If you look at the website, it should be clear that a boathook can do
the same job but with much more effort (assuming the MooR FasT works).
I never understand why some folks decry innovative folks who develop
clever solutions for problems that make things easier. Yes, traditional
equipment can get the job done. But obviously not easily for everyone.
I have not used this product but it clearly is a well thought out
concept.
Bruce, let us know if you use it and like it.

I don't have one. I said that a neighboring boat had one and swore by
it.
By the way, a boathook won't work for what these things were designed
for. Over here (and according to the neighbor boat, in Europe) you
quite frequently find moorings that consist of the anchor, anchor rode
and a float. The float may be a plastic ball, say 2.5 feet in diameter
but may also be a steel drum the size of a 55 gal. drum. The only
attaching point is a ring on the top of the float. No way to pass a
mooring line through that ring from the deck unless you have arms five
feet long.
