I couldn't agree more with Rob.
Those hardware store cable pullers are an accident waiting to happen.
BE SAFE and leave them on the ground!

We don't use those $9.99 cable pullers you get at Ace hardware.
Pawl-type cable pullers are NOT meant for any type of lifting. They are for
pulling only. Pawl-type cable pullers should never be used in a situation
where their failure will cause a life or safety hazard. Just as we use
proper gin poles and proper bolts and proper guy wire for our towers, we
should use proper pullers. Here are some suggestions.
