With shipping and handling this one will be as expensive as MACH II portable. I like the idea of the drop-in glowstick, and it looks like a solid 24 chain basket. I am a little concerned about the lifespan of the Acrylic part of the pole.

So, any comments are appreciated.



Anyone???

Get a DGA ... if you need lighting, DGA has a solar light that fit's on top of their baskets. DGA galvenized baskets have a 20 year warranty. The DGA New Mach II is an excellent basket ... the Mach V is the best basket made.
A DGA basket will last FOREVER, and is well worth the money IMO.

Its for sure not a Chainstar. If you look at the chain hangers you will be able to tell. The top looks nothing like a Chainstar but the chain setup looks similar. If your going to spend some money on a basket either buy a DGA Mach V or a Discraft Chainstar. They catch the best and will last a lifetime. I have 3 Chainstars and they are great.

It looks like that basket has no nubs. Why anybody would want a nubless basket is beyond me, but hey, it takes all kinds.

and he wants to charge me $25 just to put it in the box - how nice of him...plus shipping ontop of that...

NO THANKS!

Thanks for all the replies. He wasn't gonna charge me the $25 for the packing, and shipping charges are $50,-

I bought a MachV about 5 years ago, and it's a great basket. I am probably gonna get a MachII portable next....but then again, it wouldn't hurt to get another MachV. Anyone know how much extra they charge for the blue hammertone powdercoat?

With this one I was just curious, 'cause I have not seen one like it before. The chain links look, well, they do look like simple 'S'-hooks, and that's it. I also have not seen a pole with clear acrylic inside to drop the glowstick in.

Well, I'll keep saving my dimes and quarters, and get myself a 4th basket for the yard (I also got 2 In-Step baskets - had to replace all the chains after 2 years, and chains are not that cheap at the local Home Dep)
