Makes sense as you described it, I didn't actually notice that the clamps were a bit off. Thanks for sharing this as I'm not sure if I'll be going with a chain hoist or winch from the ceiling in my new shop, one thing to be careful of if I go the cable route.
I'm having a problem keeping the two ropes "stacked" when using thin 1/16" wire rope. It seems that as I tighten the wire clip, the two wires want to lie side by side in the lower groove of the saddle. Are my 1/16" wire clips not made to spec....should the two 1/16" wires be able to lay side by side in the wire clip?
No they should stack on top each other between the saddle and clamp. Make sure your wire and clamps are both imperial. Also cheap clamps are probably not checked to closely
Been a long time since I have heard "saddling a dead horse". Very important. ...and thank you.
thanks you the comment
Thank you sir. I'm using these for the first time.

Thanks Doug, I never learned that about cable clamps, I’ve always installed one facing opposite the other!
That's how i was taught , the horse & saddle thing ! They say the cable can pull out if around the wrong way . .
Thanks Doug.
Great followup video. Sorry if i was wrong in the first video
NEVER SADDLE A DEAD HORSE good reminder which piece is the saddle !!!!
