I've read so many mixed reviews about the spiderjack. It looks like an impressive bit of kit, however, it seems to be a little marmite as in people either love it or hate it. It's quite a lot of money to lay out if I choose to buy one and then decide that it's not for me. Is there anywhere that has any demo models so that I can try before I buy? Preferaby somewhere in the Bristol or South-West area.

If you're unsure then my advice would be to buy a Lockjack because it is mid line attachable and you'll get used to using it faster than a SJ.

 

 

Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

 

Got to disagree with that, I tried a LJ and hated it, the SJ is far more like a hitch than the LJ, IMO.

I was really looking to buy a sj, got put off buy a shop who said what are you used to climbing on (hitchclimber) so didn't get one in the end, would like opinions on how good/easy to use they are???

Use to love mine until it fell onto a rockery from 80ft. I use a hitch now but wouldn't say no to another sj! Have to agree with the others the lj is a lot harder to get use to in my opinion! But everyone's different :)

You can try mine if you want. My company is based near Taunton so not far from Bristol. I love mine but I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new ZigZag as the first version was a dream to use!
