Default Alright, I give up searching!!!

Ive been on the hunt for a "Come Along Winch" that can pull my dak out of the mud, under $100 and I came across this 5 Ton one, but ive never heard of "Arizona Tools" http://www.arizonatools.com/come-alo...detail/AZT662/

it looks good but...almost too good for $50

Yep, that looks pretty standard for a cheap hand winch. It will work but you won't have much line length after doubling it using the pully as required for max pull.

thats where a chain and alot of walking back and forth comes into play, now ive heard that you can use the pully by connecting it to the vehicle. I dont understand this. Im guessing you hook the 1st hook to my driver side tow hook, the pully to the passenger side tow hook and the other one to the ancor?

Of course you could always reverse it and have your two comealong attachment points on the anchor and a chain or cable on your truck, which ever is easier to rig due to obstructions....
