dominic vonella: Heavier than I was expecting, very stable in the tree but the weight will become an issue in the long run. With some mods these will be perfect.

tracker1: These sticks bought 5/23 are a much quality than years past. This is my forth set I have bought in the last ten plus years and the fit of parts are much better, especially the step assembly to the stick. In years past that fit was not very good and no matter how you tightened them they would rock a bit from side to side. On this set the fit was so tight I had to lightly sand the paint at the connection to fit, to me that’s a good thing.
Another tip is to tap in an Allen wrench into the step bolt holes to adjust, the holes was a tight fit.
I have had a lot of sticks and these are by far the quietest and easiest sticks to use, I just wish they were sold in a five or six pack.

zachzach: The media could not be loaded.  October 2022:

I’m still undecided if these are the recalled version or not? The recall notice was for roughly 1500 sticks sold in 2012 which contained a single bar on the stand-off with a burnt orange / black rope. The recalled versions were model numbers “ 70401 and 70404”. The set I received were brand new in the sealed box. They are black in color ( not brown like recalled versions). They have the single post on the stand off and a burnt orange / black rope but the model number on both the sticks and box is “ MCS2000-4”. They are require some assembly but are very sturdy. I ordered a second pair directly from Muddy’s website the same day. I will compare the two sets and update this review when I receive the second set from Muddy directly.

Ryan: Pro: ROCK solid on a larger diameter pine, test climb
Clamping mechanism allows very high overhead placement at my extended arms reach (very useful if using step ladder mod.)
Double rung system (two handles on each side) very nice for the aforementioned, extended placements
I was able to get about 12' off the ground with two sticks using the step ladder mod, alone
In 20 minutes I was able to get 18' up with two sticks (I back cleaned my highest (2nd) stick and replaced it again)
I am sure I could do it faster with practice if I selected a tree with less branches

I read some negative reviews in regard to noise; After carefully reading the included instructions I discovered an error in my assembly which may have lead to some others describing them as "loud." When I used mine they were silent. The teflon washer must separate the bark biting mechanism from the tube stock body. This insulates product from squeaking and allows the bark biting mechanism to articulate to various tree growth angles.

Con: 2.5 lbs each, they seem over built for the job; they could be lighter (for someone who is 175 lbs)
The strap/rope is too...

RP: Good sticks when used with an aider attached to the bottom. The bolts all needed to be tightened though.
