Can you use this to pull a car?

It's probably not strong enough, but it would be super cool if you made it work.

I've pulled some very heavy (600 pound) stumps up an incline. I have to think if it could do that it could move a car on wheels. the four ton would be overkill, and so heavy it's difficult to work with. We used to use an American-made 2 ton come-a-long to pull trucks out of mud holes, so I have to think this thing could do what you want.

I have pulled grounding rods using the puller and a chain with a hook on the end. I'm not sure what your circumstances are though so I'm not sure if that will work for you or not.

It is used to reverse your pull and to double the pulling strength of a winch, etc. For instance if you are in a vehicle with a 9000 pound winch and are stuck you will have 9000 pounds of pulling power by hooking directly to a tree in front of you. If, however, you put a snatch block on/at the tree and run the cable through it and back to your vehicle you will then have 18,000 pounds of pulling power. You can also use it to change the direction of the pull. It is a terrific tool and I use them to retrieve huge lenths of logs that I have cut down and need to pull out onto the road where I can get to them with a trailer.

I think it would work fine. I'm assuming you are saying you want to pull the boat a short distance to a dock or another boat. It's stronger than the aluminum extension poles sold by fishing supply and outdoor stores.

I would definetly use it on a short wheel base vehicle. Pulling a trailer with a short wheel base is prone to alot of swerving especially in mountainous curvy terrain. Joe

Hi! The web site says, "Do not exceed 20lbs of push/pull force. Not to be used as a pry tool or rescue device." It's great for pulling down branches or getting things off your roof. I really love this pole set and the customer service has been exceptional when I've had questions.

To pull on it by hand and open it would be impossible. Would have better luck hooking a strap to your truck and pulling the whole gate down. Gate opener is secure.

It will handle a car battery but really depends what you are going to control with it and how many amps it pulls.

I have used it to connect a hitch/haul basket for carrying light loads, under 900 pounds, as that is the hitch rating on my car. Works fine.

I don't see why you couldn't pull it behind a pickup truck. Not sure how well it would hold up

Depends on the trailer and car not the rack so much. The rack is lightweight. I pull my 4x8 trailer with my Volvo S80.

I would not try it because you are trying to shock it of with a jerking motion . With the puller you have constant pressure on the item . You can spray it with something like wd40 .With pressure on the puller you can hit the end of it with a hammer to shock it off . I did this on a rear axle and brake drum it came of after 5 minutes with ease.

No, use a puller for that purpose, these are not designed for that... The jaws are not small enough to fit behind the groove that is located on the circumference of the shaft. If you try and pull from behind the whole diameter of the pulley you will warp or break it and it will not be of any use.

I would think so. However, keep in mind this is a straight pulley system. It takes some muscle to hoist anything of weight.

Yes, as long as the item you're towing isn't larger than a small car and not for very long distances.
