Pros & Cons
Pros

Because its an heirloom i. Great price. Would buy again if needed. Grandson really likes it. Worth buying again. I purchased for my husband for fathers day.
My cars are ok. Works awesome. Works much better than expected. These blocks are amazing.
The blocks are perfect for my coleman canoe. Fit on my 2011 subaru outback. Worked out great for my suv.
Blocks have slots on one side for a boat gunnel and slots on the other side for existing roof racks. Used to put a 60lb canoe on top of our forester. Bought this for my honda crv without a roof rack, and works very well.
Cons
Ropes are thin and not very long. Ratcheting straps would work way better. The foam blocks are cheapy and have squished after using them once. Had to place cushions under the rails to prevent further damage.

The other issue is that the ropes are fairly slick so i have to tie 2 taut line hitched instead the usual one not a big deal just a note
