Hello neighbors, Steven here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at our Dutton Lainson hand winch with a worm gear set up and a loop drive split reel rated at 1500 pounds capacity. So folks, again, this is a worm gear design winch for standard duty vertical lifting applications. If you're not familiar, a worm gear is simply just a big screw in effect, but it's a worm gear driven, it's quieter than your traditional click, click, click gears and that kind of stuff. Very simple design. You just keep spinning the worm gear here and it just keeps on cranking.
The load automatically holds whenever you stop turning, so no matter if you're going forward or back, it's automatically held in position. So it's a lot safer in some cases than the ones with the quick release buttons and that kind of stuff. It is a loop drive, which is gonna let you use a shepherd hook or a power drill. So basically you put that hook in there and with the power drill, you could simply spin it and then that would spin this. Something kind of like to that nature, it is a laminated high carbon steel gear set up and it's got a nice finish on it.
The embossed steel is gonna not corrode, not rust and everything like that. It's got a nice heavy gauge steel bottom for extra strength. And it has been permanently lubricated bearings inside of this shaft here that you can't see. And that's gonna help on the drive shaft to make it maintenance free. You can also hand drive this so you can put a hook in there and hand crank it and everything if you want.
And again, it's been powder coated in a nice bronze copper-ish finish, made right here in the US. As far as some cable length options, it can hold a 81 foot cable that is 3/16" in diameter. You can hold a 61 foot long cable that's 7/30 seconds inch thick, and you can hold 43 feet of 1/4" diameter cable. It's got a nice five year warranty. And as far as some dimensions, you got 6-3/4" overall on the length on the side arms there or side plates, 5-1/2" tall overall and 5-3/4" wide.
And as far as mounting it, you got lots of different slot holes here. Those are gonna give you many options as far as being able to slide and match up some processed holes, maybe if you're replacing one or just put it in place where you want, put it, trace the holes, make your drill marks, drill it out, and then put your bolts in, you're ready to go. Well folks, I will wrap it up for our quick look at this Dutton Lainson hand winch with the worm gear loop drive split reel. I'm Steven, thanks for watching.
Product arrived in a few days and was just what I needed for my project that required a dual spool ability.
Good communication, good price and fast shipping!
We are using it as a winch on our FIRST robotics robot. Super product. The staff was extremely helpful in answering questions about the product specs that were not on the spec sheet so we cold see if it was useable for our robot. Works perfectly! Thank yo etrailer!
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.
A great hand winch. I’m using two, one to llift a lawn roller and the other to lift a lawn aerator into the rafters in the garage when not in use to open up some floor space. I swapped out the loop drive for the hex drive to speed up the lifting process. They have no problems lifting either of these lawn tools because neither weighs more than 100 lbs. one concern I have is that there is no way to secure the cable to the drum. The instructions show 3holes in the drum to loop the cable through and back onto itself. The drums I have have only one hole. Running the cable over itself seems to be working, but I would feel more confident if it was secured better. Rather than just friction holding the cable in.
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 purchased the Dutton-Larson Hand Winch-Worm Gear to use on my 20ton Hydraulic Press that I fabricated as a hobby. I replaced the Loop Drive with the Hex Drive. What I love
About this winch is how smooth it operates, it’s quiet with no fumbling with latches to unlock. The best part it’s made in the USA. I can use a speedhandle or a cordless drill to lift or lower the bed to accommodate my tooling.
High quality materials
High quality tool. Only disappointed that the photo and description did not adequately describe the model that was shipped. It showed a detachable loop drive and indicated that a drill could be used with it. However the loop is welded on and an additional connection will need to be made to use a drill to drive it. Otherwise seems like the perfect winch for lifting. Good service and shipping, quick answer to my question regarding shipping.
Does everything as advertised. Quality built. Holds a load.
Works very well lowering and raising our 10’ video screen.
Was happy with the product , I am coming back to order another one.
Great communication and quality equipme nt

Awesome winch. Brought down a 65 foot hingedham radio tower. Tremendous load near the end of the tilt. That Which will hold a load without budging. Love me some made in American stuff.
