What happens here

With the beam puller securely attached, Dennis begins to crank the handle of the tool. This action rotates a threaded rod, which in turn draws the two halves of the beam puller closer together. As the halves come closer, the hooks exert a pulling force on the timber beams, eliminating the gap between them. He states that the tool can generate up to 1500 pounds of force with minimal effort.

Goal: The core function of the tool is shown, where turning the handle uses the threaded rod to pull the beams together, effectively closing the gap between them to create a tight joint.

What they say

Hide

hammer the hook down. This one has knurlings or tooth on all four sides, so it drives super easily into the wood. And by just twisting, cranking the handle, you get up to 1,500 lbs of force with just your fingertips. And when you have a tight seam, remove it by just clacking the hook. And off to the next seam.
