Great Video. Embarrassed to say but I never had a father figure growing up to teach me this type of stuff. Now as a grown adult, I Own a small tractor that is stuck in snow and I am going to buy one of these to help get it out. So thank you for the Education.
I found this very helpful. I had never used a come along before until today. Notice a couple of things - if you look at the video, you will notice that he has some rings attached to the come along hooks. Get a couple of those if you don't have them, it'll make it easier to attach your chains to the come along. Another thing, the come along is fairly heavy, you are going to get a little exercise using it if you are using it to pull up a bunch of small stumps like I am doing. Also, this video will make a lot more sense if you watch it, then go out and hook it up, then come back and watch the video again. Then you'll go "oh, I get it now". Remember to use the come along between TWO chains and remember that you are going to attach to the object you want to move first. Attach to your anchor point second.
Thank you for a comprehensive explanation and demonstration of the use of the Come Along Tool. For my own use, the presentation will make the use of these tools safe for myself, and others who will benefit from your informative video. Thank you and those who assisted in this presentation. Valuable information for all who use these tools or consider there use.
I just used this tool to help reposition Motor Mounts in there respective position(s). Just replaced the Exhaust Manifolds and Motor Mounts on a Ford 5.4 Liter (3) Valve Engine. The Special Hoist saved the day.
This HELP ALOT!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIMEenergy i was stuck!!! Caught with 300 lbs dangling in the air and forgot how to release the tension!!!!! Again thank you!!!
Thank you so much for the helpful, thorough safety information. I have to cut firewood and have some cut sections that I would estimate are approx 500 lbs and more.At 5'1" and 120 lbs, I certainly don't have the physical strength to move these things. Once these large sections are in position, I do have the proper chain saw to handle cutting them down to a workable size for splitting. And no, I don't have the help I need right now, but getting a nice come a long will help get the job done. Again, thanks so much for the safety information, and also, thanks for your service.
Patricia Roselli you can also look into using a chain fall you can get one at harbor freight or amazon the only thing is chain falls have to be rigged over head so you would need a tree branch or a gin pole or something similar
Good job buddy. I'm a retired fireman myself. Independence Missouri. Right next to Kansas City. You really did an excellent job there. Congratulations.
Appreciate the video. Last I used one was early 90's in the fire service. All the hydraulics took over the daily operations and never needed to since - at least in my operations. When I used the come along I don't recall all the options now available. They were heavy and felt durable lasting a lifetime of service even in the fire service. I need one for a root system I need to get rid of. Axe, chainsaw, chains and a come along. What brand would you recommend? I like choices when I know what I talking about which starts and ends with knots and food:). Appreciate any input.
That is a solid come-along, solid thick steel. A million times better than my chinese made $40 "4 ton" that will probably bend the first time I use it.
Tim, Great video! however your operations of the come-a-long are not entirely correct. All of your information is accurate except for the operations of the tool to create slack or release the cable while under tension. This is probably to most common mistake I see with come-a-long operations. When you want to release the come-a-long while under tension the proper method is to flip the direction of travel switch towards the stationary hook or in the open position. This allows the tool to work in a ratcheting fashion. With the lever flipped open you now can lever the device all the way towards the cable side of the tool. The direction of travel lever will then auto engage and release the cable one click at a time. This allows no hands around the cable area during tension operations. You will also maintain tension control at all times.
+Firetimeproductions Why is there always a critic in every aspect of everything. It is basic training. The trainer did a great job showing how to use this tool. Give it a rest.
Go to Harbor Freight and get a chain one so much easier to operate and if the chain isn't long enough get some cable and put eyes on both ends those cable ones are a pain in the ass
Is the 1:1 or free hook you speak of the same thing as the term double purpose? Also, is a snatch block the way to do essentially the same thing as the 1:1 free hook pully you mention and show in your video? How was that free hook actually put onto the pully? Was the end of the cable removed in some manner. Sorry if this sort of questioning seems dumb, but I have never worked with such and have viewed several videos where no one ever seems to show just how to hook up such on a standard cable puller or come along. In the box stores locally, the staff working there mostly have never even used a come along to know how to answer these questions to begin with. Thanks for any info on this. Nice video.
I have such a problem with my come-along. It has a design flaw. The slackening mechanism should be more like the kind you have. So much quicker and doesn't require me to do three operations at the same time.
8:30! Git yer hand away from there young man. I'm looking for something to hoist some pieces up to make a treehouse. I assume a comealong works like a winch and can't be connected backward. :-/
thats all i was looking for was the manufacturer of this tool. i have a cheap one and again i am reassured that you get what you pay for. i want one like this.

A proper instructional video. Useful practical and straight to the point. I'm proud of our fire fighters professionalism. Thank you
This was extremely well done, and very well executed. I just watched this for offroading vehicle recovery type situations. Much appreciated.
This was very helpful. The presenter did a great job in explaining the function of all the parts and in covering the safety challenges. Well done.

Man I wish all instructional videos were this straightforward. Thank you very much.
Excellent instructional video. I watched in its entirety for DIY frame repair purposes and learned some great safety steps. Appreciate it.
Thank you much for this video. It has been a few years since used the come a long. My dad is no longer here for me to ask for a refresher. Thank you.
Excellent. I really wanted to know how to release it when under tension. This video demonstrated exactly how to do it. Thanks.
If you want to know how to release the tension the proper way, here is the tutorial. ua-cam.com/video/ZE6MjmBJk20/v-deo.html

A clear and concise explanation and demostration. Wish there was more of it.
Not a fire fighter but needed to understand the function of come a long. It helped!

How did you use the come along tool to help you with the large wood sections. I face the same issue.
Patricia, How did you use the come along tool to help you with the large wood sections. I face the same issue.

Very well done. Exceptional video and demonstration.
Good video! Thanks for the explanation of how to use the double hook set up!
Great video, simple and to the point. Keep up the good work, brother!
Great, great, well done video. You answered all my questions in the very well developed training video. Thank you!
Well done. Very good introduction to the come along...thank you for sharing it.
Thanks Tim for sharing, your information has been helpful, Later.
thanks for the information, looks like I need one of these things for sure.
how could someone thumbs down this video? this is all great and valuable information. thanks tim!
Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for.
Much appreciated! Very clear and practical!
Great video! Thanks for posting.
Great video 👏
Very good training. Thank you!

Ur come along is a lot fancier than ours and doesn't release the same way
Very good info. Thank you.
This is a good tutorial.
That is a solid come-along, solid thick steel. A million times better than my chinese made $40 "4 ton" that will probably bend the first time I use it.
Who makes that come along?
Thank you!
Good instruction. Thank you.
Cheers mate

A good hint is a good hint. Nothing wrong with that.
Do you have a video clip of this action.
Go to Harbor Freight and get a chain one so much easier to operate and if the chain isn't long enough get some cable and put eyes on both ends those cable ones are a pain in the ass

Where can I purchase the same come along as in this video? I have a come along, but it doesn't look like yours. I like yours better. Thanks.
if ya haven't got one yet look up Lug-ALL
@@frankmatyus4784 $220-$280? Ouch. That’s what it is tho.
@@Objectional_Opinion yeah bit pricey but worth it, i have had mine for better then 25 years, and it moves some serious boulders
Where do you get one? All I'm seeing is the cheap onrs that bend.😳
What brand come along is this.
Anybody know what brand of come along he is using?
Who is the manufacturer of this come along?
What brand come along is that? Mine has no sprocket for taking up slack like that.
Don't tell my buddies I watched this 🥴
Thank you sir.
Anyone know what brand that come-along is?
8:30! Git yer hand away from there young man. I'm looking for something to hoist some pieces up to make a treehouse. I assume a comealong works like a winch and can't be connected backward. :-/
what company is that? and what is the capacity?
...tarp...👍
what is the name and model of that tool?
It looks a lot like an Ingersoll-Rand C-series. They're pretty burly pullers.
thats all i was looking for was the manufacturer of this tool. i have a cheap one and again i am reassured that you get what you pay for. i want one like this.
Load capacity on the unit is garbage, couldn't even move my 3ton truck. I dont get why they wouldn't slap a winch on the front the E-One..
my come along only has two hooks.
