[@gallachobaer]

Great info - As an introvert, if I ever end up building something myself I'd definitely need this haha!

This is the company that should be in quesnel british columbia. Thanks Gaius for the detailed description, once again

[@myoldusernamewastaken]

“This is great for people who like working alone or simply don’t have any friends” damn Gaius, you really just gonna call us out like that? He’s not wrong, though. 😂

Looking forward to the home building course online

[@ShelterInstitute]

Thank you! We are aiming to release it this year!

[@emkoravo]

@@ShelterInstitute wonderful!

Great overview of this tool. I have this model and it's indispensable. I would love to have the stap version for weight savings and comfort, but used ones rarely come for sale. Thanks Gh 👍

[@ShelterInstitute]

Thank you for watching!

[@olddodger7178]

$260 or $345?

[@markpinther9296]

Great explanation. Personally, the More Power Puller is a better choice simply because it comes with Dyneema not steel cables. Way safer.

[@johnswanson3741]

It's also cast iron, not aluminum. Rated at 3 tons with a single line pull. I honestly believe it would move double that if the winch rope line would hold up!

If I had to guess, I’d say the clean teeth comment was from Gaius? 😊

[@Khurr]

This would be a great tool to rig to the back of a truck

[@ShelterInstitute]

We always keep one in our tool trailer!

Is using this to apply compression to the joints, combined with planed timbers, why you don't tend to house your joints?

[@ShelterInstitute]

Hey Eric-we use the come-a-long to compress the side grain to avoid shrinkage gaps from opening up as the wood dries, but we don't use housings because we design joinery that doesn't require housings, or for the entire cross section of the timber to be supported at the ends. We avoid housings becasue they tend to unnecessarily weaken the supporting timber by removing more of it, and because the nature of housings (where an observer can easily see the intersection of the timber and the housing) tend to make shrinkage gaps very noticeable. Instead, we reduce the timber at the ends to a tenon, which is not visible after installation so no gap can be seen between the mortice and tenon.

A good Made in U.S.A. tool

[@leonardticsay8046]

So a come-along?

[@yaykruser]

See, how this device with that giant lever is only 2 tons , Yet the cheap chinese ones claim to pull 4 tons? 😂

[@johnswanson3741]

Are you questioning the Chinese? They are as trustworthy as the DNC democrats! Lol
