    I lost my winch at the bar 28 years ago. Best day of my life.

    Ya’ll put a bar on binders? We always use a 3 ft. long heavy wall pipe that slips over the binder handle. We still have all our teeth and the pipe that goes on our main trailer is probably older then me. Sorta rusty and has US Steel stamped on it. With pipe you can pull from all angles without slippage

    That's an easy way to bend the handle. They're made like i-beams so they bend sideways.

    I bought this bar a little over a year ago. I prefer the extra length that the funky end gives me, all the bars that my boss has are shorter. This picture was sent to me from the job site in NJ after I texted the foreman asking him if I left my bar down there…didn’t go back to that site for a few months…but now I have 2 bars like this… IMG_3093.jpeg
     
    CAXPT, cke and Diesel Dave Thank this.

    I had this old bar that I’d had for years that the weld cracked and finally broke. Welded it up, and it lasted about a year, till it broke again in the same fashion.
