My favorite come-along is the Lug-All:

(I didn't get mine from that vendor -- just a convenient Google result. Don't
recall where I got mine.)
It's expensive, but the build quality is excellent. I use inexpensive
hardware-store come-alongs for non-critical work like tensioning guys. But
where safety may be an issue, like hoisting antennas, tensioning antenna tram
lines or raising masts, I go with the Lug-All.

Planning some tower work that may involve lifting a loaded mast a few
inches. Does the group have a preferred model or models for this type of
device? My tummy tells me the 4 or 5 ton models by Neiko found
frequently on Ebay would be too risky for this type of work.
Looking for something with double ratchet, at least two hooks and with a
cable at least 3.4m (10') long would seem minimum specs. What do
thetower experts say and use?
