Hand Puller For Handyman: Cable Puller
There was a tree stump on our lawn , its diameter is about a little bit greater than 4′ , it had bothered us for quite some time , we’ve tried chainsaw on it but nothing can go through it, lately we bought a cable puller with 4 ton capacity , together with my truck pulled the stump out without major effort!
Actually cable pullers are heavy duty pulling tools and can be used to do a lot of things, sometimes you even can use it in pace of ATV Winch to save money. A typical cable puller has 1 ton to 4 ton pulling capacity, the lifting capacity is half of the pulling, and pull reach ranges from 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. regular 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 heavy, non movable , 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 trees out of somewhere , compare to electric powered winch, such as ATV winch , cable pullers are cheaper alternatives. OK, it’s time to get some pullers, you’ll see the search engine is the best friend, a few searches away there will be more than a few nice deals.
