[TowerTalk] Come-a-long recommendation

[Terry Gerdes]

I have several in the truck and depending on the work pick the appropriate 
one:

The good one is used for most lifting jobs.

The cheap ones ($9.95 Harbor Freight specials) are used when I have to leave 
a come-a-long on the tower for a while. They tend to get replaced every 
couple of years.  Example:  It was recently used to secure a swing arm to 
the tower after the rotor was pulled for repair.  By the time the rotor was 
replaced, we had several rains and the come-a-along was showing signs of 
rust.

I have a light-weight one that I replaced the steel cable with rope.  Its 
light weight easy to handle and perfect for small pulls on the tower.
