The TANKTM US Flag
Kit
At left: This picture says it all. Just take a look that the
wall thicknesses of these two poles. The TANKTMpole
is on the left. A standard 1" aluminum pole is on the right. The TANKTM
has a one piece 6' highly polished silver aluminum
pole with an unprecedented wall thickness of 1/8".
At right: Look at this moose of a bracket. Highly polished
solid aluminum "star bracket" is extra strong. Its unique design sets it apart
from any bracket we've seen. It comes with 1.5" mounting screws.

The precision machined gold anodized solid aluminum ball
ornament is threaded on to the top of the flagpole and is secured with a
stainless steel set screw.
Notice the anti-furl collar system. Your flag attaches to the
collar with the split ring. The flag is not fixed to the pole, it is attached to
the collar that is free to rotate around the pole. Each collar is held in place
with three allen head set screws. An allen head wrench is included with each
kit.
IF YOUR GOAL IS TO HAVE THE MOST EFFECTIVE ANTI WRAP FLAGPOLE,
DO NOT GET THIS KIT. GET THE Flyrite
Rotating Flag Kit With Anti Wrapping Device Every kit has an advantage and
disadvantage. The Tank kit has the highest tech machined look. It is as super
strong and many find its precision ornament, gleaming finish and designer
bracket the preferred choice. The antiwrap system is fairly effective but not as
effective as the Flyrite system which is the top performing rotating flagpole
system of the three we have.

Budget American Flag Kit
#WPEF $99 per BOX OF 6 KITS. Shipped only in full boxes of 6
kits
We are selling it WITHOUT A BRACKET to include:
Wood pole: 5' long, 15/16" diameter with wood ball and
antiwrap tube.
American Flag: Dyed nylon approx 2.5'x4'
THIS PRICE DOES NOT INCLUDE A BRACKET
But no so fast! Usually "budget" means the lowest quality,
entry level flag. This one is does have dyed stars and stripes. BUT it is a
nylon flag.
Most low end kits have a light weight polyester flag. Nylon
is a nice step up.
TRUTH IN ADVERTISING. A word on antiwrap tubes: People hear
the word "antiwrap" and then they expect their flag never to warp. There are
all kinds of antiwrap systems. This is the simplest type there is. It is a
very basic concept and it is hardly foolproof. But for the money and given the
unusually nice quality of the nylon flag in a kit of this price range, it is a
lovely value. Ball bearing systems are far better but much more costly. We
sell two types of those also.
