I sold a set of 4 leverage sticks to a buddy that no longer hunts. I had converted them to the lone wolf button, but now he is selling them back to me. I wanted to convert the lone wolf button to a cam cleat. I've looked but all I see is ones with 300lb or less rating. I don't want to be up a tree and use sub-par equipment. I'm sure someone on here knows where I can source strong cam cleats.

Yeah here's one with 500lb working load and 1,000 break strength. Problem is if I understand correctly this is 1 1/2 inch wide. Meaning it may not mount well on your sticks.

These harkens & I believe medium ronstans (spelling???) are some that have been used successfully

I’ve been thinking about modding my helium’s with cam cleats. I’ve been wandering how well they would stack with the camcleats. Anyone have any idea?

I turned my middle stick the opposite way, then I lowered the top steps so that they would not be catching on brush and cut the top post off . So my middle stick has a 4in shorter step but they stack fine that way.

after using 3 sticks and a 5 step to get 20 feet, I'm going to keep the versa buttons as I have 1/2" amsteel that is quite useful in securing the stick to the tree. I sold the 5 step aider and will move to a 3 step aider or a one step aider. I just don't need the cam cleat as the versa buttons work so well.
I don’t think the Muddy sticks are rated over 300lb anyway. 350 at most. They’re sticks, not stands, so 300lb is more than enough if you yourself weigh less than 250. You’re only standing on them for a minute or less.
The 750lb rated ones are advertised on amazon for only 300lbs. Are these the same and amazon just botched the description?

They are 750lb minimum breaking strength (MBS) and 300lb working load limit. Forget the MBS, worry about "Max Working Load".
Where do you get the 300lb working load limit? On their website I see 200lb.
I've been asking them to sell to me in bulk since June with no luck yet. Will try again.
Its funny, the specs given on the West Marine website list a "Safe Working Load" of 300lbs. I'd go with the manufacturer's listing of 200 as you pointed out.
Lots of other brands out there on Amazon and eBay. Anyone have any luck with those? Does anyone have a good way to test these for our uses? I'll purchase a few and have them sent directly to anyone that wants to tackle this.
So it does - interesting. I was on the industrial site, wonder why the discrepancy. I see most of the knockoffs are also advertising 300#s working load limit.
