The Cordless drill being used is a great idea.I did know that if the rope
broke, to your pull start Briggs and Stratton lawn mower .all you had to do
was take the cage of the top of the motor and there is about a 11\4in nut on
the top dead center of the round thing a ma gig that pulls the rope back.
you could start the lawn mower with a socket in the drill (set it on the
highest speed) slicker than sh-- Sure beats all that pulling!!!

I just read a couple posts on using a cordless (24v) electric drill as an
electric winch handle...Has anybody done this? were you satisfied with
the
performance.

The off the shelf electric winch handle is over $2000 so this could be a
great alternative for those with big mainsails!
