    Synthetic winch line?

    I have decided to go synthetic. I noticed the decal on an old Warn 8274 that had a rating listed for a 1/4" line. This started me thinking. In my research everyone recommends going to a shorter length of 3/8" instead of making the straight cross over to 5/16". If synthetic is in fact 60-70%...

    Need a torque wrench...

    For what it is worth I like my Kobalt better than the Craftsman that was stolen. I use a Armstrong at work that I wish i had bought for myself. The Armstrong is longer and you don't have to work as much at the upper level. I also keep a sale priced HFreight one in the truck box It is longer than...
