Guardian anchors benefit from years of Fortress research and development, offering excellent quality, performance, and economy. These anchors are manufactured from the same corrosion-resistant, high-tensile aluminum magnesium alloy as Fortress, which makes them stronger and lighter than competitive steel anchors.
With Guardian anchors, several Fortress machining steps and extra features, such as anodizing and adjustable fluke angles, are eliminated. The Guardian Anchor is limited to one, single, 32-degree angle, which will work for most common sea bottoms. The result is a high-performance anchor that is engineered for fast setting and strong holding power, and a very affordable alternative to those heavy, rust-prone steel anchors.
As strong as steel, but only half the weight, Guardian anchors are second only to Fortress FX model in holding power tests. They make an excellent spare or storm anchor for your boat or yacht.

Small, easy to handle, and does an amazing job of both inflating and delating large fenders and low-pressure inflatable items. Only inflates to 1 psi (enough for the fenders) The 20V battery last a long time. I use a 2 stage pump for inflating the items which require 6 to 15 psi of pressure but, I use this pump to deflate the high pressure toys because it is convenient.
Not sure why they designed it the way they did, but the straps should be attached to the fender. They are very difficult to attach to the piling while holding and bending the fender to fit the piling. Once installed it’s also difficult to pull the straps tight enough so it doesn’t slide down the piling. Once installed it works fine and protected our rail from scraping so if you can install it, you’ll enjoy it.
