Guest RJK Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 I was reading about tree stands and saw something mentioned about APIs T-Screw used to hang fixed position tree stands. The articles said that the T-Screw makes hanging the tree stand easier and makes the tree stand more stable. What exactly is the T-Screw, I know what the look like, and what do they do? Is this just another way of attaching the tree stand to the tree along with using straps or chains? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Re: API T-Screw? The t-screw on the lock on stands is pretty nice for hanging them.Basically you just climd up your ladder and screw in the t-screw where you want to hang the stand on the tree.Then you pull the stand up with a rope and slide the stand over the t-screw.This holds it in place until you get the strap around the tree.

[ QUOTE ] The T-screw is a help in hanging the stand, but that is all it may stablize the stand a little bit but the big help is in hanging the stand. I have hunted out of a API baby grand for the last 5 or 6 years and really like it. [/ QUOTE ] that is exactly right , the Tscrew should never be used to help stabilize the stand .. i have 3 API Aluminloc stands that use the Tscrew and they are very handy for hanging stands.. use a bottom rachet strap if you want to stabilize it a little better... i know of one guy that hung the T screw and then put his stand on it and then stood on it to put the strap on ! good thing he didnt fall ! he thought thats what the T screw was for !

billkay Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Re: API T-Screw? On my API on private property i replace the T screw with a lag bolt. that tighten down partially to hold the stand while the straps go on, but then I tighten it the rest of the wat and it replaces the need for a locking cable.
