This Dutton-Lainson worm-gear winch is designed for vertical lifting applications. Load holds when cranking is stopped. No mimimum load required. Accepts 20' winch strap. Hex drive lets you crank winch with power drill or socket-head handle.Worked great for my needs loaded a 2017 Viking on a 12 ft tilt trailer pulled the Viking on the trailer with no problems. Weights around 1450 lbs.
Product Appears usable, however,It completely tore its way out of the manufacturers box.The winch was bounced around in the packing box so much that there was grease all over anything that I touched.
Problem is it was put in a box that could have packed 4 or 5 winches. The only packing cushioning was a small piece of paper that did nothing to stop the winch from bouncing around every time it was man handled.
I have not installed the winch yet so I cannot tell if there is unseen damage. If this is the packaging I get I might as well uses Amazon and take my chances with [products from China]. I will re rate this when I get the winch Installed.
The performance of an electric winch at a fraction of the cost. (of course you must not forget your cordless drill). Hand crank takes forever. In a pinch you can turn it with 2 fingers to let slack out of the strap.
Received my order quicker then anticipated, and having the worm gear drive instead of the brake will work better on my application.
Heavy, real still no fake parts here. I love it . Works as advertised. Great product. I also ordered the 20’ 2” strap as well. East to install. Overall great experience, received my order a week earlier than expected.
The ability to operate the hoist with a drill is essential. The hand crank is good for fine adjustment. The unit arrived quickly. The 17mm head on the single supplied lag screw necessitated changing to a 9/16" socket for the additional ones. The 5/8" socket fits the drive well. Photos will be forwarded in an e-mail.
Application perfect match for purpose

I really like this product. Time saver
First off, etrailer.com is an OUTSTANDING online dealer with customer service that will impress - I promise.
As for this worm gear winch, I am very happy with it but I had to receive a replacement for the first one delivered. The material quality is excellent and functionally it is very smooth and sturdy. D&L may benefit from some quality control improvements. The first unit was not assembled (welded) well and the holes that carriage bolt (used to attach the cable) were out of alignment. This made it impossible to insert the bolt through the spool guides. Also, on the 'good' unit, the same holes left minimum clearance for the nut and bolt head which made tightening a challenge. You will need to place the nut between the spool guide and main gear (some video instructions suggest placing it outside the gear). One last observation - once the strap (DL24242) is installed, it rolls up in a cam shape as opposed to a smooth round circumference due to the carriage bolt that secures it to the winch. The mechanical advantage of the worm gear is significant so (even the weakest drill will easily wind it) I don't believe the out-of-round strap 'take-up' imparts any concerns.
All in all, I am happy with the purchase.
I selected the worm gear model because the take up handle did not interfere with my utility trailer jack. A conventional winch would not work. I selected the ratchet drive model for quick take up and release with my Dewalt 1/2 inch cordless drill. Great details for this winch from etrailer and Dutton-Lainson. Excellent American made product.
I used the Dutton worm drive winch to erect a 38ft. high tower with radio antennas mounted to it. It worked great and added a degree of safety to the operation. We were working on the roof of a 10 story building and the winch allowed us to slowly and safely rotate the tower 90deg. from a horizontal position to vertical. If the tower needs to be lowered for maintenance, it will now be a one man job with this winch in place. Great product!
I purchased this winch to replace the electric winch that burned up on my forest river tent trailer that would have cost me $400.00. With just some minor adjustments it bolted in place perfectly. I purchased a ridged 750 ft. pounds drill kit from Home depot for $99.00 and it lifts and lowers great.
Will work well on my trailer
Great Winch for my NRS Raft Trailer. I use a cordless impact drill with it so it operates as an electric winch. Fantastic.
well built, works well. you will need a drill driver with a 5/8 socket for quick deploy and retract. doesn't come with mounting hardware.
The wench I ordered works great. Couldn't ask for better. Had some delay in getting it put I wasn't in a big hurry anyway. I'll share more when the project is complete. You can bet I will use etrailer.com more often. Thanks, Ron
Used this winch on tower system to lift grates and pans for custom 20 ft. grill. Works out perfect. Great product! No lock system needed with the worm gear.
yes my wife name was on it but it was for me looks great and fast shipping also made in usa so its better built I will install it in the next few days its to lift and hold a wood floor door over my storm cellar door I needed this kind to mount to wall so will have something to do in the next few days and storm season is just about here the door is heavy so glad to find someone that sells something that will last thanks for getting it shipped fast and it a strong box
This is just what we needed. A positive forward and reverse, the worm gears keep it under control.
Great service! ordered my worm gear winch four days before Christmas and was delivered in two days to Alaska.
Really great, thank you!
Great service & products

Still working great had to load my Dixie Chopper over the summer with it & it worked like a charm. Also loaded my Yamaha Viking around 1500 lbs give are take & it loaded with know issues. It would be nice if it came with a cover I have mine under a shed & keep it cover with a small bucket.
