You are unfortunately wrong on many points there. I do agree the cheap come along shouldn't be used for a recovery, the point was to show how difficult it is as many 4wd enthusiasts use these as a backup. This model was rated to 4 tons in a double line pull. Yes, a soft shackle could have been used on tree strop to ensure the latch could have closed as an added safety measure. The synthetic rope was also connected to the wire puller by a steel thimble - so its not a point of failure, only the rope breaking would be, with the most likely spot being the knot for the bowline, hence the rope was overrated at 9600 kg. The vehicle being pulled was in neutral with the hand brake on... so it was being dragged. If any failure occurred it wouldn't have moved. The more power puller is a completely different puller, designed and tested for dead lifting and pulling up to 12,000 pound. These have been used in many recovery situations for decades. Every recovery situation is different and dangerous, and people need to make a call when it is safe to use or not use a certain recovery device. This isn't a training video, it's purely a comparison of two products.

Good advice, thanks for sharing

Hi Ryan - neutral, dont put it in park as then your having to drag the vehicle. This video the ute was in neutral with handbrake on, to show the strength of the winch. Better to be dragging it on a flat or uphill gradient, as if its downhill and you break free, chance the vehicle could roll forward.

Where can you learn about the things you talk about? Are there books or courses? I just purchased a used come along to pull large bushes. I never realized the topic was so rich with technical information.

​@henrykarabela1829 Hello. My main sources of knowledge are the internet including You Tube. I am unaware of any books or courses. However please pursue more knowledge and understanding of the subject because the forces that come alongs can generate can result in very serious, even fatal injuries to you and/or bystanders if something gives way while trying to shift or lift a load. Stay safe and God Bless.

It says in the instructions not to do this because the bending handle let's you know it's too heavy. Not criticizing, just letting you know in case you don't know already.

@@FourLowAdventures I have probably had over 100 of More Power Pullers. Never seen a factory handle in my life, besides a picture. I do use a solid rod for a handle. I keep one 2 1/2' long, and a 6' one with me, on my travels.

Hi, yes that's one of the great advantages. See this video as an example. ua-cam.com/video/cQWMkdsZwKw/v-deo.html

I have removed and installed many large engine/transmission combos with a more power puller. They let down easy.

@@handwinchnewzealand1801 Unlike this Chinese come-along, the Wyeth Scott was not designed for releasing tension on the line. In the video from the link, the guy is trying to prove that it's possible, but it was only possible because the tension was not very high. If it were, he wouldn't be able to operate that handle with one hand and the pawl with the other.

Definitely, wouldn't want to rely on it in a recovery situation! This video shows the cheap model being used trying to winch a ute with a handbrake on, basically - cant move it. The More Power Puller chips away fine by comparison. ua-cam.com/video/vHpZ88BR7PY/v-deo.html

Wyeth Scott is name of company. More Power Puller is name of come along. They are the strongest thing out there. American Power Pull is made in China.

@@ridgerunner106 有り難うございました。

@@user-jy9bf7nq3k I hope you can get one.

Hi John, I have never measured this, but it takes about 2 minutes to wind in 10 m of rope (under no weight). There is a video on my channel pulling a log out of a gully - that took around 6 minutes to pull 5-6 m (roughly 35-40 inches per minute). Hope that helps

You can calculate it if you know the input force required.

Hi John. This is simply a bowline knot tied off at the appropriate length to the vehicle. This is then looped through to a trailer hitch receiver with rated bow shackle, rather than tying off the towball. Bowlines with 10 mm rope like this dont slip, so once the slack is taken up it takes the weight.

​@@handwinchnewzealand1801 I've never seen a bowline slip on any rope between 10mm and 22mm. That's without a Yosemite finish. I learned to climb on a bowline on 13mm rope. It's one of the best knots ever, 👍🪓🌲🇮🇪

Hi Luke, it's 10mm thick rope which helps, I could do it with my hands with a bit of wiggling, but with a leatherman/pliers was immediate.

They don’t seem to have a phone number, you could try their email: hand.winch.nz@gmail.com

Thanks for the comment, they stand up to the test of time! Would highly recommend the AmSteel Blue Rope, it just needs a bit more care to look after thats all.
