Summit Treestands Footrest Kit, Choose Size Green

Good friend told me this was a must when I decided to get a summit climbing stand. Used my climber a few times before the foot rest came in. Was surprised how much more comfortable it was having a few extra inches to stick your feet out. Definitely a must have.

Adds comfort when sitting in a stand, possibly for several hours. Easy install.

I would give it a 5 star but paint quality is not the best (just like the stands) and price is hefty for what it is. All it is is a piece of aluminium and some bolts, but I suppose you pay for comfort! I am happy with it on my Viper SD. More detailed: Really easy to install, all you need is a drill/impact with a phillips bit, 7/16 wrench/socket and a cresent wrench works to hold backup. Took about 10-15 minutes to install. I like how it folds over and it will be a great accessory for the stand without much added weight, being able to sit in comfort for long periods of time will be worth it! (Could be folded over all the way flush to the platform if I would move the plastic climbers up more) Paint quality is lacking, some spots show bare aluminium right out of the box, nothing that can't be touched up in the off season with some self etching primer/paint, tho still a bit of a let down... Summit claims to have durable powder coating but reality is different unfortunately. The foot rest seems solid right now, tho the brackets that screw into the frame of the stand are attached with A self taping screw, -we will see how long it stays tight, might have to end up giving it a couple of small welds if the screws ever back off, because 2 small self tappers is all that holds the foot rest to the platform. Happy with the purchase anyhow.

This product is really nice for long sits during the rut. My feet get restless if I can’t stretch them out a bit. This extender is perfect. For installation, you have to use the provided self tapping screws to install brackets into the stand. There are no predrilled holes on the stand. I ended up using a tape measure to make sure my brackets and rubber stoppers lined up. You may also want a socket wrench for the bolts. One of mine had a flaw with the threads so I had to use 1-2 Ugga Duggas with my impact driver.
