i bought it at west marine and now have two..
one for the bow and one for the stern..
it only needs a two to one scope with no chain at all needed
and if the wind or current changes it will flip over and bite within 1 foot
the anchor also folds flat if you would like for easier storage..
i suggest you at least check it out before you purchase a different anchor
it may look scary but i now swear by it..
good luck

Looks interesting, and I like the compact folding aspect, but for the same price as the Digger, it looks like the box anchor may be more purpose built (sand bottom and near calm conditions) Then again, that is the majority of my usage, I'll take a look next time I'm in West Marine.

Thanks!
