I have several in the truck and depending on the work pick the appropriate
one:
The good one is used for most lifting jobs.
The cheap ones ($9.95 Harbor Freight specials) are used when I have to leave
a come-a-long on the tower for a while. They tend to get replaced every
couple of years. Example: It was recently used to secure a swing arm to
the tower after the rotor was pulled for repair. By the time the rotor was
replaced, we had several rains and the come-a-along was showing signs of
rust.
I have a light-weight one that I replaced the steel cable with rope. Its
light weight easy to handle and perfect for small pulls on the tower.
