The Claw

I've purchased 3 of these from ITW and used them on my 36 Power Sleds, P-60 Parafoil and my Killip Foils (45 & 90).
All at the top of their wind ranges without fail in turf and hard packed earth! See my video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_THxk6aL0c&t=3s
I would recommend them to any serious kite flyer that currently uses the old 2-3 foot plus stake system. The Claw is easier to set and way easier to extract at the end of the day without rocking & bending any rods.
I'm getting a couple more next time I'm in Boulder for sure!

I bought these to use with my large P-60 parafoil, Killip Foils and my Premier Power Sled 36 kites. They work great with all the above and i haven't noticed any slippage or signs of them being pulled out even in the higher wind range gusts we get in Western Nebraska! I figured if they can hold down a plane in Boulder, they'd hold down my kites too.

The best part about these excellent anchors is you don't have to drive a huge spike 2 feet into the ground and at the end of the day, fight the spike to get it loose!
Also, they don't take up much room in a kite bag or a small tool bag (where I keep mine with the hammer). Some of the best holding power for the money IMO.

This is a great, safe way to hold down a big kite, even in a strong wind. Very easy to use, taking less than a minute to fix or remove. Using a big carabiner with it makes life easier.

Haven't had the chance yet to use these anchors with the big stuff, yet... but have tested them with a 10' bol and a Premier 36 sled with and without laundry (spinsocks), 500# line. I'm a very pleased with these anchors, very simple to use, and they do exactly as stated, I didn't have any foot of the tripod even begin to come loose, they held as stated, even in the soft ground I had. Winds were sustained at 12 mph, and sustained gusts to over 20 mph. The Claw stayed true. Very happy with my purchase.
