Overall a very sturdy device.
So far I've just used it for pulling taught a no-climb fence and it has done an admirable job. My observations are that for a few cents more the "pull/release" mechanism could be built a little sturdier and the chintzy plastic pieces that go over the levers could at least be made to stay on for a few pushes. Mine ended up in the dirt after the first few minutes of use. That said I'm sure I'll have many years of use out of this well built product.

Nice piece of heavy-duty engineering, but it took a while before I learned how to release the tension step-by-step. A little more detail in the instructions might help. Even better would be a video of the operation on the web, because this is probably something that needs to be demonstrated.

I just used it this morning for the first time. I used it to pull 2000 lb pallets that were on a pallet jack up an incline to get them into my garage. The only drawback of the unit is that I had to use double cables (4 tons rating) to get the pallets up the incline. I could only move a pallet about 4 feet before having to re-set the chains.
Other than that I think this is a great unit.

This is the first Come-along that I have used. It is every thing that I expected and well worth the price.
