How long have you had your winch bar?

I agree. Unfortunately there's a whole lot of morons out there.

 

I've got plastic teef , easy to replace if needed. I've not lost them yet , I did leave out from home once and forgot them , had to come back .

 

I always carry 2 as if you break one you’re screwed if no one is around

 

I'm a steering wheel holder.

Chains, binders, winch bars, and throwing tarps....you could break a nail handling that stuff.

 

See, your showing just how rookie you are.

Winch bar on the binder, no exceptions




Cheater on the winch bar... Safety first n all

 

What's the point of having all these bars if I can't put them all together and break some ####.

 

The bar I use on a daily basis is pushing 20 years. The back up one I carry is probably 10 years old. And the company one is may 6 or 7. Yep, carry 3, the company one has the lever box in it, have 4 lever binders for that in case thing, Otherwise all ratchet.

 

I get it, but I'm kinda small statured and generally weak. It's just plain hard to get the binders closed.

Sometimes I'll throw a strap over the cheater and back down to the winch. Then grab my extra bar and tighten the winch down till the binder closes.

Works good till the strap slips and launches my cheater, but it don't happen often.

Always have my hard hat on for safety

 

Switch to screw style binders. If you keep them clean and lubed they’re great.
