Overview

Built for securing a winch to a tree or post, this anchor helps set up a more workable pulling position when tasks call for steady operation from a single point. The pivoting support is designed to align the winch with the load automatically, which can simplify setup and reduce the need for constant repositioning during extended use. It is suited to trees and poles from 12" to 36" in diameter and includes a 2" x 10' strap for attachment. Zinc-plated steel construction and an 8 1/2 lb. weight round out a practical setup for hunters and outdoorsmen who need a dependable anchor point in the field.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Designed for trees and poles from 12" to 36" in diameter, so it may not suit smaller or larger anchor points without another setup.
  • The 2" x 10' strap is included, but the overall system still depends on having a suitable tree or post available at the work site.
  • At 8 1/2 lbs., it adds some carry weight compared with a simpler tie-off solution.
  • Built for extended use from one position, which is useful for sustained work but less suited to quick, temporary anchor changes.
