New Stainless Portawrap IV

[Bigus Termitius]

I like them fine....but no need with two good steel homemade units. I painted just enough to keep the rust away...the only bare metal is where the ropes run and they stay in a sealed bucket when not in use.

If these are from china....I will not buy on principle.

They might want to take us....who doesn't, but good luck with that. When we get grumpy....we don't play well with others.

I bought the ss Porta wrap with that sweet deal, couldn't be happier. Remember though, if your groundies are used to using the nickle plated versions the stainless has much less friction because of how smooth it is. Have them throw in an extra wrap or two, especially with bigger pieces.

Hope nobody takes your advise. :newbie:

So if it is made of cast iron, that would be fewer wraps!

The one we have grabs like crazy, no wrap or half a wrap works for most pieces. If the stainless is more slippery I could see having to put an extra wrap on?

It's not, smoother though.

I like this one Metals406 built

A bigger PW than you can buy. . . 3" Barrel and 3/4" CR instead of 11/16".

If I wanted to rub it in I would've told you that I only traded him my retired saddle and gaffs for it. lol.

I am a little giddy now, so, how about wrapping the axle of your truck and hitch off the ball??
