    Kayak Hoist – Overhead Pulley System with 125 lb Capacity for Kayak, Canoe, Bike, or Ladder Storage by Rad Sportz

    • Good quality.
    • We eneded up deciding it was not worth using after we installed it as the quality was scary
    • Poor quality.
    • Good quality hoist
    • However the pulley systems and mounts are good quality
    • Only 4 stars as the company shouldn't include any lag screws and should require the purchaser to buy the appropriate rated screws for mounting as the included screws for my application were too short and some were very poor quality as they broke.
    • Yuck!!It is made from cheap poor quality materials; I had two screws that couldn’t take the torque and snapped when I needed them the most
    • I would have liked the line to be a better quality however for the price you
    • when I installed it, I upgraded the rope to a better quality nylon rope that is rated at 100lbs
    • The instructions are absolutely horrible and incredibly unhelpful and the rope is incredible poor quality
    • Very poor quality
    • As others have said, the quality of the rope is the only negative I can find, but hey, its more than sufficient to lift my boat, and a good quality rope would cost more than the whole unit might
    • Broke both cleat mounting screws instantly, very low quality.
    • The hardware, pulleys, and hooks are all good quality.
    • Great Quality at a great price
    • Time will tell but since the rope is a critical component that is holding the watercraft up 5-6 feet in the air, I'd of thought they might use a bit better quality cord
    • They are of good quality for our use
    • Very pleased with this product the brackets and hardware are very good quality.
    • Awesome product, good quality and great for storage solution.
    • The rope and pulley are of good quality
    • I liked about the installation: The Kayak Hoist only cost $22.54 + tax, very economical; the rope, pulleys, and hardware appeared to be of good quality, except as noted further down; the instructions were detailed, included drawings, and offered a few different options for installation; the looped straps are a very good solution for attaching to an irregularly shaped load; and the hoist was delivered via UPS a couple of days before the estimated due date
    • Rope doesn't appear to be very good quality as it started fraying almost immediately.
    • As others have noted, the supplied rope is very poor quality
    • As others have said it is not good quality and I have seen signs of fraying
    • Works but had to replace lad bolts with a better quality because they were breaking
    • but still it's indicative of poor quality control overall
    • Not a horrible design but the rope is of a very poor quality
    • We will replace with better quality lags instead of the cheap ones in the package.
    • Those screw provided were very poor quality, heads broke off.
    • Pully system is okay, mediocre quality but adequate.
    • Good quality easy to operate.
    • I used some better quality bolts and screws from the hardware store and haven't had any issues with the rest of the system.
    • Good quality (not flimsy), easy to install.
    • After a whole weekend I finally got it up, but live with the fear that it can collapse anytime because the plastic rope started to fray already after lifting the kayak a dozen times (I may have to buy a better quality rope as well).
    • Good quality (not flimsy), easy to install.
    • Decent quality product - It doesn't feel extremely sturdy, but I think it's strong enough to handle the weight limit that it claims
    • I also agree with other reviews about the quality of the rope - it's poor quality
    • This entire system is so well engineered, designed and manufactured and is of the finest quality
    • As others have said, the quality of the rope is the only negative I can find, but hey, its more than sufficient to lift my boat, and a good quality rope would cost more than the whole unit might
    • Very easy to install, good quality brackets and pulleys, but the lag bolts that hold the bracket to the ceiling truss and the screws that hold the cleat to the wall sheared off during installation
    • Of good quality and get's the job done
    • The instructions are absolutely horrible and incredibly unhelpful and the rope is incredible poor quality
    • Works great, great quality. had questions as if it will handle my extra wide sit on top kayak and the straps made it with still room for adjustment
    • Very good quality for the price.
    • Seemed like quality enough construction/fabrication
    • The rope works fine but I would have preferred a better quality rope
    • Poor quality and poor directions.
    • I rarely bother writing reviews, but I'm making an exception for this product due to its reasonable price and excellent quality
    • thanks for a great quality product.
    • Unfortunately very poor quality components... sheared two of the lag bolts wile trying to install
    • I like the design of this lift and it works well but the rope is poor quality
    • Good sturdy system and good quality metal
    • Also upgraded to lag bolts to a better quality nickel 1/4" and added washers
    • This is a fantastic piece of equipment that has exceptional quality for the price
    • great quality
    • Better quality rope is a must have.
    • First the good parts - pulleys and lift parts good quality (but take up too much head room
    • I like the quality of this, but I really can't comment because I can't finish the install.
    • Good quality for the money
    • I added extra straps to my setup as I don't feel I can trust the quality of this product holding a 40lb kayak
    • My only complaint is the mounting bolts and screws that come with the kit are pretty bad quality
    • Other than that, it was fine: decent quality and instructions and a fair price
    • The hardware is sturdy and great quality
    • The rope could be a little better quality, however, in that it will most likely fray easily with just a little use; it's material is too soft to hold up in the long run.
    • Cord provided is very poor quality.
    • Fantastic value & good quality.
    • Quality of this product is good for the money
    • MOST of the parts that come with this hoist are of good quality
    • , they are the poorest quality screws ever
    • The quality of the system is questionable so I’ll probably replace it in the near future.
    • Very handy, easy to install, impressive quality for the price.
    • Decent quality and has worked well
    • The slings, pulleys and mounting brackets are all of top quality.
    • but I'm very skeptical based on the poor quality of the bolts
    • works as it was advertised
    • Only 4 stars as the company shouldn't include any lag screws and should require the purchaser to buy the appropriate rated screws for mounting as the included screws for my application were too short and some were very poor quality as they broke.
    • This thing is as great as it is simple.
    • A little tricky to orient and run the rope but works as it should.
    • n’t break the lock
    • Works well holds ascend fs128t with gear no problem!
