The Tool To Have In Your Truck

- We build most of our custom homes without heavy machinery, so I have a few extra tools that I always keep in the truck to get the job done! This video is about the cable puller (AKA come along): how we use it; other accessories we have for certain situations... and we also do some shopping and explore the price of the different models available at our local Tractor Supply Store. This is a must have tool in my opinion for the pro builder or do-it-yourselfers.

Use to use them to stretch chain link fence fabric. Also to pull posts. Very versatile tool. Always called it a come-along too.
When I turned 16 way back in the day my dad put three tools in my truck and said you never leave without these tools a jack a 4 way lug wrench and a come-a-long. That come-a-long has saved my ass so many times when I was a teen to get my truck out the ditch.
Thank you all for making these videos!! My family and I have really enjoyed them and have even learned quite a bit. PEACE!!
I just found this channel, and I must say that it is a treasure trove of relevant information...and no extraneous bullsh!t. Seems like too many TH-camrs, after they get alot of subscribers...their heads blow up and they start to yammer about all kinds of irrelevant BS before they get to the point of the video. Three minutes in and the viewer is wondering WTF?
None of that here. Nice work guys.
I'm not in the trade, but I'm fixin' to start building a house. I am learning alot from you. Many thanks.
One thing to be aware of is that not all carabiners, hooks, chain, etc. are rated for hoisting. Be careful if you are doing overhead hoisting.
Love you videos.

Can confirm: a come-along is one of the most versatile tools to have on any construction job. Framing, fencing, roofing, etc. I’d also add a Hi-Lift jack to essential truck gear that is indispensable for getting certain jobs done or getting yourself out of a jam. I used mine to lift a staircase enough to slip in some vapor barrier when I realized it had been missed and my strong-backs were sitting on bare concrete.
Agree 100%! Also, a Hi lift can become a come-along in a pinch...
I use a Wyeth Scott more power puller with synthetic line which is a pleasure to work with. May be overkill for most needs but I love it.
all the tools in this truck are probably Rays. Hello from 2021! rewatching!
The pulleys you pointed to are snatch blocks. You can double the pulling rating by using one. I have used them to pull walls and posts too . Don’t necessarily need one for that , but if you are stuck in the mud they are super handy
👍👍 You guys make there best lunchtime videos.
Seriously though, practical informative for "working guys"!!
Tractor Supply is a great store, with great BIG prices!!! But I love shoppin' there!!! :-)
When customer just gave you a big check...
Straight to the store to get some awesome tools 😆
Yea for the old Come-A-Long. I have had a "cheap" one for 39 years now. It has served me well and saved my butt many a time, but often with difficulty due to it being cheap, old and well used. I think it's time for me to do a serious quality upgrade and maybe get a strap version. But I will shop around and try to get a better price than what Tractor Supply has to offer. Thanks for the video.
Lowe’s, Menards, or Home Depo bags, your favorite fast-food napkins, and a 5-gallon pail are a MUST have if there is no porta-potty. 😆😁😄😃😀
Wish my Tractor Supply had that much of a selection.
I was just sure you were going to say the must have tool in the truck was a roll of toilet paper. LOL.
Come-alongs can be worth their weight in gold at times.
So can toilet paper.....
@@brianwood876 Depends on how much Taco Bell you had during Lunch!
NO, shitpaper is still number 1 in the heirachy of tools
You can find them all the time at flee markets and pawn shops for like 20 bucks around me.
I never use straps like that have always just tied loops with water knot's if you put a nail through the knot before you put load on it comes apart easier.
Yes , you have to get it, another toy to play with. 🎶🇲🇽🤓
I got one ordered by the time the video was even over
Bought a come along @ harbor freight once.... It got nicknamed come apart......
Tractor supply is the place to go for nuts and bolts. A fraction of the price of lowes or home depot
It will save you calling roadside assistence if you get stuck in the mud, that's for sure.
Tractor supply looks somewhere between a northern tool and fleet farm here in the upper Midwest
You know you stopped at the tool bin by the register and found another tool to buy!! I do it every time at that store
It gets me too, man. "How did they know i needed a new 32pc impact driver bit set? " lol
Tractor supply has snatch blocks too!
Any MUST HAVE good tools at harbour freight ??🤔🤔
No more complaints about the skylift or wall jacks, these guys are straightening walls with hand tools.
That service body ranger at 2:32 was choice.
Yes sir the good ol ratchet strap the best .. got a come along but they always tangle on me cause I abuse it couldn't build a deck with Lowe's lumber without it too too crooked sir
Cool video
If your using a come along to plum and straighten a wall what would you attach the anchor end to?
Ask practically any TSC employee in any store for a double sheave becket block and they won't have a clue what you're talking about. Indeed, I've never found one who even knows what a becket (on a block) is -- even when a becket block was 3 feet from the sales guy's face sitting on the display rack. On the other hand, in West Marine, I've never had an employee who works in the block section of the store fail to know what a becket is.
What accessories do you suggest if you need to pull your truck or yourself from a ditch ?
Cell phone 🤣
Have you ever heard of a line brace ?
I bought a 8,000 pound one for 35 dollars at harbor freight. It has already got me unstuck out of some real deep mud
What a coincidence I have been looking at come along videos recently and gona pickup a 4000lb one from harbor freight for $21 next time im there. The 8000lb is only like $35 and from what I have seen the HF ones work well.
Don't forget safety glasses for those kids😂
Rural King rocks too. Better prices in my opinion..
Just a norm for carpenters to have messy trucks
They just broke ground on a new TSC in my town. Can’t wait.
We have 2 TS stores in the Lake Charles La. area and both combined are not as big as yours..
Best tool I got in my truck is Tyrese, I'm done diggin holes
It is called a quick link not a carabiner. Just incase you go looking for one. TS has a good stock of them.
Perkins must be a climber because that’s what real carabiners are used for. I grew up calling those thing shackles or repair links since they are often used to join two lengths of chain together. Calling it a quick link makes sense too.
“Winch”!!! Big difference lol
I dont think anyone caught it, lol
That's why I'm not allowed in any hardware store without adult(my wife) supervision.
Be careful! Come alongs are only designed for horizontal pulling. They are very dangerous to use for overhead lifting. They only have a clutch, which can slip.
I have a come-along that i stole from my dad about 15 years ago lol ... but is it really theft if he knows you took it and don't plan on bringing it back?! ... i would let him borrow it if he needed to. Lol
What part of the country is this?
North Carolina
Did you have one tool that you bought? :D
I have one but its aluminum
What tractor supply is that
Where do you guys live and work?
the trusty come along
Not bad
I bought the $41 version not long ago. Don’t see how anyone can get by without a coma-a-long and a chainsaw.
Try turn buckles
I have a question for you guys, did either of you go to college?
🍻🍻👍
Bro you live around Waynesville don’t you I know that Lowe’s and tractor supply looks familiar. There right down the road from each other.
That is NOT what the inside of my local Tractor Supply looks like!! It's maybe 1/10th the size and the tools/welding supply/hardware/fun stuff is maybe 3 or 4 aisles, 25' long.... The rest is feed, baby chicks, apparel, truck boxes, and lawn care.
That truck bed is a disaster. 😬
@:45 “Perkins Builders Lull”
I just use my ratchet straps😂
Tensioner
Haha.... "The Hand Wench".... what's that phrase y'all say all the time...."I don't think you can say that on TH-cam"....they prefer to be called "Happy ending bar maids" but in your case I think its a "winch".....
So...tractor supply paid for this video?
TP
Whaaaat?
Those aren't pulleys they're blocks....Haven't you ever heard of a block and tackle?
zeke112964 what do you use to assemble a block and tackle system? A damn pulley and what was shown was a damn pulley
