Will require some work to make it work.
I'm not thrilled with this product. I am the kind of guy that will make something work but this one could have been a better starting point. First the holes do not line up properly, I had to kind of force the plastic to bow up a little in the middle in order to get the screws/bolts to line up. The recessed holes for the screws are too tight for the hex heads and a socket, even the thinnest socket I had was a very tight fit, I swapped them out to allen head screws. After you get it installed I can almost guaranty on your first pull you will pull the handle off the rope. The rope itself is just too thin for a knot to hold either the handle or the recoil end. After about 5 failed attempts I ultimately tied a nut or a washer would work into the the end of the rope.
It works now but I have my doubts for how long, the plastic itself seems flimsy.
