Come Along Tool(78)

A come-along is a manual pulling tool that helps move, position, or tension heavy items with control. It’s handy when you need portable pulling power without electricity.

• Vehicle recovery: Help free a stuck vehicle or trailer.
• Hauling and positioning: Shift equipment, machinery, or materials into place.
• Fencing and wire work: Tension fence lines or cables.
• Outdoor projects: Move logs or small boats during transport.
• General rigging: Create steady, incremental pulls where precision matters.

On this page, you’ll see models with different pulling capacities (from under 1 ton up to 5 tons), cable or rope lengths, and 2–3 hooks. Choosing a capacity that aligns with your task and following the product’s instructions can support safer, more effective use.

In everyday use, “come-along” is the casual name. You’ll also see several proper terms across product listings, depending on the mechanism.

• Hand cable puller or ratchet power puller: Manual tools that use a steel cable and a ratcheting handle.
• Come-along winch: A retail-friendly label for manual cable pullers in this category.
• Lever chain hoist (also called a lever block): A related manual tool that uses a chain and lever to lift or pull.

If you’re comparing options, check the listing details for terms like “pulling capacity,” “line length,” “hooks,” and “dual gears.” Those specs can help you match the exact style to your task.

Both move loads with a line, but they’re used a bit differently.

• Come-along: A manual, ratcheting puller that’s highly portable. Many have steel cable, 2–3 hooks, dual gears, and shorter line lengths (often around 7–12 ft), which can be helpful for controlled, incremental pulling.
• Winch (general): A broader term that can include manual or powered units. Powered versions (not shown across this page) typically offer longer lines and continuous spooling for repeated pulls.

For quick, on-the-go pulls and precise positioning, a come-along can be practical. If you need longer line reach or powered operation, exploring winch options beyond manual pullers may be worthwhile.

Prices vary based on features, so it can help to compare the details rather than focus on a single number.

• Pulling capacity: Options range from under 1 ton to 5 tons.
• Line type and length: Steel cable models often list 7–12 ft; some rope pullers offer longer lines.
• Hardware: Number of hooks (2 or 3), 360° rotating hooks, and latch styles.
• Gearing and brakes: Dual gears or double‑pawl brakes on certain models.
• Construction: Frame materials and corrosion resistance.

To see current pricing, sort and filter by capacity, line length, or features on Walmart.com. Checking ratings, reviews, and any savings flags (like Rollbacks) can also help you find a good fit for your budget.

You’ll find all three in this category, each with different advantages.

• Steel cable pullers: Common for general pulling and recovery; many list 7–12 ft cables and 2–3 hooks.
• Rope pullers: Use synthetic rope for lighter carry and longer reach; some list lines up to 100 ft.
• Lever chain hoists: Use chain with a lever for lifting or tensioning when the product is rated for that purpose (often shown with a specific lift height, like 10 ft).

Consider the task, desired line length, and capacity. For horizontal pulls and tensioning, cable or rope can be convenient. For rated lifting or rugged industrial use, a lever chain hoist may be more suitable. Always follow the product’s instructions.
