It sets quickly and resets itself if the wind swings, which matters most when you are anchored overnight and the breeze comes around. Weed and hard sand are its weak spots: in thick weed it skates across the top rather than digging in. Sand and mud are where it shines.
No. Holding comes from shape, weight and how much chain you let out, not from the metal. Stainless earns its keep by not bleeding rust down your topsides and by cleaning up with a hose. Same anchor in galvanised holds identically and looks worse doing it.
Yes, and it does more work than the anchor. A few metres of chain keeps the pull horizontal so the claw digs rather than lifts, and it takes the chafe on the bottom. Rope straight to the anchor will trip it the moment the boat rides up.
