  |
|
Does anyone know of a good brand for a cable winch puller aka a "come-along"? Or are they all about the same. I need one in the 4000-8000 pound range because mine is worn out and it never worked well anyways. Built fence with it yesterday and I had my fill.

To get to 4T on a double line puller you would need 1/2" cable. I think that is outside the range of most simple come-alongs.
That said Coffing hoists are well regarded and they make a 1T/2T puller - model number C404WNB (9/32 cable). Probably set you back the better part of $300.
Also might want to look at these pullers from Wyeth-Scott - they are a bit less expensive: Wyeth-Scott Pullers.
Another high quality puller is Lug-All but they are even pricier: Lug-All Cable Pullers

I've had my Lug-All for 30+ years. It's a really well built tool.

You get what you pay for with come a longs. Hard to find good ones without spending real money.

I think chain hoists are more user friendly than the
cable pullers?

I use it for winching fences and pulling calves, and tractors and what not. I rarely use it for dead lifting. If I got into overhauling motors I would get a chain hoist, those work real well.

Is Lug-all a better puller overall than the Wyeth Scott? I am willing to pay for a puller that will last me 30 years. Or is there not a dimes worth of difference--except the dimes. I am also willing to use a puller whose cabling does not gouge me and make me bleed like a stuck pig. Twice.
Yes, the old one was from overseas.

Anyone ever heard anything of Lincoln cable pullers? Supposedly, they made Lug-all and then no longer after a breach of contract.

Yes, Lincoln made some (all???) of the Lug-All models and still sells repair parts for them. They even have the same part numbers on their current products. I don't know about any contract issues but it's entirely possible given the verbage on the Lincoln website.
I have never had my hands on a Lug-All but I've seen the Wyeth pullers "in person" and they are impressive - and heavy!
Every piece of Coffing lifting gear I have ever seen was top of the line.
I wish you a long and prosperous life but I suspect any/all of them will outlive you.

Didn't have to look too far to find the breach of contract story. Sounds like the Lug-All management folks are rather slimey...
Lincoln Hoist wins judgement agains Lug-All
