Corded PullzAll 120V AC

I am an artist specializing in production and large scale set design and often work with moderate to heavy steel and wood. I purchased this winch in order to assist me with various projects In my shop and with instillations for my clients. I recently had a project that required a dead hang lift of three cedar beams with a combined weight of 425 pounds and used the WARN 885000 winch to lift them 12' in the air, no problem for this winch. I did take it slow and didn't press the up button all the way (the one time I tried to speed it up it stopped, waited 10 seconds and it was lifting again, slow and steady wins the race. I like how the winch was constructed and the internal lifting cable was nice and stout. I gave it a 5 star rating, but wished this winch had a remote or even a corded controller so that I could be on the ground when lifting objects when applicable. Would also like to see WARN develop a battery powered winch at that size as well. All in all, great price point, well-built construction, and super light to move around from project to project.

I got my money's worth out of the PullzAll winch building a railroad tie retaining wall by myself. I am 76 years old, and I could not move the railroad ties by myself. The area where the retaining wall went was beside the field lines for the septic tank, and I didn't want to damage them by renting equipment to move them, so the winch did all the work. It was slow work, but I wasn't in a hurry, and it turned out great.

This worked out perfect for standing up a pepper tree that blew over in the Santa Ana winds. The stakes broke and it was a tough spot to get a utv with a winch down here. This made it easy all by myself. I would definitely recommend this.

I bought an open box model of this and the cable was cross wound and had a flat spot, but have since used it many times with loads at or beyond it's capacity with no problems. One of the first times it actually overheated/overloaded and the thermal switch shut it down. I'm glad it has this feature otherwise it may have been ruined. It hasn't happened since as I pay attention to the light that comes on near overload conditions. After this happened, I was careful to follow the recommended practice of running it under load for a few minutes and then letting it cool for 30 minutes. But this of course just isn't practical and I soon was using it with only maybe 5 or 10 minute breaks to unspool and reset pulley system. I've used it by pulling and then unspooling under power and pulling again repeatedly with no problems, though the loads weren't at full capacity. You can tell when it is really straining and getting very hot. But it has adequate time to cool while you reset the cable in most instances. I used this to skid very large, very long, and very heavy logs up a steep slope, often with knobs plowing through the ground along the way, either directly or with a 5:1 pulley system. It handled it all, including pulling over a very large uprooted stump. Downside is that the length of the cable is relatively short, which means that when working alone, it requires you to manually unspool it often. The hassle of this is that it needs to unspool under tension, so that you have to hold the winch and press the button with one hand while holding the cable under tension with the other, and you can only unspool maybe 3 ft of cable before having to stop and reposition your hand to pull out another length of cable. This is tedious and gets tiring. Ideally, you could anchor the hook on the end of the cable and unspool under tension as you walk the winch away from the anchor, but this isn't always possible. As I said, I've used this under extreme loads several times. It's developed a good flat spot near the end of the cable attached to the winch as it crosses over itself, and a few wires sticking out, but that's about the extent of the damage to the cable, which isn't too bad considering. The flat spot seems to hold adequately and it's location doesn't put it under strain except in the first foot or so of the pull. As others note, this does pull fairly slowly, especially when I used a pulley system, but the slower speed lends itself to safety as you can't get in to big a hurry and it allows you to monitor your load better. Also the hook on the end of the cable needs to be checked to be sure it's seated properly on the loop in the cable before applying load. I found that it can get crooked and pull in a way it's not designed for. I also caution to keep an eye on the cable as it enters the winch when you get near the end of a pull. Twice I was watching the load instead and accidentally pulled the cable too far into the winch and messed up the rubber boot over the wire clamp that creates the loop connection to the hook. (easy to patch with duct tape, but it risks messing up the wire and clamped area.) It's easy to do if you don't pay attention. It seems all but impossible to keep the wire spooling onto the drum in a very neat and tight manner, especially when its spooled all the way out and for the first couple feet of pull. After it cross wraps a couple times, you're able to get it to wind more neatly back and forth. It may be more difficult in my case because the winch came with the cable cross wrapped likely from previous use. Overall it's a very handy and indispensable tool for pulling heavy loads. I haven't used it for lifting, and I don't think it's intended for that purpose. I'm sure there are many other uses beyond just pulling heavy loads, such as tensioning fence, pulling vehicles onto trailers, etc. I am considering using it with a pulley system to help pull a tree down against the lean as well, though its slow speed might make that a bit difficult. But I can certainly put a big load on the tree to get it started in the right direction. The only limitation of this winch is finding available anchors. I'm limited to a couple stumps and a couple trees that are somewhat in line with where I need to haul the logs. I looked into some sort of anchors that you could position and drive into the ground, but think any that could withstand the large load would likely be too expensive. I think this would pull any but the largest auger type anchors out of normal ground. Go slow when first using this, and get to know it with smaller loads first.

Great little winch. Super convenient to have when you need it. I’ve used it to pull several full size cars up onto trailers. It’s easy to set up and pulls pretty quick. It has a breaker that can be reset if you get too crazy.

I purchased this about 6 months ago from Amazon. Didn't want to review it immediately after receiving it. Instead, I wanted to submit a review after 4-5 months of use. I really like this tool! It has good power for its size. It is portable. It pulls slow and steady with fingertip control, which I like. It is rated for a max pull of 1,000. I used it to pull an 8x10 shed about 150 feet to a new location. I estimated its weight to be about 5,000 pounds. It was a level pull and I used rollers. Worked like a champ. Don't rush it or you could overheat the motor. I have also used it for a variety of other tasks with good success. I recommend that you consider this. I would buy it again.

Purchased this Wench for a specific job, moving some large/heavy pieces of lumber about 150 feet. No one was available in my sphere of friends/neighbors, (Would have needed 6-8). After calling a rental place and being scoffed at for such a silly request (an electric come-along) I found it on Amazon and got the job done with very little effort! For what a rental might have cost, the job is done, and now have a nice addition to war-chest of tools!

This product has so far worked very well. Pulled a large tree trunk across the yard, with some cut branches as rollers. Very easy to use combined with a tree strap and some heavy duty carabiners. Pulled our some saplings, used it with cables and snatch blocks just to see how it works. Be careful on getting to close to the end of the cable pulling into the case. The puller still runs a little after releasing the trigger. Other than that it's been great!

Tough and doesn't trip my breaker. Very handy around the yard. The spools was kinked out of box. Probably change out for braided rope. Would be better if the line was longer however I realize the impact pulling power

trabajan excelente muy buen producto, funcionande maravilla

bien

Did exactly what it said on the tin, plenty of power. , good bit of kit, I would contemplate the 240v if it was not being used on site.

Buen producto
