Bought one in 2004 and a couple of lines went out within about 1 year. The wheel fell off and had to modify myself to make it work. But for the money, not bad. I have to buy a new now because too many channels out and it is off the wheel and can't fix any further.

AV Link 24-Channel Snake with Rolling Reel - Great concept for a snake. However, after just 2 uses we had 3 lines short out and a caster fell off. Local hardware stores did not carry this size caster. We were performing in an area of North Carolina where new equipment was not accessable to make an adjustments to the 3 broken lines. We got really stuck. I would not recommend this snake to anyone. Very Disapointed!!!
