    A note about the cable end: it's the last few wraps on the drum that actually hold the cable on, not the end. The only reason there is an end fitting, brazed ball, or set screw is to keep it in place when it's not under tension. But under load, you always want to leave around 5 wraps on the drum at the minimum and the physics of that tension and friction on the drum is what anchors the cable to your winch under high pulling force.
