A similar heavy-duty unit with a combination chain and cable became available in 1935 that was used by railroads, but lacked the success of the cable-only type units. [ 1 ] A similar tool to a come-along is a cable puller , which does not have a drum and ratchet but directly grips the cable, allowing unlimited lengths of wire rope to be used.

For instance a Bowden cable is to some extent rigid and doesn't obey the principles of the capstan equation. The line is non-elastic.
