Customers are mixed about the quality of the wrench. Some mention it's a well built device with a stronger spool. They say it'll make a lethal situation into a reasonably safe and easier job. However, others say that the metal cable is starting to fray a little, the cable was jammed when they first opened the box, and the springy cable guide caught on the cable, preventing it from releasing. The hardware on the Come Along could be a lot better quality, but again it did the job that it was intended for.

Customers are mixed about the value of the wrench. Some mention it's a good deal for the money, while others say it'll be a colossal waste of money.
"...a 4 ton come-along would be an overkill but this one was cheap enough for a tool that I would rarely use...." Read more

in 1991 which has served me well in felling medium size trees.
I am using it as a standard to compare against. I needed an
additional puller so I bought the Tekton 5547. The old one had
only a single gear and the letdown/release mechanism required
leather gloves to operate without pain or even injury. The
Tekton has two gears and the mechanism is kind to the hands.
Using vernier calipers, I measured the thickness of the steel
forming the handles: 4mm for the old puller, which had bent
slightly from use, and 5 mm for the Tekton, so I anticipate
little or no bending. The steel forming the body was 5 mm thick
for the old puller, 6 mm for the Tekton. The cable diameter
measured 0.211 inches for the old puller, 0.233 for the Tekton.
The old puller used bolts requiring a 17 mm socket, 5/8" socket
needed for the new puller (almost the same). Both pullers
extended to the same length: as advertised, the Tekton spans 7'
3" from hook in the front to the hook in the back. The opening
on the hooks on the old puller started at 7/8" and widened out
to 1"; motion of the safety clip left a 5/8" clearance. The
hooks on the Tekton are also 7/8" but don't widen out, so motion
of the clips only leave a 3/8" clearance. This is a problem for
the 3/4" nylon rope I use - it is only with substantial
difficulty that the rope can be removed from a Tekton hook once
the clip snaps over it. My solution was to deactivate the
clip with a strip of duct tape locking it permanently into the
open position against the hook. The clip clearance is the only
negative about the Tekton and is insignificant to me since the
clips have always only gotten in my way. The Tekton made some
alarming noises when cranked which disappeared when light
household oil was applied liberally to all moving parts. So
far I've only used it for one tree and it worked flawlessly. The
Tekton 5547 is a great tool and I'd recommend it to anyone.
Update 4/2019: Since my original Tekton 5547 purchase, I bought two more, one in 2/2013
and another in 3/2015. I have used four pullers at a time to help fell six white pine trees (about 22" diameter) together
with 5/8" EHS dacron (polyester) ropes from Steve Davis, who some of you may know. I've also felled
many smaller trees using these pullers. I lost one puller when a tree fell on it and cracked the spindle.
I've never had a major problem with them, even when I had to horse down to get maximum pull.
I did have some minor problems besides the safety clip problem previously detailed:
I saw one or two of the main bolts turning during use; they were easy
to tighten down. Another problem also reported by other reviewers is that on one of the pullers
the springy cable guide caught on the cable, preventing it from releasing. This was annoying but
awkwardly manageable with a huge screwdriver pushed between the cable and the guide while operating the
release mechanism. A reviewer suggested buying a better puller from a prominent tool company. I'm
interested in better tools so I did order one. I was disappointed: that puller had aluminum parts and the
main body was significantly thinner than the Tekton's 6 mm. It did work but I think I would have been
better off with another Tekton. As of 3/2015, unless I want to pay about 10 times as much for a puller,
the Tekton is still the best I could find. I'd like to know if there is a better one in the price range - please
post a comment if so.
Out of the box it seem to be well made, the parts are nicely finished. it comes with a good heavy duty snatch block. I plan on taking it apart in places to grease it, because the drum is kinda stiff and, you should grease the drums pin anyway. The anchor hook and the other end are nicely made, but held in with a pin with a C clip, why I have no idea, that point should be a bolt and nut.... Ill probably upgrade that too. Overall, out of the box its a nice unit for $50.
On the subject of people saying this or any other come along on amazon bends or the handles buckle ect ect... I think they simply push them too far. With a comealong, if you cant easily pull the handle and rotate the drum, stop trying, you are at its limits. Sure it says "8000 lbs " but that doesn't take into account for friction.... the coefficient of friction can make a 1000lb load exceed 8000lbs needed to move it. is it on dry pavement or wet pavement? is it stuck in the mud? how deep? how stiff is the mud? are you pulling uphill? There are a lot of variable in that figure. I have ripped come alongs into pieces with seemingly light loads, simply due to how stuck they were to the surface by friction. These things aren't magic they are simple physics. Rolling loads are not dead weight. Depending on how they arrived at the rating, they could have been pulling 8000lbs on level ground with a very low CoF. For example, If I have a dead cow, on dry turf that weighs 1500lbs, and a 1500lb concrete block on the same surface, it might take 5x the force to move one and not the other.
When I use it I will update this on my findings and impressions. Out of the box, looks like a good deal for $50.
