Loc-On treestands are some of the best stands on the market. I haven't seen any of the more recently manufactured models, but the ones from the 80s and 90s were great. I had a Spirit with the "speed-hitch rope", but ended up selling it a year or so ago. In my opinion, the rope was a lot easier and quieter then using the chain.
Then back in the mid 90s a sporting goods store in Jackson, MI had the Loc-On Limit on sale for $49.99. My dad and I went down there and each bought one...now I wish I would have bought a bunch more. The Limit is by far the most secure and fastest stand to hang from my experience. I've kept it and can't see myself ever selling it. I still have the Cabela's Trebark backpack for it as well...
