RadioShack Chimney Ratchet Mount for Antenna Mast

With minimal effort installs in about 20 minutes on a chimney. Had to rebound a few parts to fit but overall holds the antenna and mast very well.

Thay are so well built that I'm going to keep them for future use.

If you follow the instructions, they have you attach the strap to the bracket, run it around the bricks, put it through the adjustable rachet wheel on the bracket and tighten. What happens is that it tightens on the end that goes through the rachet part and does not tighten the strap all the way around the chimney...the part coming out of the bracket is extremely loose. When I tightened it more to take up all the slack, the strap broke. After that, I ran both ends through the racheting wheel and then it worked, tightening both ends at the same time. I would not buy this one again.

exactly what I was looking for - very easy to use

This RadioShack Chimney mount is not the same as those that were sold in their stores 7-9 years ago. The mount that I received uses a screwdriver to tighten the stainless steel straps. The older style design incorporates a square hex to tighten the straps The brackets that are used to tighten the straps appear to be of lighter gauge and deform while tightening with the screwdriver before they are adequately tight enough to prevent movement of the antenna mounting pole.

a true piece of junk. ratchet won't hold strap secure even with cotter pin in to secure it. I had to drill through banding and use a nut and bold to keep tension at the correct level

Pure junk, if you even attempt to tighten it at all, the barrel on the ratchet just twists into a knot.
