This anchor can work, maybe, but with no chain, bad technique and winds it is not likely. I agree that technique and know-how is most important. I do feel that spending $100 or $125 on a decent anchor is money well spent and will make your anchoring time much easier.

It is common to see these cheap anchors paired up with no chain, too little scope and perplexed looks when it does not hold.
