pullstart advisable during winter

i've been using my pullstart a couple of months ago. It was a piece of crap i pulls about 300x before it gaves up. but it was a big help for me it keeps you out from skidding of rear wheel, specialy winter is coming i dont know how many skidding gonna happens you gonna wear out your rear wheels easily before the engine starts. well it also depends on your weight coz i weigh only 120lbs thats why its really hard for me need to put your weights at the back. i paid $20 for it and it still covers by the warranty.
just be carefull of using pullstart if you pull it dont release it dont let it go you need to guide it safely back to its case otherwise you gonna damage your pullstart coil easily.
