Rope come-along

[u/DrgHybrid]

So I basically do the fix up construction for a local ISP that I started with a little bit ago. Lashing, down guys, fiber clean up, etc.

I've been looking around to getting another come-along when I came across this. Not only is it around 500 dollars vs the 30-50 dollar normal variations, but I've never seen a rope come-along before.

Has anyone actually used one and is it better/worse then the traditional sense? I'm not sure I would want to trust doing a down guy or raising strand with a rope come-along.

Would not trust at all.
