Default Heads Up: OTA Carry Straps on Astromart

Heads Up:

There's a guy on Astromart selling OTA Carry Straps for $15 that are
identical to the one that I picked up at K Mart a few weeks ago for
$5:

Tired of breaking your back trying to get a good firm grip or hold of
your BIG OTA?

Is the tube just a little too big (or are your arms a little too
short) to easily carry it more than a few feet?

This is your chance to end all of your carrying troubles.

These strong Nylon straps or belts attach with velcro to make a strong
secure hold on your tube.

Nothing to perminately attach to your tube, the velcro is solely on
the straps, and the strap folds through the buckle as shown to make a
strong, firm yet gentle grip on your tube.

They measure about 62 inches from end to end, including the velcro
folded over to fully grip. If my math serves me correctly, they should
fit tubes up to 19" in diameter.

Shown in the picture is my 13" ota with the straps on.

Needless to say, telescope NOT included

As this is a private sale, no warrantees expressed or implied, no
refunds or returns.

$15 shipped CONUS

You got these at KMart? Can you tell me what they were branded under and
what section of the store you got them? I could use a set of these for my
13.1" PDHQ! Thanks.

Hi Matt,

I saw them in the luggage dept. while looking around. They're in the
trunk of my car now. I'll try to remember to bring them up tomorrow
and post the details.

Matt,

They're the "Highland" brand Power Hook, Handle Strap. #22206

They're in a blue blister pack in the luggage dept.
