Reply:I think you did alright. I've found the handle on the cheap ones will bend as you get close to full load on it. I have a Dayton sold by WW Grainger, I've put everything I can on it pulling "immoveable objects" and it still performs as good as the day I bought it. One tip: never, ever put a cheater on it!!! Another is don't ever drop it, the ratcheting system is delicate in that respect and won't tolerate much abuse.                    MikeOl' Stonebreaker  "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes"Hobart G-213 portableMiller 175 migMiller thunderbolt ac/dc stick Victor O/A setupMakita chop saw
Reply:I've got a Maasdam, and agree completely.I've used it to pull a Volvo with brakes completely frozen and rusted shut, anchored to an Explorer's hitch.  Dragged all four wheels over some bumps before they started to break free one at a time.Very useful to have.
