Pull-PAL Winch Anchor 11000 with Case (4X4 Recovery) U.S. Made

This thing in an engineering marvel. I used 11000 model in conjunction with tow straps to move a 20' 4700lb container approx 8 feet sideways and 25 feet back. This is not a prescribed use case and I watched several youtube videos including one where the owner/inventor said that it's not designed to handle dead weight (so exactly what I was doing).I took a risk anyways as the only other solution was to pay $800 for the one guy in my area of WA who has a custom device to wiggle containers into strange spots or to try to do an axle w/wheels (more expensive, pain to store, and I'd never need them again, plus one of my corners on my container is bent so the wheel would have been at a weird angle). I figured if I could get the pull pal to do the job it would save me a few hundred bucks while paying for itself in full on the first job. It did and it was awesome and I can't recommend it more.Moving it sideways was no issue (I had good solid earth), but backwards was difficult since I kept hitting rocks 6-12 inches down (I live on a hill that is just boulders and rock below). I finally found a spot that went deeper but the pull pal with the come along winch kept plowing the land and not pulling the container. I was about to give up after hours of failing but wanted to give it one last go so I dug out the hole a little wider so the spade could hit a slightly different angle in the ground and then pushed all the dirt back on the pull pal burying it, and I think it was that last part that made it work, as just that little extra weight holding it place got it to bite; I didn't see that in any video I watched online, but wanted to mention it for anyone struggling.It was a lot of physical work to get it moved, but totally worth it and now I have this amazing device that I'm sure will save the day in the future for someone (hopefully in its prescribed use case). It's so beefy it still looks brand new and is definitely an heirloom quality tool that could be passed down for a few generations.Do yourself a favor and buy this one, not some cheap rip off that you will be regretting when you're struggling while stuck; the owner/inventor is just an old school guy and deserves getting paid. BILLET4X4 shipped it the next day via ups ground and they're out of Colorado if you're trying to estimate delivery time.

Great product tried it several times in the Mojave last weekend, works great!

1. If you look at online tests, the PullPal does very well.2. The PullPal comes in different models so difficult to compare, but appears cost-effective to competitors.3. Build quality is good. Packaging is good.4. Company responds quickly to email.5. There is a small loop on one arm to tie a rope to in case the spade gets stuck. I'd vote for a slightly bigger loop so a small shackle could fit.6. The spade (like any shovel) is going to get worn. I'd vote for a 'plus' model or upgrade to a stainless spade (if feasible).7. Instructions are a tad slim, but I'm not an experienced user. Finding a nice sharp photo of the anchor on the web helped to do the assembly.

It appears you can save your self $45.99 by ordering it direct from their site on a RW11000 pull pal. I discovered it when I did not get any information on my tracking number. Do your research and don't make my mistake in trusting Amazon for the best deal. Buyer beware. I always shop for the best deal. Oh well I got tracking data now. Pul pal is pricy but well worth it. I tested the Pull Pal and it works as listed.
