That name sound vaguely familiar. I wonder if I remember my Dad using that term.

I don't have that tool and I do need it for exactly the reason you noted, aRMY83. My chain link fence has come loose in some areas plus there is a tiny section I need to replace.

Anyway, I added it to the dictionary.

Tumbleweed....

Glad you can use this tool for your fence, but keep in mind, it can also be used for so many other things. In case you don't know how to replace sections of the fence, take a look at this:

That's a great link! I like it when they have diagrams along with a explanation.

I'm sure I'll find many uses for that winch, I just need to go buy it. I know of the tools I do have, which is quite a few, I've found multiple uses for them, other than what they were intended, so I expect the winch will be no exception.

More than likely I'll buy a couple of them. Seems there may be instances where a couple or three would be in order.
