A manual Cable Pulling Winch, often referred to as a "come-along," is a versatile hand-operated tool used for applying a strong, controlled pulling force. Its primary purpose is for smaller-scale cable pulling and tensioning jobs where a large, powered machine is impractical or unnecessary. Common applications include:

• Conduit Pulling: Pulling wires and cables through conduits for residential or light commercial projects.

• Utility Work: Tensioning guy wires on utility poles or pulling conductors over short spans.

• General Construction: Moving and positioning heavy equipment or materials on a job site.

Despite being a simple tool, its controlled force and portability make it a crucial part of any professional's toolkit.
