Rubber Winch Stopper for Cable Hook, Rubber Rope Line Saver for ATV UTV SUV Winches, with Allen Wrench (Red)

The hook on the winch and the UTV was left flopping from the factory. It had the roller guides, but the hook was in a weird bind if you just winched it up close. I’d wrap it around the bar and hook it over itself to secure it, but then the paint gets scratched. This little thing fixes it all and works like a charm! Pulls the hook up tight to the rollers. This keeps the cable aligned on the spool too by keeping the cable taut. Cable wrapped over itself frays and kinks and goes bad quickly so keeping it spooled up nice makes it last…and that little bit of tension keeps it right. The hole in the middle is a bit big for my cable. It won’t even clamp tight over the crimp portion, but it still pulls up and I just crammed a stick up the back side of the hole and broke it off so it stays put now! It’s hard rubber and comes with the Allen key. I added a bit of thread locker liquid as there’s no lock washers and it will vibrate constantly. Goes on quick and protects your higher dollar parts down the line for next to nothing. Super value…and it looks neat too!!!

Great quality item, works exactly as it should. Product is made of good quality hardware. Would highly recommend this item.

The hole is too big for the 3000 lb winch on my Honda Rancher. I had to wrap some Gorilla tape around the thimble and attach the stopper to that. It was way too big to clamp onto the 3/16 cable.

Nice cable cushion…I do a lot of offroad work and recovery. I needed a new cushion for my winch cable. You can see in my photo that the cushion clamps on right behind the cable termination crimp. I call it a cushion, because it will, in no way, stop the winch. My only gripe is that the hardware is a bit small and it needs washers on both sides of the nut/bolt. Other than that, it’s a nice piece and worth the money.I keep up with my reviews and will revisit this one should the need arise.I give this cushion my Big-Foot “Stomp” of approval and 4 stars!

The aftermarket winch kit I picked up for the ATV didn’t include a stopper to prevent the hook from being pulled too tight to the hawse. This will allow me to run the hook in tight enough so it doesn’t rattle around while not damaging the hawse. Looks like the plastic will hold up well. Simple enough to install.

Material is a little stiffer than the one that was originally on my winch. That’s a good thing IMO. It’s easier to snug the bolts without them pulling through. But it’s still soft enough to protect as intended.

This appears and feels like a good winch hook stopper. I am glad to see multiple color options available! The material is firm and did well during my initial tests. I installed this over 1/4 inch synthetic line used with a Warn 3500lb ATV winch (pictured). I have seen other stoppers like these break or crack after a couple years of use, perhaps from over tightening the bolts. At under $10 (this one was $8 at the time of my review), this is an affordable accessory part.Overall, I believe it is worth the cost. Pick a color that is right for you and end the clanking of your loose winch hook!

When I ordered this I thought is was supposed to fit tightly on the cable. when i opened it i thought Did I order the wrong thing? Then I read up and realized it is supposed to slide on the cable, which makes more sense because it would be in the way if it didn't.It installed very easily with the included allen wrench.It is nice that multiple colors are available, if your into that sort of thing, I got blackThe material is very firm and has a glossy appearance but will compress some which is what you want to get the winch cable snug without tearing up the fair lead.Price is about right too.they should really include one of these with any winch purchase.
