 Great product, difficult instructions |
| Review Date: March 21, 2010 |

| This product works great, after you figure out how to set it up. Another review mentioned this but I just ignored it. Turns out, I was on my roof for 30 minutes before I full understood what I was doing. The difficulty lies in attaching the straps to the mount. Start by sliding the strap through one of the buckles then slide the strap further through the mounting hook and then loop it back through the buckle, leaving slack is not needed on this first side. Clamp the buckle with pliers then route the strap around the chimney. It may take a second person to hold the mounting up at this point. I did it myself and the mount kept falling off. I bent the strapping a little to mark where the chimney corners were to help, as I was alone in this venture. Once around the chimney, insert the other side into the buckle, loop it, and tighten as earlier. It's good to get it as tight as possible. I found that leaving the hooks as loose as possible and tightening their nuts after clamping the second buckle helped the most to tighten the straps overall; I was alone on this project after all. After all is said and done, you can cut off excess strapping. I hope this helps someone. |

| All the parts were included.I did it by myself but I suggest having 2 people because its a little hard to keep band tight before installing keeper clamps.I used a small pair of vise grips to crimp the band keepers tight.I thought the product was reasonably priced.I would recommend this product.I would suggest using a lubricant on threads of u bolts if disassembly was needed in the future because rust may become a issue on the threads. I received my order in 2-3 days and I was surprised it came that fast.... |
Worked fine for me

| This mounting kit worked fine for me. The instructions could have used a better diagram, though. That would have made figuring out the strap clamps easier. Also, the kit should include washers for the tightening nuts. |
Directions were unclear

The installation of this item was straight forward with the exception of the crimps that are used to secure the length of the bands that go around the chimney. Exact and specific directions of thier use would have been helpful, since I was never able to crimp them sufficiently to prevent the bands from slightly sliding once I tightened the nuts.
The product could have been improved upon, and time would have been saved if the band was already attached to one of the tightening eyelets by the manufacturer. |

| I ordered the Antenna chimney mount and when the order came in, there were two metal strap bands, and however, the mounting hardware was missing. Got busy and never did call shipper to complain. I would do so now but for a low dollar item I really do not want to go through the hassle. In future, recommend you buy low cost items like this at local store to avoid shipping mistakes. |
