[@gregoryaxton9723]

dunno if you guys gives a damn but if you're stoned like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all the latest movies on instaflixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend these days xD

[@renekohen3779]

@Gregory Axton definitely, been using Instaflixxer for since november myself =)

Glad you mentioned the cheap 12v HF electric winch. It's worth the extra $$$, especially if you can get it on sale for $50.00. The remote works well on it. A nice feature. I'm using the hand winch right now to stretch a slightly too small serpentine belt, and it's great for something like that. That sliding spring to reduce tension is a bit of a pain to operate.

[@nxsmotorsports]

Huge help, man. Thank you!

[@waleedacca]

Thanks for the video, very informative

[@tyrelli001]

Just bought one and tried first time today. Wouldn't uncoil the wire when new. After 15 minutes of frustration, figured out the "spring" position slides in the groove. Slide "spring" end to uncoil (I grabbed the wire, pulling hook impossible). Then reslide (never remove) the spring end to the other side to get the pulling action. Cheap harbor freight stuff, but hey works for small jobs.

[@toolhead147]

Its very handy to have at a reasonable price.

[@treyjoiner7950]

Thanks for the video

[@robertgregory6693]

Thank you for the video it was very helpful. The spring is the key to go from pulling to release. Now why didn’t they make that point in the instructions. You saved the day!😃

[@toolhead147]

China stuff, glad it helped

[@gagebenson7898]

Just so everyone knows if you have the 8k or 4K come along if the handle starts bending that’s a safety mechanism the handle is meant to bend before the cable snaps so you don’t kill your self by getting hit by a piece of metal with 4Klbs built up in it

[@iphonegaming9766]

Dam, that's pretty impressive. Always like people going the extra mile for human safety.

[@Wrenchesandboards4u2u]

Awesome video and loved the magic trick great review thank you for sharing friend.

[@toolhead147]

Wrenches and boards sometimes we have to have a little fun with magic lol thanks for supporting my channel friend!

[@rosirockful]

Thanks. Helped a lot!

Your welcome!

[@TateReggie]

Thanks!

[@ericx4124]

Thanks for the vid! I bought one, threw out the instructions, and needed this!

[@toolhead147]

thank you for watching

[@robertgregory6693]

Those instructions are worthless anyway. You didn’t lose anything by discarding them.

[@jodysappington7008]

Good review.

Thank you

I bought an American Cable Puller from ACE Hardware. The directions were horrible. After watching a video, I found out house to operate it. The cable unwind was hard, and had to use my big boy muscles to pull it out. The Harbor Freight tool looks very similar. Mine worked fine which I used it, but markings on the puller would be a great help. Levers displayed in this video show a clear operation better than any printed instructions.

[@johnle231]

Yes it definitely works

[@gagebenson7898]

If you don’t like the lock part you’ve never needed it to pull serious weight, trust me that lock part is real nice when you got 6klbs built up on it and don’t want it slipping straight back at you I’ve had it happen be careful especially when by yourself granted these was a pretty easy task

[@nathansunnaa7222]

I bought one didn’t like this one , you gotta f around with it too much, very nice video though did better than me with it, I also like the cut on the 4x4s makes for a nice sled, good idea💡

[@GMZee559]

O Wow‼️

[@omarmohammed6838]

Great video , do you think it could be used to pull a car frame an inch or two?

[@toolhead147]

yes if you got some sort of sliding surface like concrete or wheels to slide it.

Hi my friend it's me solar on a budget just checking to see if I could leave a comment

[@toolhead147]

Thank you for watching friend

[@swcellular]

Could not see how you released the tension to unhook the cable?

[@toolhead147]

Check out 2:07 move that small lever to disengage. Once you have that use the big lever to release one by one to release pressure

[@mikelkeith2115]

Glue for handle lol

[@camposvazquez]

I have a suzuki samurai.. Weighs 2100 lbs.. Will this manual winch work to recover it when it gets stuck? The electric winchs are out of my budget

[@Mixwell1983]

They have a 1200lb, 4000 and 8000Lbs ones. The 4000LB one is $22 at harbor freight. The one shown in this vid is 1200LBs so spend the extra like $5 and get the 4000 one. Im gona get the 4000lb one as I dont have one and never know when I may need it.

[@camposvazquez]

@@Mixwell1983 Thank you...picking one up tomorrow

[@johnle231]

Yeah it will work

[@camposvazquez]

@@johnle231thank you I put it on my tow dolly.... Looking to get an electric winch with synthetic lines.. I have a 96 4runner and the samurai.. want one winch that I can swap out between the 2 trucks... Looking at the xbull units right now

[@johnle231]

@@camposvazquez Just an idea. People sell their used electric winches all over Craigslist/offerup Can find for super cheap

The sun here will burn 🔥 you feel it as soon as you step outside. People here die of heat. It recommended to cover up to keep your body cool.
