Sad thread cited there as support for your statement.
Mostly 2015 and half the replies are rebuttal to the original post... Along with a baseline of use in inappropriate conditions regarding temperatures...
Typical seppo or internet overhype?

Personally I can’t fault my SP, but it’d be nice if it was smaller/lighter!

To OP on this thread; if you’re only dabbling in the solo game then check out the various clove hitch backup systems. Much cheaper and okay up to a point... especially for pure aid.
