ATV Winch Cable Stopper — Protects your winch, cable, and vehicle components What it does Prevents overwinding and over-spooling of the winch cable, protecting the winch motor and internal gears. Designed for use with synthetic ropes and steel cable up to 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) diameter. Fits easily to winch drums and rollers to maintain correct cable tension at the hook. Key benefits Reduces mechanical wear: stops damaging cable jams and gear strain that shorten winch lifespan. Improves safety and control: holds tension reliably so the hook and load remain stable during recovery or hauling. Durable protection: a heavy-duty rubber cover shields the cable against abrasion, moisture, and impact. Features and materials Robust rubber sleeve: waterproof and highly resistant to cuts and tears for long-lasting protection. Universal fit: engineered to fit most winch drums and rollers, making it suitable for a wide range of ATV applications. Cable capacity: supports synthetic and steel winch lines up to 1/2 inch in diameter. Includes compact installation tool: a small portable flexible spike-bar key is supplied to simplify mounting. Safety reminder: use leather gloves during installation and operation to protect your hands. Performance Withstands outdoor conditions and regular off-road use without degrading performance. Keeps cable seating and tension consistent to reduce slipping, binding, and gear stress. Typical use scenarios Trail recovery: install on an ATV winch before pulling a stuck vehicle to prevent over-spooling and protect the winch during heavy loads. Farm and yard work: maintain cable integrity while dragging logs, moving fence posts, or pulling trailers. Utility and maintenance jobs: use when winching equipment onto trailers or when precise tension control is required. Compatibility and fit Designed for general compatibility with most vehicle winches, especially ATVs and similar off-road machines. Fits directly on winch drums and rollers; intended for cables up to 1/2 inch diameter.
