i think the pull-pal

is the prevalent design. Pat Gremillion, who makes them, has used the same design for 15 years or so, so they are obviously no bad thing.

Portable Rescue Tree is about the best folding design I have seen.
Tigerz11 has some that are "similar" from China - but they are a little heavy for my liking.
I'll make up my own PRT one day - ARB charges too much.

The ground Grabber is one of the best i've seen in action at OBC and Cliffhanger etc..
For the time, money and effort that people put into designing there own, only to find it doesn't work is silly to me... Ring Rodger Smith and order a ground grabber

The angles and lengths are so critical to having one bite that it is normal for home made ones to be useless! I've seen a lot that are a waste of time.

I can see it now, another light weight pop ritited alloy contraption? Maybe add a label that says it doesn't need to be strong because I won't use it much?
