Hand Puller For Handyman: Cable Puller
We had a tree stump on our lawn , its diameter is about a bit greater than 4′ , it had annoyed us for quite some time , we’ve tried chainsaw on it but nothing can go through it, lately we bought a 4 ton rated cable puller , hooked onto a pickup and dragged the stump out without major effort!
Cable pullers are great multi purpose and heavy duty hand tools that any handy man should have them around in their basement . 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. We usually call cable puller “Come Along“, by definition, a come along is a hand operated ratchet lever winch, so cable puller can be called come along, along with chain puller, chain hoist, hand winch, trailer winch. The difference between cable puller and other come alongs is that cable pullers are considered heavy duty tools, pull capacity can be 4 ton(8800lbs), while typical hand winch has 400-4000lbs capacity and mostly used to pull boat out of or lower boat into water from trailer, sometimes also called boat trailer winch.
