The cursor blinks, patient and indifferent. Behind you, in the garage, the machine itself sits on a workbench caked with sawdust and the ghosts of previous projects. The JobMate 1500—that brutish, avocado-green slab of stamped steel and questionable Chinese bearings. You bought it second-hand from a man named Gary who smelled of cigarettes and unfinished decks. “Runs great,” he said, not meeting your eyes. “Lost the manual, though.” jobmate 1500 manual
Comparison to Competitors
- Vs. ComeAlong 2 Ton (1,500 lb actual) – The JobMate is similar to no-name Chinese come-alongs but slightly better paint and warranty. However, a true 2-ton come-along from Yale or Lug-All costs 3x as much and is vastly superior.
- Vs. Power fist (Princess Auto) – Comparable quality, but JobMate has marginally better customer service through their distributor (Truper/AllTrade?).
- Vs. Wyeth-Scott 1.5-ton – No contest. Wyeth-Scott is in another league (forged steel, auto-brake, USA-made) but costs $300+. The JobMate is for the budget user.

- Laceration Hazards: Risks regarding the spinning blade.
- Kickback: The specific danger of the workpiece being thrown back toward the operator.
Maintenance Tips
- Disassemble and grease the gears every 2 years or after heavy use. Factory grease is minimal.
- Replace the cable with a synthetic rope or better steel cable (3/16” EIPS).
- Spray the ratchet pawl with penetrating oil before each use season.
- Store indoors. Moisture kills this winch quickly.
- Add a handle sleeve or rubber grip for comfort.
