Nice Tools: One Ton To Four Ton Cable Puller
For a few weeks we’ve been fighting with a large Balsam Fir which had been partially blown up and ended up hanging on to another tree, and it was on a steep slope within less than 10′ of our garage door, we bought a 2 ton cable puller and ended up destroying the puller, we had to buy a cable puller with 4 ton capacity , and this time it did the job and our garage was still standing .
Cable pullers are perfect multi purpose and heavy duty stretching tools that any handy man should have them around in their garage. The cable pullers usually have 1 ton to 4 ton pulling capacity, the lifting capacity is half of the pulling, and pull reach can be 6′ to 12′, 4 ton puller typically has 6′ reach but extra heavy duty ones may have more than 11′ reach. People sometimes call these cable pullers “Come Along”, but come along refers to a lot of different hand tools besides cable pullers, such as chain hoists, chain pullers, hand winch, strap pullers, and more, in a word, a come along is a hand operated ratchet lever winch. Typically hand winch is used to pull boat out of water on the boat trailer or lower the boat into water, hence the name ‘boat trailer winch”, and hand winch has to be fixed onto something before use while you can just hook cable puller onto something immobile , such as a tree.
If you want to lifting or lowering something, you should choose cable pullers. To pull vehicles onto the trailer or release the vehicle off the trailer, to pull or tear down trees, to lift or lower heavy stuff in your house, pull the stuck vehicle out of somewhere , compare to electric powered winch, such as electric winch , cable pullers are inexpensive handy tools. Let’s have some cable pullers now, you’ll see the search engine is the best friend, a few searches away there will be more than a few nice deals.
