    I am making one as well but using the 18.00 winch from harbor and
    freight. I thought that the best way to compensate for any potential
    whip effect is to not have the winch pull the wire directly. 

    My approach is to have locking pliers connected to a t-bar that
    slides in a channel. So the cable is pulling the t-bar that the
    pliers are connected to. Since the cable rides in the channel offset.
    If the wire breaks then the t-bar rides within the channel and
    contains it. 

    Can tool making be an addiction?
