The Reel-Deal has been tested under the following circumstances and/or conditions to determine its durability and effectiveness under the most adverse of working conditions.

1. Impact Resistance Test

a. Hammer Impact Tests --------------

This test was performed on two separate occasions using two different types of hammers (32 oz. sledge, and a ball ping hammer) both with similar results. On both occasions although the exterior housing showed visible signs from the impacts, the true concerned came only when the housing was damaged to the point of restricting the interior movement of the wire spindle.

32 oz. Sledge - Tested with eight direct blows to the face of the devices housing. Even though dented from the impacts, the device was evaluated as not pretty, but still functional!

Ball ping hammer - Tested with six direct blows to the face of the devices housing. Even though dented from the impacts, the device was evaluated as not pretty, but still functional!

b. Automotive Impact Test -----------

This test was performed on three separate occasions using three different types of vehicles (4,500 lbs sedan, half ton Pick-up and a 25,000 lbs Fifth Wheel Tractor ).

4,500 lbs Sedan – This test was designed to determine the durability of the exterior housing by running over and parking so as to rest the weight of the vehicle atop the device. While the vehicle was on top of the device the wire was still able to be extracted, but would not allow the wire to retract until after the sedan had been moved. At this point the device was evaluated and determined to appear to have no visible damage to the housing or to the functionality of the device tested.

Half Ton Pick-up - This test was designed to determine the durability of the exterior housing by running over and parking so as to rest the weight of the vehicle atop the device. While the vehicle was on top of the device the wire was still able to be extracted, but would not allow the wire to retract until after the Pick-up had been moved. At this point the device was evaluated and determined to appear to have no visible damage to the housing or to the functionality of the device tested.

25,000 lbs. Fifth Wheel Tractor - This test was designed to determine the durability of the exterior housing by running over and parking so as to rest the weight of the vehicle atop the device. While the tractor was on top of the device the wire was unable to be extracted. At this point the tractor was moved and the device was evaluated and determined to appear to have obviously visible damage to the housing. Although the housing was never cracked, it was permanently impacted due to the excessive weight causing the spindle to be pinched to the point of restricted movement. “Come on really, what did you expect with this one?”

c. Highway Skid Test -----------------

This test was performed on two separate occasions using two different types of hammers (32 oz. sledge, and a ball ping hammer) both with similar results. On both occasions although the exterior housing showed visible signs from the impacts, the true concerned came only when the housing was damaged to the point of restricting the interior movement of the wire spindle. 32 oz. Sledge - Tested with eight direct blows to the face of the devices housing. Even though dented from the impacts, the device was evaluated as not pretty, but still functional! Ball ping hammer - Tested with six direct blows to the face of the devices housing. Even though dented from the impacts, the device was evaluated as not pretty, but still functional!

2. Thermal Control Test

a. Frozen Block Resistance Test--

During this test the device was submersed into a container of water and then frozen solid within the container. Once the device had been removed from the frozen block of ice, and thawed out the device returned to its normal working condition without any problems or concerns identified.

3. Corrosion Resistance Test

a. Salt Water Resistance Test-----

During this test the device was completely submersed within saltwater tank for a period of 60-days prior to evaluation. Once removed the device and its materials were inspected and evaluated for defects, pits, corrosion and scarring which were not found to be present, on any of following parts: housing, spool, cover plate, spring or set screws.

4. Environmental Impact Test

a. Mud / Sand Activity Test-----

We had conducted this test to determine whether the mud, sand and/or debris thrown up from the rear wheels of the towing vehicle might cause any restrictions or complications with the efficiency of the wire movements of the device. What we had determined though the results of the test is that the wires themselves act as a blockade for many of the materials that may be kicked up by the rear wheels. However as a matter of good practice, it would be acceptable to either wipe down or run the water hose over the device, to wash out any remaining dirt or mud from the wires prior to retracting them into the housing.

5. Tension Test

a. Tension Pull Test Test-------

During our test we were able to determine that to disconnect a new set of wires it required a pull tension of greater than 25 lbs or pressure. The spring setting of the devices has a (5) lbs. tension pull, making it strong enough to keep the wires off of the ground, but to weak to unplug the connectors of the truck and trailer when in use.

6. Time Test

a. Returns---------------------------

None has ever been returned due to faulty equipment, parts and or manufacturing.

7. Document "North American Hunting Club"

a. Field Test Results------------

We were invited to participate in the “North American Hunting Club” Field Test in which new products are donated to 1% of their subscribed membership to evaluate and rate for use within the industry. The Field Test results are evaluated and based upon the following test criteria (performance, design, ease of use, durability, size, quality, and appearance). The results of the 162 units submitted for review are listed below.

8. Product Guarantee

a. Satisfaction Guarantee------

All of "The Reel-Deal" devices have a 3-year satisfaction guarantee on all parts and workmanship. If at anytime the device fails or becomes unable to perform as designed, please return the product to the location purchased, for refund or replacement.

9. Longevity Test

a. Longevity Tests----------------

With a device such as ours there are only so many things you can do to truly test the device. So we suggest you conduct your own tests and “Pull the wires, pull the wires, pull the wires!” Even though we haven’t had any problems yet, we invite you to keep checking back and we’ll try to keep you posted.
