    • In My Application, Superior to Basic Boat Trailer Winch
Style: Drill Drive Size: 1500 lb Capacity
This is a dandy machine, ideal for cranking my cycle kart and other small, wheeled vehicles into my pickup bed. Well built, burly even, and simpler than the ratchet type in that gravity cannot overcome the worm-gear design.

So i decided to build a small dump trailer. I've built a few trailers, but never a dump. First I purchased a belt style thinking I could make that work "wrong" but it was fun to play that strap when it was under a load, sounded like a mouth harp. So then I read about the worm drive winch that holds its position under load, no need for a locking mechanism. So off to harbor freight to pick up their inexpensive one. One load the winch gears were toast, so I spent the money and purchased this one with the hex drive so I could run it with a cordless drill. I'm impressed, I lubed it up and have run this thing up and down, under a 2000lb load of mulch. Stays right where you stop, smooth and steady up or down, and virtually effortless with my little drill. I love this thing so much I bought another for a future project. holy Cow, These things are awesome. If you plan to use a drill to run this winch(highly recommended if you use it a lot or the length is very far) then opt for the (WG2000HEX) you get a handle with a socket that is removable then just get a socket to fit in your drill. If you already have one with the handle, you can just purchase the hex drive to swap out in your unit like I did or use two nuts against each other like a jam nut and remove the handle. ... show more

    • Buy 50ft 7/32 wire. Use drill mode and not hammer mode. Be safe everyone!
Style: Drill Drive Size: 2000 lb Capacity
Great little setup when you don’t have power. Lifted a 500lb metal beam yesterday. It was pretty tiresome to say the least but the drill helped out a lot. Milwaukee ftw. Don’t use it on hammer mode b/c I promise you you’ll break the gears on the winch - they are not case harden to such harshness. Adjust the drill to speed 1 and then go to town. I’m using a concrete mixer drill next time around - those things have gobs of toque @ 500rpm. I will be welding a plate to the bottom to extend mounting holes and adding A fairlead. It’s just that worth it when you don’t have a car battery 😂. Cons since mines portable I have to remove the rear brace to install 3/8 anchors to secure the winch. That’s a pita. Even if I didn’t, screw holes should be more accessible. I hope the worm gear is sitting on bearings b/c mine was smoking a little. A little expensive. You can get one with 2k for under $70 but yeah - I don’t trust it. Attaching cable is kinda lame but there is t any more room To spare for a compact unit like this. Pros. Compact, detachable handle, light weight, gears are welded well ... show more

Went with the Harbor Freight one originally and itself destructed, in about a day 6-8 cycles of testing. Not only that, it was worm geared backwards, which I believe may have contributed to its downfall. This one seems much nicer. Using it to lift a retractable staircase that uses a block and tackle style setup for the cables.So I am nowhere near its weight capacity. Using with 3/16 cable. Doesn't come with the cable, so just be aware of that. With the forty 21 gear ratio and the block and tackle system, it does take forever to lift and lower.But it is nice that it holds position. ... show more

Before purchasing I contacted Dutton-Lainson and spoke with tech support (in USA & English!) no rediculous menus or messages to deal with! Tech support was outstand and answered all my technical engineering questions to my satisfaction (I am an engineer) . Product is USA mfg of all steel with hardened gears. My application is a 55 ft telescoping tower for antennas. 20V Dewalt drill easily raises tower sections and antennas, very easy to hand crank also but takes longer because of 40:1 gear ratio. I keep this winch covered from weather elements. Highly recommend this company and their products! ... show more
