Polls are working again. But they have since reset so everyone vote again!! I added the winch/come-along option. Pick the best one that describes your recovery options.

I used to work offshore and I hated chains. I can't count how many times a chain snapped off of a come-along trying to lift an engine out of a jack-up when they could have used the crane and some straps the first time.
