used it 3 times so far and remote works from about 100 ft. only problem it the you have to hold button to spool out cable, there is no release to let cable out so it takes some time. it would be so much better if it had a spool release on it.
i use it to pull trees over by myself. it works great for that. used it also to install a beam in garage and remote makes it very handy to do buy your self.
