A while back I bought a Rugged Ridge winch pull at a yard sale and used it for many years. The last time I used it I managed to leave it laying on the ground and didn't pick it up after I connected the winch hook to the tree saver to pull myself out of a mud puddle that I managed to get high centered in. I decided to see how this one was.
Attaches to winch hook for added leverage when unspooling cable
Ballistic nylon webbing for added strength
Durable weather-resistant materials
Fits all winch hooks
Molded rubber grip

This is the box that it comes in. Bigger than they actually need.
Overview and Opinions:
The one thing I didn't like is that the rubber handle was actually loose and could be slipped off of the insert inside the strap. While this probably isn't that important it does give you a weird feel as the rubber collapse and deforms when you put tension on the handle.
The stitching is actually pretty good, but I would have liked to see more than 1" at the connection point for the hook loop. I will have to see how it holds up.
The pull is sewn off center, so it doesn't provide a straight pull on the winch hook. I don't know if they will actually effect your wrist if you have to pull it a long distance. It's just irritating that it's not sewn properly.
Final Opinon: I wish I hadn't lost my Rugged Ridge pull out in the woods. I used that one a lot and really liked the feel of it over the feel of this one. Hopefully this one grows on me.
