5.0 out of 5 stars A *must* for your beach umbrella, September 11, 2007

We went to the beach with two beach umbrellas and only one sand anchor. The sand anchor did a great job of digging down deep into the sand and keeping the one umbrella firmly attached -- even in the breeze. We couldn't get the other umbrella (the one without a sand anchor) into the sand deep enough and it blew on to the people next to us, so we had to put that umbrella away.

VERY easy to use and does a great job. After I got home from the beach I ordered a second anchor for my other beach umbrella. Personally, I think it's a "must" for your beach umbrella.

A Note about my order: Although I ordered the one pictured (with a metal piece on top), they sent me the all-plastic version (twice), which I kept and works great. I would imagine they'd both work equally as well, but in all fairness this review truly pertains to the all plastic version which Amazon calls the "RIO Beach Sand Anchor for Beach Umbrellas". Even though my sand anchors are all plastic, they seem very sturdy and rigid. No problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars Umbrella stays put!, September 23, 2007

We recently spent a week at Lake Michigan and used this beach sand anchor often. It's lightweight (important when you have to carry it up a dune!) and easy to turn into the sand....even with a little arthritis. The anchor made it a whole lot easier to get the umbrella positioned in the sand and always kept it from tipping or blowing over. One day the wind was so strong our umbrella threatened to collapse BUT it stayed anchored!

Bought two of these anchors, one for us and one for my folks. We had excellent luck with them. Easy to use and did the trick in the afternoon winds of the Maine beach.
