Winch-to-drill fitting as budget electic winch

[Lightwave395]

Almost certainly a better bet for most people. The power button is in the right place for a start.

I messed around for while with adaptors and Dewalt cordless drills, gave up in the end and bought a hardly used Winchrite on ebay for £220. Bloody marvellous thing, my OH has got me up to the top of a 14M mast a few times without drama for her or me and it raises the main in a heartbeat

The one in the link went for £280.
