Works great and highly visible when new
Texas sun bakes these and makes them brittle after about one year. Works great and highly visible when new, but expect to reinstall a new vane at least once a year.

The picture shows the counterweight and pivot, but delivered ...
The picture shows the counterweight and pivot, but delivered is just the thin bare vane plastic. This is what deteriorates anyway, and all I needed.

Vane Only
Even though the description indicates "with mounting hardware", this is ONLY a replacement Vane, not the complete wind indicator. As far as the vane, it was okay. Just couldn't use it without the rest of the assembly.

Traditional product - works well, inexpensive, requires periodic replacement
This Davis vane is a design that must be at least 60 years old - it works well. However, the plastic vane degrades in sunlight - in places like California and Florida it can fail in a year. I spray paint the top with a light coat of aluminum paint to substantially lengthen its life. However, this does require you to adjust the balance, perhaps adding an extra nut for counterweight.

Not what I got
Not what I got. Copied this out of the description; Comes equipped with both a top mount and fitting with new quick-release side mount(I also needed that part) (look at the picture provided, the red vain part is all I received). The only thing that was in the box was the red plastic part, one part, that was it. The box did not look damaged or tampered with. I am very disappointed at this point as I was intending on using this over the next week. I will be writing to see what they will do to correct this issue. I have ordered many things on Amazon and am hopeful that I can have this taken care of with out a great deal of effort.

Did not even come boxed!
Got grease on my hands when I pulled vane out of Amazon box. Vane completely covered in grease. Slightly bowed in one spot. Because of how it will be used, he feels it will still do the job. If it was a purchase for me, it would already be in its way back to you. For me - very disappointed. For him - he’s okay with it. Hope he still feels the same way next summer when it’s atop his sailboat..
