EZN pocket mount, regular and mini quick disconnect
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
|
After ordering I recieved a well packaged EZN pocket mount, as well as the regular and mini quick disconnect in two days, priority mail. I have to agree with other comments, really outstanding workmanship, hefty - solid devices, and fits my Ram truck perfectly. He has taken the angle of the bed in this new truck into account and the Chameleon antenna is perfectly vertical when attached to this mount. These are well done.

Quality superb
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
Wow. I started mobile with the Hustler series of antennas and began with a cheap ball mount by others that was not at all up to par. I needed help because I already had cut a big hole in the van!
Hank basically made me a custom ball mount to fit the hole that I already cut in the vehicle and it worked very well. I used the quick change ball top for that configuration.
Later on I changed to a Larrys screwdriver antenna. For that I need to only change one thing on my setup which was to use the flattop mount. It was an easy change for me and not expensive for him to make. He is great to deal with even if your needs evolve.

Built to Last
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
There is not a whole lot more I can add about the quality of the mounts from Hank Breedlove Machine Shop. I purchased a Flat Top Ball Mount, a Quick Disconnect Mount, and a EZ Over Antenna Mount.
All are strong mounts, machined from solid brass, that should last a lifetime. On the Flat Top Ball Mount, I needed a 1/2 inch thread on the antenna side of the mount to support a GS4 screwdriver antenna, rather than the more common 3/8 thread.
Hank had no issues supplying what I needed at no extra cost, Bravo! If you are looking for a strong antenna mount that will last, look no further than Breedlove Machine Shop.

OMG! Now THAT's an antenna mount!
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months

I bought two of Breedlove's $25 straight pedestal mounts. I opened the shipping box and was blown away by the quality of these mounts. They are machined from a solid piece of high strength aluminum and will still be usable when everyone reading this review is a silent key!

Great mount
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
|
After playing around with antenna mounts for my Ford F-150, I was ready to give up. I was referred to Breedlove Machine Shop antenna mounts in NC. I bought the truck stake hole mount model (EZN). And it works great right out of the box! I now have a good ground and my Little Tar Heel II screwdriver works the way it was designed to. I would rate this mount 5 PLUS!!!

Great HF Antenna Mount
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
|
After trying several HF antenna mounts, even a roof-top magnet mount, I bought a Breedlove EZN pick-up truck stake hole mount. I should have had this one from the beginning! It solved all my grounding problems and made my Little Tar Heel II screwdriver antenna work the way it was designed. Cost was only $35.00 plus $10.00 for shipping. A good buy for a mount that actually works right out of the box! A 5 Plus, Plus!!!

First class product
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
If you want a first class, great looking mount then look no father! The workmanship is outstanding, shipment of product is great.
Craig's mounts are the only ones I would recommend. They are made of the highest quality material and will last a lifetime

Custom Stake Pocket Mount
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
I got another mount from Jerry, this time a custom configuration of a Stake Pocket Mount for my Dodge. Once again, Jerry shows he's a very skilled machinist (and a wonderful person) as he supplied a well-finished, sturdy mount in time for my vacation.
If you're in search of high quality, well designed, rugged and long-lasting antenna mounts, Jerry Breedlove is the answer!

Solid well made mount
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
I've used several other antenna mounts and at a recent ham club meeting compared what others were using for their mobile HF antennas - every one I looked at had experienced failures from stripped out threads or weak materials that could not handle the stresses of an HF antenna on a mobile installation. In the past I've had a lot of trouble trying to keep my antennas vertical as I drive....not with this mount. I got the pinned ball mount and it stays where it belongs.
The Breedlove ball mount is massive, well made from quality materials, and it ain't going anywhere. My antenna is rock solid. When I opened the box and held the mount in my hand I really felt like I had gotten way more in value than what I paid for - a novel sensation. If/when I buy mobile antenna mounts in the future, they'll be hand-made in the USA....from Breedlove.

A mount built like a tank
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
I got tired of my flimsy stake mount in my truck and was looking for something that was well built.
I got what I asked for and more with the Breedlove stake mount. It came in less then a week and looks stronger then the truck itself. It has a nice mounting system compared to others that use expanding rubber. Once mounted, this mount is not going anywhere.
Great customer service.
I've been spending all week recommending this mount to everyone.
