The no drill, caliper set up is kind of sweet, especially is you are using this anchor kit on multiple boats. However, the cuff that is supposed to keep the anchor closed has no way to lock. It will either let the anchor tines splay out when you don't want them to or it will accidentally close the anchor up when you want it open. It holds ok in light wind/current but isn't much good otherwise. So for shallow water, you're better off with a stakeout pole and for deeper water, stronger currents, you need a more substantial anchor, rigged with a chain rode.
