Is there another word for a come-along? That word sounds like slang
or vernacular.



If you're talking about the winch-type thing that exerts steady, slow
pressure on a cable, strap, or chain in order to move an item or object
attached to the other end of the chain. strap, or cable, the other word is
"winch".

But you've been involved in this group long enough to know that context is
often very helpful.
