Wooly Mammoth Tooth Puller [Posted on 2008-08-24]
Heavy duty and top quality. As far as I can tell, since I don't have a 5-ton scale, the actual capacity is probably over 5-tons. I had several huge trees, 90-foot hardwoods, that needed to come down. With massive bullrope in the top of the target tree and the pully anchored with log-chain to the base of another tree, I began cranking the lever. I wanted to make certain the tree fell exactly where I wanted. I had to back off to keep from pulling some out of the trees out of the ground, root ball and all, before laying a chainsaw to them. This puller works - and it appears to be made well enough that I feel safe using it. That's very important. I inspected every detail before I put it to use. I could not find any markings indicating where it was made. That might be important to some. I could have really used this baby back in the old college days when I was trying to find a parking place at a football game. Man, we could have rearranged the whole parking lot.
What you pay for [Posted on 2008-10-24]
For the price I can't really complain about this item but I should point out some "details".
First of all, there are no markings anywhere on this thing to tell you the rated capacity or anything else.
Second, if you've seen an old, Made in USA, cast iron and forged steel true 5 ton come-a-long in your granddad's barn or at your uncles shop you'll probably have some doubts once you pull this little thing out of the box: it's all laminated and stamped parts, very light weight.
Despite the cons, and the fact that I had to tighten some of the cross-bolts right out of the box, I'm still happy with the item - price. Before using it I'll be replacing the skinny cable with some 1/4 or 5/16 and then use this thing till it breaks. You'll see a follow up when that happens!
very nice come-along [Posted on 2008-10-30]
very nice, the single hook is a little smaller then I would like, but it works very well. You have to reach in and move the spring over for the release trip, instead of a leaver, not bad just different.
