EASYBERG 600LBS Hand Winch with 26.3FT Steel Cable, Two-Way Adjustable Boat Trailer Winch with Hook, Manual Hand Crank Winch for ATVs Trucks Auto Marine

I use it to pull up my 25 gallon drum corn feeder, works well Thanks

Great item, works great.

Easy install to hoist big game. Wifey says this old man needs to work smarter and not harder. This was a investment y to o save my back.

I took a chain-link fence corner post which is a diameter of 2 3/8 inches and welded it to another post and set it into concrete giving me a very tall post, and I welded the winch to the side of the post. No problem.Then I took do you wire that came with it off, and replaced it with 384 feet of one 16th inch stainless steel braided cable wire, observing how the original cables attached to the reel. The new wire has a breaking tensile strength of more than 300 pounds so it was more than sufficient for a dog run zip line. I attach the line to the winch reel, and cranked it on about 20 turns, then I got an electric drill and spun the rest of the wire from the supplied reel to the winch reel, it went very very fast. I ran the wire to a pulley attached tool hook at the high end of the pool and now the zip line is way over my head but because I can tighten it from the “ground“, I don’t have to worry about turnbuckles or any other tension devices. I ran the water all the way across my yard to a hook in my soffit board of my house just blow the gutters, and now my dog can run the entire length of the yard I want to downlink chain attached to a pulley that runs the length of a zip line.Just for yucks I spray painted the whole thing black which matched how I spray painted the galvanized corner post, and I fully expect it will last much longer than I will live.

I purchased a separate mount and with minor modification, it mounted up very nicely.While this is going to be adequate for my needs and it functions reasonably well I have a couple of issues with this device.1. The cable has a horrible memory and gets twisted and kinked too easily.2. The lever that you switch to reel in/out doesn't fully engage and you have to manually force it into place after you have it where you want it or it could release on its own.3. the cable has frayed (in the center of the cable not the end) for lack of a better description. Fortunately, this is very near the full extension of the cable so I generally won't have that section actually under much tension.
