Buying a come along/cable puller

I'm going to buy a come along and wanted to know if Larin is a good brand. Its at tractor supply. 2 ton for 24.99

Any of you guys ever used a come along?

I have three of them that are older than I am, they still work great so I have never had to look for a new one. Sorry I can't help.

For that price though I would grab one or two.

Looks like a good one to me! I have a few myself... When I double stack cars that go to the scrap yard I use 4 of them on the top car.

We use tons of come alongs at work but ours are all chain not cable. Price wise that's right around 1/4 what we pay for our 1 1/2 tons. I have no idea how the price of chain compares to cable so take it for what it's worth.

I have used, and own several. I have used some cheesey ones, and I can't tell if that one is good or not. Nothing more aggravating than a cheap come-along that won't release.

Again I don't know anything about that one but the hooks don't look nearly as beefy as the hooks on our 1 1/2 tons, I might keep looking though. Depending on what you plan to use it for there's a whole lot that can go wrong if a come along malfunctions, might be a good time to spend a little extra.
