[TowerTalk] multi-sheave pulley

[Patrick Greenlee]

I bought a hand held (about the size/weight of a good skill saw) winch.  
It runs on 120VAC and has 1000 lb pulling capacity.  Comes with hooks on 
both ends, one to hold the winch and one on the end of the 25 ft cable.  
It has a trigger switch like a skill saw and will power in and power 
out. If you overload it the breaker pops up and you have to wait a tad 
for it to cool off then push the breaker button and go again.  I got 
mine at Northern Tool but they are available lots of places.
