Not much tower work anymore, but lot's of other uses for Massdam products

They are well made. The rope pull (needs the correct rope) has infinite
pull length, pretty handy for loading my tilt trailer. Nice for tram
lines. The webbing puller might have the least "two blocked" length, ie
all the way tight length which is pretty handy for rotator work.
One of my most useful and borrowed rigs is two double ball bearing
sailing blocks (one with becket) with 250ft of 7/16" low stretch line.
(New England Ropes StaSet).

Well since it is almost cold enough to start thinking of doing some
antenna/tower work, I was hoping to canvass the group for recommendations or
suggestions on come-along products that have been proven as safe/reliable
and easy to use. Main uses here are for lifting loaded masts (500lb 240 kg)
in and out of a rotator or tensioning tram lines. My old cheap unit fell
apart on me after only a handful of uses. Not looking for heavy duty
commercial units, but something a ham can have available for occasional use
that is safe and reliable.
