I do. It has got me unstuck many times. Takes a bit of work though.
Often have to crank it as much as it can take and then go back to the
vehicle and apply some gas or the hi-lift to gain an inch or two and
then back to the come-along and repeat. So far, I've only been stuck
once where the come-along didn't cut it.
