Good quality product but badly bent out of the box.

Good quality product but twisted so badly it ended up in the shipping box and severely bent the cord. unusable out of the box. It took a lot of effort to get it right.

Heavy Duty Cable - Choke Cable

This is a heavy duty cable, well made. My only complaint is that the factory needs to stop turning it so tight. The cable I received had 3 kinks. I can still use it, but that could have been avoided if I hadn't tried to roll it up so small.

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • Can't remember but there was something

The cable itself is fine, the only reason I give it 3 stars is .

The handle on the end broke on first use. Luckily this worked on my old cable. And it's solid, not empty garbage. The cable itself is fine, the only reason I give it 3 stars is the cable. Not worth the money spent.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Disappearance

Works like my brother in law

It was very light work and the black handle broke off at the end. The threaded bolt that threaded into the ball from the end of the cable was so small I couldn't use my old Chelsea grip. If you buy this make sure you have some bench vises with it.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • High price

Cable assembly is OK but the internal thread at the top of the assembly is cut too deep. The nuts must not be tightened as they will simply pop off the threads. The nuts are a correct 7/16" thread with 20 threads per inch and are a close fit to standard male threads, but the female threads on the top of the cable assembly housing are cut too deep to allow the nuts to be tightened without overshooting. Threads Poor production and quality control.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Out of service
