at the airport..., I tell them to buy their own. If I had a nose wheel airplane Id have the 24V NOSE PICKER sitting right here as well, things are awesome.

Absolutely the best thing I have purchased for my Husky A1B sinced I have owned it. Saved my back, and prevent damage by pushing on the tail. Works perfect! Thank you!

Some of the reviews are long I will keep it short. I have had something like this before. BUY THE PICKERS, you wont be sorry. The quality and attention to detail is outstanding.

I got the much needed PICKER-2 as a gift this past Birthday. My hangar has two conventional gear aircraft, (1) Citabria and (1) RV-7. As worn down as one of the tires are, I was able to fine-tuned and perfectly dialed-in both sizes of the tail wheels without issue. At just a hair over $200, this is a great value. Upon setting up the picker, I then realized just how nice this system really works. Although similar, this Picker is far different from the others once you see it. This product is very well designed. As we all know, the RV-7 has a trailing caster type 6” tail wheel, (or there about), and the Citabria has a more traditional 8” tail wheel set-up, yet they were no challenge for the PICKER-2. The PICKER was easily more than able to handle both types. I also found the av-picker site to see other things they have designed for LSA, all good stuff. Without hesitation I would recommend this product to anyone who has a typical tail dragger as they too will find this product a big help moving aircraft around. Scott,

Great product. Should have come with a packing list of components/parts and slightly better assembly instructions. But it is solid, works fine and the company responds to calls and text messages promptly. Nice folks.

No instructions for assembly in the box, or user guide. They write on a packet ‘go to website’ in a pen. Surprised as that’s not very professional. Not used yet, but they need to really work on their professionalism. Aircraftspruce were bang on as usual - super fast shipping and great customer service.

This tow bar came with no instructions and has not held up very well. Several of the welds are coming apart.
