These are great for straight trees where you need to have an easy climb into your stand. The ability to combine the steps to 20 feet allows you to get the stand higher up and still be able to step down into your stand.
Keep in mind the order to help align the steps in the best pattern, this does make it easier to climb. Steps are easy to climb in light or heavy gear.
I agree with both other reviewers. They are good for the money. Straps are a little small but workable, pack ratchets in case. I took my time and mounted them really tight, climbed them up and down while mounting my stand and they were super stable for me. I like em and having the ability to go up 20' is great. Fairly light, and compact. Pay attention when you piece them together, there is five sections and the steps are staggered, easy to give yourself a long step up or down. 4 stars for short straps, otherwise good deal for the money.
These climbing sticks aren't bad for the money. The option of going up 20' is nice. There are two things I would do to change them though. I would tighten up the joints, they have a little too much play in them, and lengthen the straps. I'm 6' 0" and my arm reach is longer than the straps. Rule of thumb for this product is if you can't comfortably fit your arms around the tree, you can't use these straps. I took the straps out and doubled them up on the lower sections and then supplemented the top with ratchet straps. Safer and you can use them on larger diameter trees. Have fun and be SAFE!
I bought this things last year and it was great! They are a little hard to put up because the straps are not that good but they do you well when you get them up. I would definetley recommend this to any one!
