I've looked at these off and on. Have several cable come-a-longs and a
larger winch good for a couple tons. But they all use cables which have
their stretchy drawbacks...

Have you been able to determine if some of the more affordable versions
are built well enough by now? The reviews for the HF models aren't good
enough in my opinion. The high end models are a bit more than I'd
like to spend with no particular use in mind, other than a future
problem solver. The 1 to 2 ton range would be the likely candidates.

Just some names to watch for deals on both new and used for when
