How to switch a steel cable winch to synthetic rope (it's really easy)

Ben with ‪@406garage3‬ got some new ‪@YankumRopes‬ synthetic winch line to replace the worn out old steel cable on the back of his rollback tow truck. So I headed over with my antique car to help him get it changed out, and to show you all how simple it really is

I love that you said to support your friends businesses because I’m tired of people asking their friends and family who start a small business for the “friends and family discount“ if you are friends and family, you should pay full price because you want to support them.

[@JoeMorrison]

Best business practice I have seen is that give the friends and family price to anyone who asks for it. The friends and family price should be 110% or 120% of the regular price. Actual friends and family either know not to ask or don't mind paying the extra.

[@technikschaf1574]

Personal question refering to Casey's 'last' point when he said he would prefer buying a "sacrificial rope" from harbour freight before accepting discount from a friend on a rope he knew he would "beat up". My opinion until now was i'd rather give my money to a friends business than to a big faceless corporation even if it's not full price (expecting he would still make profit and no loss. What would you prefer.

Twisty-windy roads all the way. I just flat out love my Mini Cooper. It's my [God willing] forever car. This year the water pump went out and that was $$$.

The get it today/tomorrow practices and the "sales" that the national chains offer are great and, at times, that may be the only way certain parts are available, but knowing that there are local guys and gals who will more than likely go above and beyond to earn you business and take care of you is a better way of supporting our communities.

[@kevinhinsdale2527]

I am glad you both talked about paying your friends to do jobs. I have been in business for over 20 years. I believe in supporting local business that my friends work for or own. There are many times we both do a freebie for each other, such as I am sure you helped Ben with the winch line. But doing an actual tow or recovery I am sure there is money exchanged. Smart business is not free! To stay in business a fair deal is what helps both parties. As I always say, a person is either an asset or a liability. I always try to be the asset.

It is good that you and Ben work on projects together and have so much fun as you work. Yes, do business with friends and pay their prices. Don't expect discounts just because you're friends. It will actually save you money in the long run because friends will protect their reputation by doing the work right. Integrity and honesty are the way to build a business.

[@mike_tango]

The extension length tip is gold.

[@EnufIsTooMuch]

While I agree with supporting your friends and family by paying them when it is their business and livelihood you are getting services from, it ain't always that simple. Such as when needing help you absolutely cannot pay for, the money doesn't exist for you. Sometimes accepting discounted or free (to you that is) help is necessary and unavoidable. Obviously Ben and Casey are in a good financial position, they can easily afford the services they get. I've been on both sides of this sort of thing, been very grateful for help received and very happy the day I could do likewise for someone in need.

I am retired and have no need or wish to be paid. And if i ate food i paid cash for it because i only work for the coffee.

[@LHW-kg9cp]

Loved Ben and you talking about supporting small business and not be asking friends in businesses (especially small businesses) to give you discounts. I'd like to add to that about tipping when out to dinner, etc. If you can afford to do out to eat you can afford to tip the staff! Sorry to criticize but Ben of 406garage really needs to replace his frayed American flag! "Dirty, ripped, wrinkled or frayed flags should not be used. Also, when flags are damaged, they should be destroyed in a dignified manner."

[@clivewilliams3661]

The idea of tipping was to show appreciation for the service that went above the norm, it should not be a subsidy for wages. If the service is not part of the cost of the meal then the restaurant is at liberty to add a service charge. maybe Ben's flag is a relic of some battle?

[@wesman7837]

We're not talking about Burger King, but if you sit down and have a waiter or waitress you damn well better tip them!

[@grahamstretch6863]

@@wesman7837 No, not if the service is substandard, (not here anyway) tipping is a way of showing appreciation for good service, going above and beyond, if you are just barely doing your damn job you don’t deserve to be tipped!

[@LHW-kg9cp]

@@clivewilliams3661 kind of right. The practice of tipping has its origins in Europe of the Middle Ages (a period which lasted from about 500 to 1,500 A.D.) when the wealthy would give people in lower classes extra money for their services. That was not for service above the norm. It was to help people survive. The national minimum wage for tipped workers is $2.13/hour. (By law, restaurants must pay servers an hourly wage of at least $7.25/hour. That means if you don't earn enough tips to average $7.25/hour during a pay period, the restaurant must increase your hourly wage). December 2020 data says average hourly wage was $29.81 so even more now. But lest say you only make $20 an hour. That's still $17.87 an hour more thant server's $2.13 / hr. It all comes down to you not tipping means your server will not make enough money to live. They depend on your tips to survive! Is this right? Of course not! But not tipping is not the solution! "Relic flags" are supposed to be flown. Ben's 50 star flag is current USA flag, so obviously not a relic.

[@clivewilliams3661]

@@LHW-kg9cp Your tipping practice only applies to US. In UK (and Europe) a tip is a gratuity. In UK the minimum wage is £11.44 (~$14.50) per hour and this has to also be set with the relative cost of living so that by comparison with US the actual minimum wage is £12.40 (~$15.60) per hour. Note that these are minimum wages and the actual wage may well be higher. I would feel aggrieved to have to pay the server's top up wages because the restaurant is too cheap to pay them a living wage. I want my gratuity to be seen as a true reflection of the service that I have received so I would rather pay above and beyond the basic, which my tip in UK ought to do. . The other point worth noting is that the server will be serving more than one table per hour so that the US restaurant can easily amortise the cost of a proper wage across several covers meaning only a small hike in the bill that I doubt the customer will notice.

Neat idea how you ran Winch rope laterally across drum. I may try that tip to solve common rock crawler suck down winch problem, only with more lateral back and forth to reduce number of total wraps on drum. ..no matter how tight I tension the first wraps on drum, when pulling down front end on climbs (winch use 90% suck-down, the rest recovery) rope sinks (crushes) in to wrap causing problems when un-spooling.

Back when I ran a tow truck, (last in mid 80s) most local companies would roll their old cable up on a car wheel, tie in place with wire. Wire would break, get to job with a ball of cable to sort before use. I took a 13 inch TIRE, put large drain holes in sidewalls and tread. Stuffed cable inside tire with a rag tied to last end in. Walk tire to vehicle needing recovered, attach end with rag, then start back to wrecker. Cable would feed out of tire. When extended, pull service line to there. Run cable thru tire so if cable breaks it can catch some recoil.
