I ordered this worm gear winch & cable to lift and hang two bicycles - mounted on the bicycle carrier rack - from my shop ceiling, (10'-1" height).
The entire system was my own design and it performs very well, lifting the bikes and rack complete to a clear height of just less 6 ft, freeing up some floor space. The products delivered a day later than promised, but I'm completely satisfied with the product quality (USA mfg'd) and related pricing. I believe I received a full measure of service and I will not hesitate to shop etrailer again.

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.

Winch is great quality and works for our purpose just fine even though it is seldom actually put to use. Needed a way for grandkids to raise/lower the heavy metal door on our “Turkey Palace”. As they virtually never actually do this, the adults raise and lower it by hand as it’s time consuming with the winches gearing. On the occasions when it is used, it does the job admirably and I would recommend it.

We’ll I’d have to say that the winch hasn’t been used at all after it’s initial trial. Not because of any fault of the winch, simply because no one wanted to take the effort to use this heavy ramp. I have opened it by hand the few times its been opened.

Not your normal use of a worm gear winch, but here it goes. The photo is of a Comet sailboat, built circa 1960. This boat is owned by my older sister, she will be 75 this year, she has lost some strenght in her hands and couldn't get the centerboard up , down is easy with gravity and all, found your product and applied to my problem.

It is a great winch. We use it to lift firewood about 12 feet with a jib crane on to our deck. It easily and quickly lifts lifts 350 pounds of wood using either a corded or cordless drill. It does not require a ratchet but stays in place when the drill is not attached even under a load. We use Dyneema synthetic line(sailboat rigging) rather than steel cable as it is stronger and easier to work with. It’s a great winch. Nothing but good things to say about it. This is our second season using it and it looks and performs like new. It by far outperformed my expectations.

We are extremely happy with the winch after a year. Using an electric drill it can lift 700 or 800 pounds easily and quickly. It does not need to be locked into place. It holds its position. Everything I wanted in the winch and it’s holding up well. would recommend it to anybody.

It's performance is great. I've had to winch heavy items with ease ( Cabinet Table Saw, Chipper, Tote full of soil (90 gallon)). Used the Electric drill adapter with no problems. The winch is mounted on a Karavan Trailer ([home improvement store])... Made winch cover from a 5 gallon bucket.

Great product. I used it to create a motorized hard top lift for my Mazda Miata. I just use a cordless drill fitted with a long extension and socket to power the winch. This is perfect because I can remove or replace my hardtop by myself with no assistance and the worm drive winch will hold position by simply stopping the drill. I can make very minute adjustments in height very easily. Way, way better than a pulley system.

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!!!

Looking for a hand winch for a garage ceiling storage platform? Finally found one here that met my needs. Rep was most helpful redirecting me from what I had chosen to what I was requesting. Cost me a few dollars more but he was correct with his recommendation. Good. He connected me to the OEM for questioning also. Good. Arrived as scheduled. Good. Rep agreed if it didn't meet my satisfaction he'd take it back as long as I'd not affected its resale condition. Fair enough. Read the instructions. Could use a little tweak here or there but understandable and usable. Was unable to determine any winch fabrication and/or design issue of importance. Practiced on using 1/2" drill operation of the winch. I'm keeping it. Now to start the installation.

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...

The winch worked well for me. We are using it to raise and lower a 40 mirror ball through a chandelier opening when needed. The electric drill makes the installation of the mirror ball real smooth. Very pleased with its performance and not for sure if we could even use the mirror ball in the position it is in without this specific winch.

I 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!

Far 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.

Very easy to install and use, either manually or with a drill. Good solid construction. One DL winch replaced a 40-year old mast-raising electric winch that failed. The other DL winch replaced a rusty hand winch for tilting the mast over that was too difficult to turn. Both new winches make raising and tilting over my ham radio antenna simple. Highly recommended. Good experience with etrailer.

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.

One of my greatest purchases ever. My driveway is inclined and I'm getting old. I need to bring my boat in nose first so pushing it into the garage was getting difficult. I bolted this winch to the floor and now use my electric drill to winch it into the garage using just my trigger finger. The unit is well made, pretty fast with a drill - much faster than the d/c models, and plenty of room for lots of cable. Excellent tool and I highly recommend.

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.

This winch has been a wonderful purchase. I use it with a portable drill, and it has performed beyond expectations. The quality is outstanding.
I have a ham radio antenna on a 30 foot tower. I no longer climb that tower,
so I installed an elevator arrangement on it. I used to handcrank it, and a friend told me about your worm gear crank. Perfect solution for me.

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.

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.

Its been a year now since I purchased my Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Winch with Hex Drive. It is a quality product and works impressively to raise and lower my Purple Martin Racks. Using a cordless drill expedites my Nest Check time. And a Worm Gear Winch is the best brake winch you can get when you stop raising or lowering it stops. One of the most efficient and reliable Winches on the market today.!

Using the shaft directly connected to the drill chuck is not recommended, but the input shaft has a hexagonal cross-section, that can be used with a 5/8 inch socket or driver attached to a drill. Keep in mind that the 1500 lb capacity for the jack is based on having...

- Hoist Options to Remove a Canopy Off of a TruckI have a couple different options you can use to lift a canopy off of your truck. If you are removing the canopy in a garage or shop that would provide overhead supports, you can use an overhead winch like the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL11011 with the Hand Winch Cable with Safety Hook # DL24100. If you are needing a system that does not require supports overhead, then you could use the Brophy Heavy Duty Cable Camper Jacks # CX74.
view full answer... - Max Speed for Drill Powering Dutton-Lainson Hand WinchThe instructions for the # DL11011 state, "to minimize heat build up and possible winch damage, do not exceed 600 rpm." So, although you can use a drill with the Dutton-Lainson Drill Drive Socket Adapter for DLB Series Winches # DL6456 to operate your winch, you will be limited to 600 rpm.
view full answer... - Can I Use the Dutton Lainson Drive Socket Adapter on a DL11011 Worm Gear WinchI have a solution for you, but if you've got a Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Winch like the # DL11002 then you won't be able to use the # DL6456. Instead, you'll need to use the Hex Shaft for Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Winches # DL406102 and the Replacement Pin for Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Hand Winch - # DL205246. This will allow you to operate your winch with a drill.
view full answer... - Winch Recommendation for Lifting 700 lb Sailboat VerticallyThe only types of winches we can recommend for hoisting like what you are wanting to do are the worm gear winches like the # DL11011 that you referenced. This winch has more than enough capacity so it would fit and work well. For a similar winch that can use a strap instead of a wire rope you'd want the part # DL11004 with the strap part # DL24242 and you'd be set.

- Will Dutton Lainson Worm Gear Winch Lower Itself If Holding Something Suspended in the AirWorm gear winches like the Dutton Lainson part # DL11011 that you referenced by design cannot lower themselves. They basically are the best "brake" winch you can get since it's essentially impossible to have the spool of the winch rotate without the handle being turned. These are the best style for any type of hoist where something is going to be lifted in the air for this reason as you don't have to worry about a brake mechanism releasing and dropping the load.

You will not need to use a cable fastener or cable keeper to do this. I have attached a diagram that shows how the cable should be fed through the reel and gear for you to check out. I spoke with my contact at Dutton-Lainson and she assured me that a 3/16 inch diameter cable will work with this winch. I recommend using the Hand Winch Cable - 3/16 Inch...

- Hand Winch for Use with Lightweight LoadsIn cases where the weight of the load on the winch is too low to properly engage the winch brake you can use a worm gear winch instead. This type of winch uses a screw mechanism to operate the load. The weight of the load cannot cause the winch to reverse direction so no brake mechanism is needed at all. The linked page displays our range of worm gear winches. You have a choice of poly strap or wire rope models, but for a marine environment I suggest the strap type, either part # DL11004...

To extend the line you would turn the handle one direction, and then to retract the line you would turn the handle the opposite direction. Because of the way the worm gear winch works, the cable cannot be pulled out to unwind the cable. The handle must be turned to release the cable. I have attached a review video of this winch for you. For...
view full answer... - Hand Winch With Top Crank Handle for Loading 5 x 8 Utility TrailerThe only problem I can see with your choice is that worm gear winches take a lot of cranking before anything happens. The crank revolution to drum revolution ratio is 30:1, meaning you'd need to crank the handle 30 times to make the cable drum rotate once. You can lessen the pain by removing the handle and using a heavy duty 1/2 inch drill with a 5/8 inch socket to turn the winch at a less sedate pace. Due to the fact that you're wanting a top crank winch, your choices are pretty limited....

If you cannot, you will only be able to use the 20 foot # DL24242.
