just unboxed my Tethrd Predator platform.. Why 2 brackets and what difference do they make in use?
 
I don't own one but I thought I read somewhere that they send you a spare. I'm sure you'll have an answer quickly from one of the many members who own them.

one is cast unpainted the other is apparently machined and black anodized. pic wouldn't post said 'file too large'..
 
I also read a notice somewhere from Tethrd that they had re-designed the bracket to give better grip on the tree. Perhaps they provided the new version along with your platform that has the old version? Just guessing

both came in box, neither was installed, leaving me a choice. No instructions because its not hard to run one bolt thru the only hole in upright and the bracket.... but strange that they send both.
 
I got both as well. I’m using the black one. It works great for me.
 
I got both as well but there was a notice saying you can sand the black glossy bracket to eliminate sqeaking on the bark. I sanded the back and bottom and it stopped sqeaking. The aluminum cast in guessing was on the original model. I like options!
 
I use both. Bought a longer bolt and keep one of the brackets on the front side as well as an extra foot placement spot.
 
I dumped both of them and got one for my predator from EWO. It grips much better than the stock brackets IMHO

I put one on my predator aswell. It cams over rock solid now. The original would sometimes depending on tree. EWO one just locks it solid as a rock no matter what! Was a winner
