5.0 out of 5 stars Great Garden GoTo for Securing/Lifting Trees
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2024
Beautiful & strong! Did trick for lifting my massive pygmy palm, from about a 45 degree angle. Gardeners helped lift/tie adjustable knot . Easily readjusted with neighbors help after they left. Bought 4 more- Will be a great goto in the garden! (first 2 shots are after and 3rd shows before the gardeners got there to help me tighten the cord and move the palm up)

Bought some for neighbor too.
