Re: Just to let everyone know
I'm glad you haven't had a bad experience with one, Bill. My dad had a cheap
one and the rope broke and cut his leg quite nastily. I bought him a tirfor
thing after that which was allegedly the same rating (3 ton) - very nice
piece of kit indeed to have. (and the price was several hundred bucks more
than the cheapo one that broke).
