101575 Handheld Portable Drill Winch with 40 Foot Synthetic Rope: 750 lb Pulling Capacity

I needed to move a towable cherry picker to an area that it was impossible to get it in to the position towing and the ground and the weight of the cherry picker made it nearly impossible to push . Hooked this on and it winched it to where i needed it without any issues at all . Great bit of kit , This is not the reason i bought it but it saved a lot of hard work

Die Winde ist wertig gebaut, sie erfüllt meine Ansprüche bei der Wildbergung im jagdlichen Einsatz

Work smart, not hard. I've been in the HVAC trade for 30 years, and wish this thing was invented 30 years ago. If you're already looking at this winch, just buy it. You'll use it way more than you think. Quality is superb. Don't forget to buy some straps, a pulley for even tighter lifting spaces, and a shackle or two and you're set.

I’ve and older model with the steel rope, which I use in another location. This new one is much easier to manage given the synthetic rope. The rope is much lighter. It’s flexibility allows easier hook up and handling. The rest of the Warn product is strong and well engineered.

Exactly as described. Works well. Need to be diligent feeding the rope onto spool. Great device.

I have a rural piece of land and I’m cutting lots of trees and dragging the rounds uphill in carts. I have all kinds of winches: one on the truck, one on a UTV. But access is a problem. Sometimes it’s hard to get a vehicle mounted winch in tight places. So I got this drill winch. It works great! I literally take a cordless drill, tree strap and this thing and just walk in to any lifting situation. It’s light, portable and I can get creative. It’s pretty durable. The working bits are steel, and only the carrying handle and outside are plastic. Plus, the Warn brand is respected and I felt like it would be well built(even though I have no illusions, it’s probably not made in the USA). Still, it’s well built. The good: 1) It’s light weight but pulls 750lbs…which is enough. You could probably pull more with pullies mechanical advantage but I wouldn’t for safety. Think of it as like having 2 strong buddies to help. It’s not for recovering cars. But it’s strong enough for manual tasks. 2) The nylon rope is light and strong and easy on the hands(no sharp wire frays to cut you). It’s very small, compared to full car recovery (10,000#) nylon rope at about 3/8” thick or smaller. I don’t know where I’ll replace it when it eventually wears thin. But I understand the trade-off to make it light and portable. It’s 40 feet long, and small because it’s only rated to 750lbs. 2) I use a Dewalt Impact driver that has a speed chuck with a socket attachment and 8mm(5/16”) socket to drive it. The manual recommends a standard drill with a regular chuck, but I found this awful. The regular chuck kept loosening and it’s an akwardly tight space to tighten the chuck. It kept loosening. Plus, my drill speed was much slower. The impact driver was much faster, smaller and made a better connection with the socket attachment. All in all, I’ve found a new favorite tool. I keep looking for other uses. Who doesn’t need more power from time to time? Especially because it’s so portable.
