The tow bar is excellent (second one we’ve owned). It’s lightweight and collapsible so makes a great “onboard” accessory.
I bought this for a Beech Bonanza A36TC, which is definitely a heavier aircraft. I was very pleasantly surprised by the alignment of the handle -- the canted angle of the bar puts the handles right where they belong, aligned with the front of the airplane for torsion-free towing. It is built of higher-quality (thickness) steel than simpler tow bars Ive seen, and the locking mechanism for extending the bar (and shortening for storage) is fool-proof with a unique key that isnt obvious in the pictures. This tow bar exceeded my expectations, and I can see why its more expensive than others. For the quality Id say its worth it.
