Description
This is the winch drum attachment option that comes pre-installed on our 5/16, 3/8 and 7/16 synthetic winch ropes. Our unique winch drum attachment design is secured to the winch rope by sliding over the tail end of the rope. It is then locked in place by pushing a 7″ to 8″ length of the rope tail through the braided ropes center. Once installed, it cannot be removed unless you physically pull the tail lock out, unlike most ropes that come with an inferior crimped on end.
The reason for the short length of tail stick-out is to lay across the width of the winch drum surface. This enables the first layer of spooled winch rope to bed and grip the tail which creates the strongest winch drum attachment! We include the correct length screws to use with our winch drum attachment . Most standard vehicle self-recovery winches use a tapped hole on the side of the winch drum flange to secure the winch rope. Some of these holes are metric and some are SAE, we provide one of each style to make sure you have the correct hardware you need. We also include the correct hex L-Key tool to make installation easier!
Whether your current synthetic winch rope has lost its winch drum attachment, or you simply want to upgrade to our method, this is the part you need.
