Look, a worm gear winch is slow but powerful!! Don’t know if you know this but the physics of worm gear winches will not allow reversal, (in other words they won’t release unless you release them). I use this winch EVERY day! It’s an animal!! Get one and try it out with a snatch block. You will not be disappointed!!! 698338
Stevie D - 09/07/2020It arrived today and it was what I want ed! 674994
Excellent winch. Used an 18v drill with a 5/8" socket/drill socket adapter and 2 pulleys with the winch. Use these on the ranch and can easily winch a compact & mid series tractor onto a trailer as well as lifting game feeder barrels. I have purchased 5 of these winches from eTrailer for various uses which eliminated the manual effort and strain of hand crank winches and rope & pulley winches. I keep the worm gear cleaned & greased and apply a few drops of oil on the shaft bearings which should keep these winches working good for a very long time. 759281
heavy duty works great, I do wish the handle could be put on permanently 524488
Peter - 06/20/2019I used this to move a heavy item (>500lbs) to my basement. It is a high quality product. With a drill it will move the winch as fast as you'll ever need and does it fairly smoothly. This site had a great video and diagram describing how to feed/attach the cable. I fit 37ft of 1/4" plastic coated cable on the reel. You will need to strip about 1 1/2 feet of 1/4" plastic coated cable where it is attached to the winch. 109661
We are using the 2 winches in place of a rope pull and cleat for 2- 20 foot wide commercial roll up curtains that are elevated. We did not want to risk the curtains dropping when being rolled up or down as it has a 50 lb weight bar in it. The worm gear adds the safety feature of locking the load at any point of use. It is operated with a battery drill and socket. Great quality, good option of this application. 595739
I have used Dutton-Lanson Winches for 10 years now. They have been problem free. I use them on tripod deer feeders, so I need something safe. These units meet that criteria. 336342
Dickey F - 01/29/2018I use my Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Winch with Hex Drive and Fulton Winch Cable to raise and lower my Purple Martin Gourd Racks. They were an excellent choice and I just use a Cordless Drill to do all the work.! My old winches had cranks. They were jerky and hard to crank! These winches are so easy to use, no cranking, no straining, no sweat, they stop when you stop.!! Very Strong, Safe and Reliable Winches that work Great!! Wish I'd got them years ago! 304297
Run late this time only. Luckily the timing wasn't too bad. Will continue to shop here. 556809
Just got the winch mounted and cabled up.. Would prefer the grease for the unit come in a self application pack.. I got the red stuff all over trying to thread the cable onto the drum.... Someone recommend hooking a drill up to the unit to load the cable and that is what I did.. Really helped out. Will see how it works once I get the load attached to the hook... well made and look forward to using it for years to come... 258372
Ron A - 06/06/2017Far exceeded my expectations! Really impressed with the heavy frame and construction. I am a heavy equipment tech. by trade. I have used worm gear winches to pull heavy loads. The beauty of a worm gear winch is the anti-reversing effect. I am driving my winch with a cordless drill. I two part my system and pull logs up a hill. At 54 my arms are wearing out. I can't crank a regular style winch all day and or come along. I am every excited about using this unit for a long time. Sorry no photos. 275298
Steven W - 08/31/2017These are great winches with the Hex Drive worm gear and made in the USA. The worm drive is superior to other winches and although slower, the ability to use a cordless drill more than makes up for the winch being slower. Been using the hand crank mesh gear winches to raise/lower 400 lb barrels and after seeing someone use one of these winches with a cordless drill, I decided to replace my old hand crank winches that will significantly reduce the effort and strain using a hand crank. 583111
I really like the functionality and ease of operation. I am using mine to raise/lower my deer feeder to 17 feet. With a full feeder of 300 lbs of corn this winch simplified the process using a battery drill to drive the worm gear. Installation was made easier using the adapter plate from the same mfg. 900751

Winch arrived a few days after I ordered it. Very prompt delivery ahead of schedule. I am very happy with the winch. I used it to lift heavy meat carcasses in my walk in cooler. Works extremely well with little effort. I especially appreciate the opportunity to use a cordless drill to operate it. I highly recommend this winch and would definitely buy a second one if needed. 868693
The winch worked as expected and is doing a fine job 862160
awesome product we have 2 one to lift salt into our water softener, the other to list our canoe via rope hoists. We use a drill attachment rock solid winch!! Cant go wrong with this product!! 853376
Well-built product. Whoever lubed it at the factory was a little messy with the grease, but oh well, it wipes off. 819880
Great product and great service. 808140
This was perfect for my purposes on a crank over amateur radio antenna tower. It is not a real tall tower about 34' of Rohn 25. The DL11011 folds it over and raises it back up with ease. Good for us old guys who don't want to climb to fix a problem with an antenna. The removable handle is an added safety feature, and a cordless drill will make the job MUCH easier and faster. 796455
Great product 783670
I'm using this hex drive worm gear winch to raise and lower a transmission for installation in my car. It works better than expected, the hex drive with a drill is the way to go. Prior to this purchase I had to replace a very poor quality clone winch that broke teeth after one easy use. Don't waste your money and time on slightly lower cost clones like I did. 776654
Perfect winch. Solid, well constructed. Works as advertised 770847
Amazing product! I went with another brand first, and their worm gear winch is garbage! This one works just like the first day I got it. I use it as the lifting mechanism for a sit / stand workbench. Definitely need a drill unless you are okay with your arm falling off. 769834
It's exactly what I ordered and it will work very nicely. 734982
