Xtremeteam:

muddyjames:
It sounds like a tirfor cable to me as well.

Manicminer:
At the end of the day it's down to the quality and strength of the cable.

This particular cable has a tapered end on it and hasn't got a clip on the end to bolt it to the winch. This clip is to stop it from spooling off the drum when you pull the cable out. To winch you need a minimum of 5 turns on the drum before you start.
Bigger winches have a slot/hole where you insert the wire and some will have grub screws to pinch the end in place.

You could fit a clip on the cable yourself without too much hassle.

A correctly fitted wire with the correct number of turns on the drum will put absolutely no strain on the clip and you could use it without one if you had to. The only pain of using one without is that the wire will slip if you spool out too much and you won't be able to start it off on your own.

As stated at the beginning - It's down to the quality and strength of the cable.

What diameter is it?

Post a pic. :wink:
