WARN 885000 PullzAll Corded 120V AC Portable Electric Winch with Steel Cable: 1/2 Ton (1,000 Lb) Pulling Capacity , Red

I've had the orange PullzAll for years and it's been a great product; however, I ordered two of these Red ones for my shop and they were both poorly made and failed after the first use. br>br>As soon as you open the package, you'll notice that it's not as well-built as previous models. The direction and trigger switches in the handle are sloppy and flop around. The most recent one I received went in and out in the opposite direction of the direction arrow button, requiring the cable to be fully extended to correct, and it appears to struggle even under 1/4 loads in operation. Electronically, both red units failed the first time they were used. After 30-minutes, the last one came to a halt. A 125 pound load was suspended in the air after 40 seconds of operation with a burning odor. VERY DANGEROUS! br>br>It's a shame that businesses treat their products in this manner. This was an excellent purchase and a very useful winch for us ten years ago. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to tell you to stay away from this.

The name Warn appealed to me, so I purchased it. I'm a mechanical contractor, and I needed a hoist to get boiler sections out of a boiler room that were too heavy to carry up the stairs. The sections ranged in size from 300 to 1,000 people. Each pound is 500 pounds. I put them on a dolly and dragged them up the stairs. I'm aware that a cool-down period is required, but I didn't have the time to do so. So I told my guys to go as fast as they possibly could. IT DID EXACTLY WHAT I HAD EXPECTED. The unit, however, went out the following week while the new boilers were being installed. So I took it apart and discovered that one of the motor brushes had come loose. I reinstalled it and used epoxy to repair it permanently, and the unit now works perfectly. The stars were lost due to a lack of quality control. I would have given it five stars if this wasn't a problem. The unit's interior appears to be well constructed, and I'm hoping Warn will thank me for doing real-world R&D. They have a D on their unit. Please do not send me any cards; instead, send me a new hoist (this time one that is battery operated). 👌😏.

This helped me get a 600-pound Tracker Grizzly 14-foot boat out of the water and onto the grass. It was done without complaint by the unit, but I have a major problem with it: THERE IS NO REMOTE. br>br>WHEN THAT CORD BREAKS OR SOMETHING FLYS AWAY, YOU WILL BE HIT. There is NO REASON WHY they didn't include or at least offer a remote control when your face and body are literally in the firing line. br>br>I recommend using this as a hoist or for very light pulls. It's a death trap if you don't use it.

I'm using this tool to move trees that were burned along with our house in a wildfire, and after two days of use, I heard a snap inside and it wouldn't pull any longer. When I opened the case, I discovered a cracked chassis, one loose bolt, and two bolts inside the case. br>br>It's a useful tool, but the assembly quality is lacking.

So far, I'm not a fan. I was expecting something more substantial, but it's all made of plastic. After reading the manual, I discovered that after using it for one minute, you must wait 30 minutes before using it again. (Probably to keep the plastic from melting. ) ) With a load rating of 1000, I'm not sure I have the confidence to test whether it can actually lift that. I'll be back, and I'm going to Harbor Freight to get a cheaper metal, higher-rated winch.

I'm on my third load, but it says it can handle 1,000 pounds. Within an hour of use, smoke emerged from the motor and cabling system. br>On our horse rescue farm, we wanted to warm up this much-needed new device. br>As a result, we only loaded about a third of the advertised maximum weight of 1,000 pounds. br>Wow, we're on our third lift of 60 pound hay bales, each weighing 60 pounds or 180 pounds. The engine began to smoke. br>We were not risking fire in our barn, which we had just built by hand, as professional contractors, house builders, and renovators!br>Turned it off, and now Warn is refusing to help with the return. I was reassigned to a supervisor who was on vacation at the time. br>To summarize, this is Chinese junk, and the troubleshooter team was made up of millennials who didn't listen to us and passed us off. As a former consumer reporter for a network, I'm planning to go "Sarah Palin" on Twitter and Facebook about the whole thing. We run a rescue and work 75-hour weeks, so we don't have time or money to fix equipment that isn't working properly.
Wow. The Big Kahuna simply sucks. We're warning you not to trust this WARN product; otherwise, we might have gotten a lemon! br>In any case, the company was unhelpful, despite their warranty and AMAZON's offer of THEIR phone number in the event of a problem.

I needed to move a 1500-pound shed, and it performed admirably. Yes, I realize that rating is higher than this small guy's. The shed, on the other hand, would be on "rollers" and would be situated on a relatively smooth surface. So, minus the brute force of me pushing, my requirement was 1500 pounds. So, rather than fully pulling the weight, more of a nudge or tug in the right direction. It was a success.
. What is the reason for the reduction in price? Because I decided to spool out the cable before I started, and the cable had three kinks. It looked as if it had been rolled up incorrectly and the cables had been "bent. " It doesn't appear that it has had any effect on operations. but WTF. There's yet another reason for a decrease in the number of ticks. While I was familiar with the operation of a load limiter and appreciated the LED load indicator, The device shut down (but no Red LED) while I was respooling the cable (with no load), and I had to power cycle it and wait about 15 minutes for it to restart. After that, everything was fine. I, on the other hand, thought I'd toasted the device. I'm not sure what was wrong, but it got the job done - It's just that it could be a sign of things to come. or I've had a run of good luck for the day.

fencesandwelding. com is a website dedicated to all things related to fencing and welding com. This is probably the most useful item I own. This thing is like having a crew of guys stashed for whenever I need them for someone who doesn't use employees. br>br>For metal fabrication, the variable speed in both directions is critical, because sometimes I just need to move something an eighth of an inch further, and this will do it! br>br>In addition, the limit switch will stop the motor at 1000 pounds of stress, which is critical for preventing motor damage or ensuring that a cable does not become tangled. br>br>I use it for a variety of purposes, as evidenced by my website, www. fencesandwelding. com is a website dedicated to all things related to fencing and welding com.
