Hey Adam, thanks for reaching out!
You need the Hex Shaft # DL406102 to use a power drill to operate the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL10956.
One of the reviews on this adapter says they damaged the drill by running it too fast with this adapter so that's one thing to keep in mind when you go to operate the winch.
