    Ramsey vs Dynamic winch for Bandit 12xp

    It is very slow. But it's faster than me. I personally haven't run into a heat issue yet, but I'm definitely constantly aware that I'm probably approaching a use ceiling / failure point at some point. Strain on the truck frame, battery, alternator, parking brake, controller, winch motor.... So...

    Ramsey vs Dynamic winch for Bandit 12xp

    I have one in the bumper of my truck that I've been using pretty heavily for the last 6 months. It's a bit slower than a hydraulic, but it pulls extremely hard - much harder than any gas capstan I've used. It'll surely have a shorter lifespan than a hydraulic unit, but for 250 bucks? Pretty hard...

    Hedge trimmer recommendations

    Hedge trimmer recommendations

    I need to buy a pair a set of hedge trimmers for some upcoming jobs. I don't plan on doing a lot of hedge work, but not none either, and if I'm going to do it I want it to be as comfortable as is reasonable, but I'm not made of money. No strong preference of battery or ICE. I've used: - Cheap...

    DownRigger, Rigging Wrench (or Scarab, or....)??

    I've been using a homemade rigging wrench a bit lately made from a pinto rig, regular rope wrench and soft shackle. With 1/2" stable braid it requires a pretty large piece to run smoothly. Bigger than most tops I would want to negative rig, but nice for large branches and small logs. Takes quite...

    A solo negative rigging workflow

    Does a Morgan block produce enough friction that you could be anywhere near mbs when running it by hand? I haven't used one very much, but my assumption is that the hand is the weak point in the system.
