Of course there is the issue of OPERATOR error. In my extensive experience downrange, yes, I spent more time than I care to admit applying CATs...
The major problem with most folks is that they rely solely on the windlass to apply the pressure, when in fact the strap portion being cranked down as tight as you can absolutely get is is the key. This places LESS stress on the windlass when you do turn it a few times, and there will be fewer instances of "equipment failure" occurring.
I prefer the SOF-T to the CAT anyhow, and make sure it is on our order list instead.
I will, however, make sure to pass on the word concerning the fake CATs. Thanks for the heads-up!
