Is this a direct mount or belt ? Has anyone owned it for more than one year without problems? Thanks!

It's direct drive. I have owned it for less than a year so far, but have used it extensively with no problems. Unless you receive a unit with a rare manufacturing defect or you improperly operate/maintain the machine, I can't see how you will have any issues. The individual components are top quality in the industry. I purchased mine through http://www.pwoutlet.com/PRESSURE_PRO_EAGLE_E3027HA_PRESSURE_WASHER_p/e3027ha.htm by the way for a very fair price. I recommend selecting the Cat pump as well.

It is like a hook. It fastens to the bottom of the belt. My son has had his for over a year. He really likes his, so I bought my husband one.

I have owned this belt for over a year. I used it a lot at first, but not much lately. It works very well, in fact, I plan on using it more often.

I bought this vacuum April 2008 and have never had one problem with it and never changed any belts. I have the orginal. It works great.

Haven't experienced a problem with the locking system. Plastic is very thick, & sturdy. Given the correct size for your waist, the velcro is strong enough to keep the belt locked in place even when lifting heavy. I also own a heavy duty leather lifting belt as well, but this one is more comfortable because it doesn't pinch or seem to cut into my waist when I bend over. I also agree with the previous comment that if you plan to lift heavier than 500 lbs, you may prefer the security of the leather belt.

No problem... Works great. You will have to get a washer from Home Depot and place it between the mount so it won't fall. Cheap fix, you will see exactly where when you get it. My wife loves it.

I have not experienced the belt slipping. So far it is working perfectly and I am enjoying it immensely.

The belt is manual and that's what I was looking for. It is very easy to set up and you can adjust it up and down (hill or level). You sometimes have to "fiddle" with it to get it level. Initially you may have to go back and forth with small adjusting the belt but is not a problem. Hope this helped.

It holds pretty snug. The issue is that there are no holes through the sheath and the belt loop is mounted high. You would have to drill out some holes to mount it.

I also am having the same problem. I called the customer service number & she said to make a loop and get it just right and it comes right off. Not on mine. There doesn't seem to be a slot where the old belt can slide off. Help?? Anyone??

Belt it durable. The leash that comes with it is ok. I would suggest connecting another leash to the D ring. I have a working k9 that I have done this with. I used a heavier grade thin leash.

I don't use the provided mount. I have placed Velcro on the dash and unit - it is much more secure, has a lower profile from potential police and/or theft. Having it mounted this way it does not get into one's visual field and it works as it should.

No, this not a permanent mount. You can use either suction grip or Velcro. I have taken mine off several times. It is a good mounting system.....no complaints at all.

I think it holds very well. There is a very long line of velcro (not sure if its actually velcro but for lack of a better term we will go with that). I only deadlift around 165 as of right now, however, i have workout friends that do go up to 300 easy that have the same belt as me. I dont want to speak for them, but it never looks like it needs to be adjusted. I open mine and tighten it sometimes but thats for personal preference...it does not open up on me at all. A large amount of crossfitters have this at our box, so I think you would be good to go! Hope that helps!

I have not had any problems. Just put the belt in one pulley and force the new belt into the top pulley by turning it

I've had this on for a year without issue. Had one on a previous model too. You have to take your truck for alignment as soon as you install
