Cordless drill as Electric Winch Handle
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! -- Captain Todd Shuster Gato Verde Adventure Sailing School Not your average sailing charter.... www.gatoverde.com |

Cordless drill as Electric Winch Handle
When I deteriorate to the point I need an electric winch to hoist sails or even an electric reel for fishing, I will hang up my lines and purchase a set of golf clubs although I have no idea what they're for...

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!!!
