In use on this Ratchet puller it is resistant to permanent smashing yet whiplash-free. (does not store energy, cannot whiplash if broken). On top of all that it is easy on your hands - it has no wire wickers. If you are in the market for a new ratchet puller that is lighter than conventional cable pullers and safer look no further.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the warranty
Answer:	If your setup is correct then yes you would have no problem lowering 500lbs slowly down
Question:	Does the winch come with everything pictured, winch, handle and pulley
Answer:	No, just what you see on the box. My son showed me how to use it. Look for an answer that I posted for another buyer, see if it helps.
Question:	Is this an authentic Wyeth-Scott puller? It appears to be a different shade of red in the picture and is less expensive than comparable sites
Answer:	It took my son to figure it out for me. There is a spring that you have to engage in. Look closely at the spring and you will see the notches. Move it side to side. Hope this helps. Happy towing!!!
Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	The description does say for "Lifting, Pulling, Stretching". That being said you might want to look for a hoist as this thing isn't the sturdiest thing out there though it was fine for what I used it for (stretching wire deer fencing).

It is ideal for use in construction, landscaping, and farm projects. One anchor 5/16 in. safety latch hook and two 5/16 in. safety latch hooks allow for use as either a single line or double line. Safety latch hooks are self-closing for secure connections. Strong 1/4 in. aircraft-grade braided steel cable has a maximum pull length of 12 ft. 7 in. (7 ft. 3 in. used as a double line). Dual gears and locking pawls distribute pulling force evenly. All-steel construction with a corrosion-resistant galvanized finish is built to last.

User questions & answers

Question:	can I use this to tighten a zip line cable
Answer:	American Power Pull has replacements for most parts on this item. If you contact them they will send you a parts breakdown.
Question:	To what length will it extend
Answer:	5/16"
Question:	Why is it that the "solid steel" gears and pawls do not attract a magnet
Answer:	Do not buy this cable puller, it is a knock off, we had two break right away. I would get the expensive one from company direct
Question:	Is this come along easy to release
Answer:	Using pulley block, puller capacity is 4 tons (within past few years capacity was re-certified from 3 tons to 4 tons, per American Power Pull) with 10 feet of reach: total length of cable was also changed, from 18 feet to 20 feet. So you got 4 tons with 10 feet of reach (with pulley block hook), or 2 tons with 20 feet of reach. Have used it upwards of 6,500 pounds several times with no problems.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there a youtube video on the operation of this
Answer:	Yes, you can use this to temporarily tighten your zip line cable, however, a proper sized turnbuckle would be advisable for permanent attachment.
Question:	Are the gears steel? Are there two? Where is it manufactured
Answer:	10 to 12 feet working length but can be used with a longer cable or strap to reach longer distances. Any longer cable on the puller would be too bulky.
Question:	Is there an instruction manual or directions for this
Answer:	There are various versions of stainless steel. Carbon is the component that is removed to make steel more corrosion resistant. But removing carbon also makes the steel softer. So some stainless is magnetic, and the ones with very little carbon are not magnetic, I don't care how strong your magnet is. To give back some strength to the metal after removing the carbon, they usually add nickel. That's like 301 Stainless. However there is a 'cheaper' version that adds no nickel, only aluminum and magnesium. Honestly, I'm not sure what these gears are made of, but they are SOFT. Very soft when filing. I suspect this is the cheapest version of stainless, the 201. I have tried to find out from the seller what the gears are made of. But they have no idea.
Question:	Can i use this to pull a car frame back straight from the side i had a lot of people tell me i can use one of these
Answer:	Yes, I find it very easy to release. Under load, you release in reverse. Under no load, release and pulling out the cable is extremely easy. I use this to put up a supporting beam 2k lbs all by myself.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this of USA
Answer:	its very easy. just attach the hook to something and flip the little switch to engage ratchet and just crank away. or you can take the hook on the end of the cable and attach it to the base of the come-along, and then attach the hook with the pulley to the object your anchoring to and it will give you 2x the pulling power.
Question:	Sirve para sacar pulin de la bomba de la direccion asistida moto
Answer:	The sprocket is metal. Whether it is steel or some type of aluminum alloy, I am not sure. There aren't multiple gears. Just a wheel with s sprocket/teeth and s ratcheting wheel. I've only used it a few times. I pulled my mower out of a mud pit with no problem. The more heavy duty application I used it for was pulling out a dented in bumper. I have a 2003 F-250 Super Duty. I strapped one end to a flatbed and the hook to the bumper and cranked on it. It pulled the bent bumper right into place. That's a lot of torque.
Question:	Does this work on a 79 chevy c10 with a 350 sbc
Answer:	There was a short instruction sheet with mine. I think it was just 1 or 2 pages.
Question:	Will this pull the power steering pully off a 1997 toyota 4runner
Answer:	Depending on how bad and where in the frame you might be able too. I know it will pull a car with a locked down transmission like it was nothing. For the money its probably with the chance. I am happy with it but that was not my intended use.

Question:	will this tool work to remove the power steering pully from a 98 chevy 5.7L v
Answer:	If you use at least 2 pullys
Question:	Will this work on a Chrysler 3.3L
Answer:	Maybe. Trying to racket if stuck good is very difficult. High centered my Tacoma in snow and gave up trying to rachect using technique you described. Fortunately another Taco popped me right out.
Question:	Will this work on a ford taurus power steering pully
Answer:	it is made in Taiwan.
Question:	Will this kit remove the power steering pulley from my 2007 Ford Focus
Answer:	Actually, the useful pull is only 2' 9" I've looked at all the "4-ton / 5-ton" come-alongs priced less than 100 bucks, and man it looks like they're *ALL* being made by one Chinese factory and just being re-branded. They all have the same lever, the same crappy handle, the same laminated gears and pawls... This one is somewhat the exception, and it's looking like the winner. The handle alone sets it above the others. Then there's the fitted storage case, the solid steel gears, the 1/4" cable... The only problem is the reach. It's pathetic. So I'm thinking about getting it anyway and dealing with the reach problem in one or both of two ways: 1) Replace the steel cable with 3/16" Dyneema rope, two lays of which will handle at least 11,000 lbs. Between the Dyneema being smaller and laying in the spool better, I figure this will at least double the reach to 5-plus feet. You can get pre-made Dyneema winch line this size with one eye already made. You'll have to figure out the right length and make the other eye yourself, for which you'll also need a 3/16" fib, a pusher, and knowing what you're doing (YT vids). Also make sure to re-work the spool including the cable attachment, the cable "fairlead," and the hook pulley so there are no rough spots, sharp edges, burrs, etc. anywhere. 2) Set up your pulls so that you're hooking onto and pulling a length of chain you can lock between pulls. The locking is done with a separate chain, anchored parallel to the come-along, that has a grab hook on the end. This way you can pull 5 feet, lock the pull chain with the lock chain, re-hook for the next 5 feet, etc. Your length of pull under load is then limited only by the amount of pull chain you did your set-up with. The unmodified puller can be used this way too-- you'll just be re-hooking more often. Hope that helps. Be careful, stay safe, don't ever stop being scared of doing this stuff! One mistake can ruin your whole day.
