I have a 66# Bruce and have been very happy with it. I have
not had any first hand experience with the knockoffs but I
have been told that they are not as good. Same thing applies
with the knockoff CQRs.

Greetings,

I'm in the market for a larger primary anchor, and was leaning towards a
66lb Bruce. I've found that Lewmar and and Simpson Lawrence also make
claw-style anchors at less than 1/2 the cost of a Bruce. Does anyone have
experience/comments on these and how they compare to the "original" Bruce?
I haven't been able to locate specifications (yield strength,
construction,
alloy, etc.) for either.

Thanks,
-Pete
