Did you buy a "Cable Winch Puller" (come-along) from Harbor Freight but couldn't figure out how to release the tension once it was ratcheted tight? Yeah, it's not obvious, even if you've used other come-alongs and the instructions aren't super clear.

Well, it IS somewhat obvious after you study it for awhile or see it done. Literally just two simple steps. In fact, the Harbor Freight come-along is arguably easier to release than "normal" come-alongs... after you know how.
