that is so cool how you animated the Google search. How did you do it?
First go here: http://lmgtfy.com/

Then, type in the search box what you want.

Then click the "google search" button. Once you do this, a link will be created below the google search button. You can copy that link and share it.

Guys, be real careful here. The spelter and plug ends give 100% rope strength, the wedge and socket does not, (75 to 80% strength)and the winch rope is operated with a much lower design factor, so giving up 25% is not a good idea. Yes they are easier, but. If the rope end has come off, I would seriously inspect the remainder of the rope for suitability for service.

Hope it is not like this one, which was still in service.
Winch line is can be very dangerous. Proof whatever you use to assure that it meets the need, before using in the field.
