I need one in the 4000-8000 pound range because mine is worn out and it never worked well anyways. Built fence with it yesterday and I had my fill. [Reply]   [No Email]

Still have one of the ones bought in mid 70s. Have 5 or 6 been used and abused. Pulled stuck truck out,loaded all kinds of junk,tied down loads,used as chains, streched fence, other things that were not meant to be used for. [Reply]  [No Email]

I just looked at a new tool from Milwaukee Electric and it had a "Made in China" sticker on it. I'll bet it's not the same quality as my old Milwaukee drill. [Reply]  [No Email]

They even have the same part numbers on their current products. I don't know about any contract issues but it's entirely possible given the verbage on the Lincoln website. I have never had my hands on a Lug-All but I've seen the Wyeth pullers "in person" and they are impressive - and heavy! Every piece of Coffing lifting gear I have ever seen was top of the line. I wish you a long and prosperous life but I suspect any/all of them will outlive you. TOH [Reply]  [No Email]

I am willing to pay for a puller that will last me 30 years. Or is there not a dimes worth of difference--except the dimes. I am also willing to use a puller whose cabling does not gouge me and make me bleed like a stuck pig. Twice. Yes, the old one was from overseas. [Reply]  [No Email]

I rarely use it for dead lifting. If I got into overhauling motors I would get a chain hoist, those work real well. [Reply]  [No Email]

Or are they all about the same. I need one in the 4000-8000 pound range because mine is worn out and it never worked well anyways. Built fence with it yesterday and I had my fill. To get to 4T on a double line puller you would need 1/2" cable. I think that is outside the range of most simple come-alongs. That said Coffing hoists are well regarded and they make a 1T/2T puller - model number C404WNB (9/32 cable). Probably set you back the better part of $300. Also might want to look at these pullers from Wyeth-Scott - they are a bit less expensive: Wyeth-Scott Pullers. Another high quality puller is Lug-All but they are even pricier: Lug-All Cable Pullers TOH This post was edited by TheOldHokie at 07:45:25 01/20/13 3 times. [Reply]  [No Email]
