Thank you, be safe, and be grateful.
My father was a Pipe fitter/ Welder/ Fabricator. we had many of these and he made one I`d say..5 times heavier maybe more I remember it used recovery cable from an old Tow truck. he made the frame sprockets everything. We called it the Cometh Here.
Steve Redenbaugh I
LOL
Now that's a tool u could probably pull a dump truck out a mud hole with!
That's badass
Cool story bro
It's called a "Come along," which is short for "I already asked nicely, now you're gonna come along whether you like it or not."
Exactly !!
Hilarious
"And I don't have a chain winch/hoist." (I don't know when or why this became a distinction, but linear chain pulls are winches, vertical mounts are hoists, and they're just come alongs with more steps.)
Sounds like rape 😂
@@doinjusfine1 I very always wondered why it's called that.
Very helpful. This country needs more people like you. Skilled people.
You sir remind me of when I was young being taught by my father r.i.p. thats the biggest compliment I can give . thanks for your time and video.
This whole channel is gold!
"Give me a lever long enough, and a fulcrum in which to place it, and I shall move the world." - Archimedes
Holds true to our demonstration here. Very nice.
This is about as good as a demo video can get. Hollywood couldn't have done it better.
Thank you so much for this video. My father never took the time to show me how to use certain things, one being a come-along, because I’m a female and those are man things to know!
My grandfather loved showing me how to use all different types of tools and gadgets he had, but the opportunity to use a come along never presented itself while he was alive. He and I were extremely close, and it was my wife and I who took care of him the last two months he of his life. He passed 4 and a half months ago.
Sorry about getting so personal, but I want you to know just how much your simple video helped me today. As silly as it may sound, your video made me feel like I made my grandpa proud today.
I didn't have a dad so I really understand. I had a career as a structural aircraft mechanic. And learned something everyday. Women are good at whatever they have a passion for and thankfully things are changing enough finally that opportunities are available for woman. But we will probably be playing catch up for generations.
Thanks for sharing your story, and yes your grandpa is beaming with pride. 😊
@@ruidadgmailcanada8508 you don’t understand how much I needed to hear this today. Thank you!!
@@jillyoung4479Scott is everyone’s internet-dad. 😊
He is patient, thorough and the wisdom that comes from real-world experience.
Good on you for being eager and willing to learn.
Anyone can do anything with perseverance and a great teacher.
Good video! Also never a bad idea to throw something over the cable in case it breaks.... floor mat, jacket, blanket, etc. This will slow down the chain or cable to reduce possible injury. Stay safe!
That is an awesome idea!!!
I will remember that the next time I brave using this tool! Thanks!
Look on eBay, for a winch (line) blanket.
Brilliant

Scott,
These are the kind of educational videos that everyone needs to see.
I remember your video that caught my attention was the 2x4 Jack, it was something new to me.
And boy, am I glad to have found you.
Cheers.
Sure enough, after using these for years, I learned something new!
I think it's so important to show and explain to especially the young people who watch this. Not only how tools can work for you. But the dangers associated with them. Forms of winches and come-alongs have been used for centuries as far back as the pyramids . Work hard , work smart and always engage your brain , starting it . Before starting any project .
.
I'm so grateful to you for this video. For those of us that grew up with no one to expose us to tools or teach us how to use them videos like this are so helpful.
Amen amen. This particular tool teaches physics most importantly, unlike most.
This guy's a natural! Excellent, well-articulated demo.
Haha you had my laughing in the first 5 second “I don’t exactly know all the terms so I’m going to make some of this up.”
For the record I did find it useful and I appreciate the honesty.
Surely 'come along' is a made up name ? It's one more name for contraptions that do this kind of thing. 'Sylvester and chain' being one, "Tirfor" being another.
ES has what they call epistemological honesty - a great characteristic.
@@millomweb anybody who works in industry/construction/trades knows there's like 100 made up names you need to learn. all names at the end of the day were made up by somebody, If it's what the people that use it refer to it as I think that's good enough for me.
@@TheAnit500 "design names are from manufacturers. 'Made up' names are not.
I was wondering can to tell me the made up stuff and what is not?
Great video! Love them! Thanks for continuing to get us these even though you're busy with your house build!
Rigging is becoming a lost art, more videos please
You are so right about a come-a-long they make things move but, they can bite you so fast you are bleeding before you know it lol. Good advice Scott.
Scruffy 61 Similarly a jack-all--very useful but demands a healthy fear in order to operate "safely".
Daniel Baer did they use a similar system in raising old ship sails? I remember seeing something like this on a big old ship. Except it was ropes and the pulleys were made from different materials.
Shona O'Neill they used what is called block&tackle back then the same principal the block is made of wood with metal hardware. Google block and tackle that will give you a better idea of how they work.
Thank you for the time your spending teaching what you know. I've watched about an hour or your videos this far. I've learned more skills applicable to the real world than my first year of college already.
Great video. Thanks for your sharing.
Thank you Scott! Very clear explanation. I had forgotten about the ability to release tension one notch at a time by simply reversing the spring and running that pawl up against the other pawl. Very handy when you don't have two hands free to do it the other way.
Great video as always. I’ve been involved with technical rescue for about 15 years out of my 20 fire service career. Mechanical advantage is hard to teach sometimes. The easiest way I can tell someone is that if the pully is moving towards the anchor, like your video, you have mechanical advantage. If it’s not moving, all you have is a change of direction. Keep up the good work!
Love your channel.24yrs Union Ironworker in Los Angeles.Use come alongs and chain falls daily.Once jacked up a 5 story building using only an wedge and a 8lb beater(sledgehammer)😀💪🤝
you beat the wedge in?
I love how clear and detailed you are in this video. Thank you for the quality clip!
Ha! Right on time. I had to explain why I had my son using a come along to my wife just last night. She felt it was too dangerous for him to be using at his age. I had to explain, once again, that I'm growing a man. And boys do not become men just by getting older.
"Growing a man." An old-fashioned way to look at it, which we need a lot more of in this 21st Century. Hope your son appreciates fully!
Nor do girls become women just by ageing.
Can your u be my father
Good work sir. Carry on.
And boys do not become men by receiving a catastrophic head injury which leaves them with a mental age of four. I do agree though that kids should be taught how to use tools safely, and not to be afraid of them. Perhaps a child may not have the strength required for safe use, but if they've been taught to keep fingers and head away from danger then why not?
Fantastic, clear explanation. Some grandkid is super darn lucky.
Never to old to learn !!! Thank you all !!! Be safe and God bless you all !!!!! Eddy
Been using come alongs for more than half a century. Your advice about how dangerous it is to use any such tool that multiplies your mechanical advantage is well worth following. Thank you for producing this video, and I look forward to viewing any future videos you make regarding how to work safely with large loads.
You’re a gifted communicator.
Mechanical advantage is a beautiful thing. Thanks for this video!
An excellent demonstration. I learned something and enjoyed it. Thank you for this!
I'm just never disappointed by this channel, thanks for what you do Mr Craftsman. The world is running out of people like you!
That was a great how to video.Thank you for your time.
I swear this is the best "how to" content on the internet. Thanks for the great, helpful and thoughtful videos, Essential Craftsman.
Thanks so much for this. I always saw my grandpa using this device and I ended up with it. I found a good use in the back yard and was so happy to find your “course” on come along operation. 😀
Very useful. Good to watch.
Look forward very much to block and tackle, and related things.
Thank you, Sir.
Thanks. Always a pleasure. I have no doubt that some of your videos will save a life or prevent an injury. That's something to be proud of.
I really thankful for your advice,you give us more advice and learning👍
Been "watching" your videos while doing some wood burning and listening to it in the background. Perfect way to raise my tool and worksite knowledge while I start out in the industry. Thanks.
While it didn't teach me anything I didn't know it was a damn good refresher. Thanks, I look forward to more videos on winches and pulleys - which I don't know a lot about. If possible could you do a video on rigging as well?
I have had one of these for many, many years and you taught me two new things. Thank you.
Thank you for making these incredible and passionate videos. They have great thought and production and the knowledge and passion you have for the art of craftsmanship is truly inspiring!
I supervise a small shop in which I have inherited many tools (of which I am pretty clueless about) and responsibilities; your wisdom has given me many teaching methods, skills, and knowledge that I use everyday, and that I would not have without your videos. Thank You!
Handy tool to have in the tool box of one's truck! Simple video with simple instructions and explanation. This channel produces only the best!
Thank you. I've used a come along a couple of times and have wanted to know more about them and how I can use them more effectively. I'm looking forward to this as I do all your videos.
That’s killer. There are a lot of videos on how to use tools and how the tools work, but they often leave out how they might fail under certain circumstances. Definitely interested in the whole spectrum of how to properly use tools and the mechanical advantages they can provide, such your example, but also their limits and common improper uses that you might know of. Thanks! Good stuff here. 👍
Excellent, well thought out informative video. Thank you so much!
I always sling a spare nylon sling on both ends of the pully system. If something fails (what you absolutely do not want) the wraps around the cables will take some speed out of the swinging cable. It mite just be the bit you need to react!
You are an open book...thanks for sharing your knowledge
Love the wisdom! With this type of equipment you usually don’t get to “try it again” if you have a catastrophic failure. I think each and every “DIYer” needs to heed your advice. Thank you sir!
Simplicity is good. Thanks for sharing.
Goes right along with your work hard/work smart video. My father used to say,"It is good to work hard, better to work smart, but to do both will get a lot of work done". Love your channel!
great demonstration.....helped me a lot.
Great video good job. I like how you don't waste time showing us how to use the come along I was in a hurry and wasn't sure how to release the load with a lot of weight still on the cable. Your video was the first one I watched it was perfect. Thank you for your time and energy.
Many thanks Scott and Nate!
Really liked the video. Great explanation and safety mention.
Those soft bolts replacing the pins that come with this unit are force multipliers for an accident. Not to mention the safety latches being sprung out of the hooks.
You explained it all very well.
Don't forget the main statement in this video. "Never disengage the brain" We love what you do Scott , keep em coming
Thanks. I learned a lot. Great video and you are easy to understand.
I'm a new widow. My husband handled a lot of the problems around our 27 acres. I currently have my little tractor stuck, and am looking for instructions on using a come along to help get unstuck. I appreciate your content.
I like all your videos I watch them all I wish you do more blacksmithing that’s what I really like
Really useful and very clear. Thank you
I'm a long-time student, you are a great teacher thanks for sharing your knowledge and wisdom on many subjects.
Thank you very much sir. I had both my tractor and my truck stuck in 2ft deep mud FOR DAYS, in a spot that a tow would not be able to get to, and no neighbours were willing to help pull them out. I honestly didn't have a lot of hope. I used 3 come along winches to get both vehicles out of the mud. It was a very slow process, first focusing on the tractor, and then the truck. Tractor was very easy, truck was a pain to get out. But these tools got them out. Have faith in the process, take it slowly and safely, and you will succeed. As a young man just starting out, I had never used these tools before, and this video really helped me understand the mechanics and to have belief in the power of the human mind. Thank you sir.
Just sat through a 6 minute video detailing what I do every weekend. That's good presentation.
Thank you for the education on Come Alongs!
Valuable information for some who don’t know how to use them! And there are many!
Excellent video, thank you.
Killed it on the very useful information.....thank you
Great video. Thank you again.
Excellent as always.
I am so glad that I watched your video. I had a come along that I could not figure out how to release the cable. After watching this I had a real aha moment thank you.
I learn something new everyday, thank u EC.
Thanks so much. I learned a lot of useful info from your video.
Always enjoy your content they are never boring and always educational
Loved the video, my 3 year old son liked it too!
thank you so much, i want to go off-roading in the winter and i learned a lot and you have helped me save thousands by just checking out this winch instead of going electric and having to fully modify my vehicle.
Check out the Wyeth Scott power puller. Seems to be a better fit for offroaders.
GREAT vid.
I LOVED IT.
I Learnt a LOT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
VERY Much APPRECIATED.
Perfect instruction! Thanx
Very informative. Thanks for sharing.
Very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks, I've used a come along many times - and always have a heck of a time releasing it! I guess not often enough to get good at it. This demonstration should help.
Very good explanation!
Awesome video guys!
Had to have one in any truck I drove through the years, and put them to good use many times !
You just have to keep in mind the limitations of the devices and use accordingly !
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
Mechanical advantage is amazing. Good job.
Great video, you didn't mention, but showed at the end, when you wind up the come along, it's best to have a little bit of tension on the cable to keep it spooling correctly.
Love the vids!! It feels like Christmas every time I get a notification!!!!
Great video..... and timing!!! I just bought my first come along for an upcoming project....... so this video was perfect.
Great video, i really enjoy watching your videos and you have a great patience about you i admire. Keep them coming, i would be proud to share these with my children someday!
Been using these for years. Very handy to keep in my trucks toolbox. I would also be interested in a video on rigging. Thanks for posting.
Very good, very clear explanation of use of a come-along. Kudos
Thank you for your help, I build manufactured mobile homes in Arizona. A come along is huge tool for me. Thank you for helping me pull more weight with less pull.
Great video. Efficient processes are great to see in action.
thank you for yet another great video.
Thank you. I had an issue.... needed to use this thingamajig solo...... your video came to my rescue!
Another great tool video, Scott. Looking forward to the next one!
Love your videos. Thanks.
From Argentina! I really appreciate your videos they’re very helpfull!
Thank you for sharing
Thanks! I never knew about the double purchase! I get it now. And I understand the increased power you get with the double Purchase. Thanks again!
