Timber Tuff TMW-48 Log Choker Cable with Ring and Probe Stake

I use this to pull fallen logs behind my pick-up. Some of the terrain is rocky/gravel. Has worked well for the last 3 years and doesn't show signs of quitting any time soon.

This item broke at the cinching point first time using it. Vendor responded quickly with a credit!

I saw some negative reviews before purchasing, decided to take a chance on it and I'm glad I did. This little dude is tough. I live on the side of a mountain, I have to either pull up cuttings with my 4 wheeler or winch them up if the pile gets too big. I have winched up some pretty big piles of juniper limbs with this choker on the end, no problem. Works great for 4 wheeler too, cinch up load and just throw the ring over a 2" ball and go. Doesn't get any easier than that. I bought another one for backup,I think maybe some of the negative reviews may have been as a result of overloading, everything has its limits. If you're choking 12" logs for long distances, you need go up in size.

Worked fine...does what it's supposed to do.

The product is good, as described. In particular, the sizing of the rings and "bent poker" are well thought out to be able to use and to hold well. No crimping issues on mine (mentioned on some other reviews). Impressive combo of strong a compact/lightweight that I can keep under my seat of the UTV and have ready whenever needed.However, I clearly received a used and returned product. Box was squashed and taped shut. Choker cable had earth on it, and the rings were dirty. No big deal - functionality unimpaired, and they got a lot dirtier after my first use yesterday! But still, if one buys new, one expects new, or suitably cleaned and refurbished that you can't tell, rather than someone's return just taped shut and sent out again.
