Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch - Worm Gear - Hex Drive - 2,000 lbs
Works perfectly. I’m using the winch to lift a heavy (100 lb) cast iron effluent pump. The pump occasionally needs to have float switches replaced and the winch makes this job much easier.
Fantastic, well built, expected to see cheap socket welded onto the handle, nope, instead there was welded a quality 5/8" "PROTO" socket.. impressive! Just what I needed.

Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch - Worm Gear - Hex Drive - 1,500 lbs
I am building a setup to raise and lower an ameteur radio tower. Purchased a winch from a hardware chain store, it looked just like yours and was $25 cheaper. It was rated for 2000lbs, but stripped out at only 200lbs and left my hanging with tower raise only 30 degrees, yes I had a scale on one of the cables. Replaced with your product today, it didn't even strain, even though it is rated for 500 lbs less. Lesson learned. Great product and btw I've had the same winch installed on another tower for years, has worked flawlessly.
Just received the winch! Excellent quality from first blush. Will have to wait a week or two before I can test its lifting capability. I have installed it in a wall position, using cable and pulleys attached to the ceiling to lift something up next to the ceiling occasionally.

Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch - Worm Gear - Loop Drive - Ceiling Mount - 1,500 lbs
I purchased two of the DL10954 units to hang a Kayak and Paddleboard above my vehicle in my garage. The units were heavy duty, much more than I expected. I have added some pictures of my installation. Now anyone in the family can lower them and get to them when needed. Thanks Mark
I am only using this to lift 150-200 lbs, taking a topper off and on my truck. It works great, but I switched the loop for a hex drive. A bit of warning, I managed to burn up the motor on a $200 Ridgid 18V drill. For some reason I didn't have issues with my cheaper Ridgid drill, but still something to be aware of.

Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch - Worm Gear - Split Reel - 1,500 lbs
I used the split reel winch to make a lift for storing bins in my attic, it works great. Used a 3/8" universal joint for alignment and #35 chain and gears to over come the 30:1 The split drum allowed me to reeve the lift up in the bite, used 1/4 inch solid braid nylon. Can use the hand crank (removable) or the electric drill. The bottom of the lift platform is the ceiling panel.
Bought this winch for a homemade pickup truck camper-shell lift rigged to my metal carport. Works great! In fact this is a very well built, heavy, solid and smooth operating winch, more so than I expected and well worth the price.

great quality, heavy duty cable. It stays flexible in cold weather also for as big of wire it is.
Rating is not for the product. Many sites sell the same product. The rating is for the service. They were unable to ship the original item. One quick phone call and they were able to substitute another item and shipped it quickly to me. Web sites are great tools...but they don't replace live customer service! Will look here first for similar products in the future!
What our customers are saying:
"Very fast shipping, easy to search website, and great tech service. I highly recommend this company for anyone needing any type to trailering equipment."
