Trailer Winch – Durable Hand Crank – 3500 lbs Hand Winch with Cable - Boat Trailer Cable, Heavy Duty Rope Crank for Trailer, Boat or ATV Towing

Right out of the box the ratchet wouldn’t work, it just kept jamming every attempt at cranking it. After a hour of messing with it the main shaft for the crank no longer turned the gears at all. In the trash it went. Follow up: I realize that no matter how careful a manufacturer’s inspection and quality control is, it can happen that a bad unit still gets through. I guess I was the lucky recipient of such a unit. Imagine my surprise when shortly after posting my initial review I was contacted by TOOLSAUTOECOM LLC (where the winch came from) and they apologized for my troubles. Now some companies will do that and leave it at that but they also offered to either refund or replace the winch. No questions or return needed. I elected for a replacement and four days later a new one was delivered to me. Impressive customer service! The winch is definitely heavy duty. The ratchet mechanism is smooth and feels secure. The cable is neatly wound on the reel and pulls out smoothly. The crank is also rather robust and winds in the cable fairly quickly. Some winches will have you cranking all day just to get a few feet of cable reeled back in but not this one. The build looks good and gives the impression it will last a long time. With a large 3500 lb capacity it’s definitely a recommended tool.

Working great, good quality nice price

Product was as described. Good quality. Very pleased with purchase.

Works Great!

Purchased this winch to install on my log skidding arch. I tried to look for the highest rated "imported" winch I could get. Had to replace the cable with synthetic line as it quickly birdcaged from a few uses. Now its working with the synthetic line. After moving (1) 2,000lb log the gears are marred and there is slight mis-alignment of the spool. Update: The seller made an effort to make this right.

Tried a different winch used to raise and lower a tilting 40 ft Rohn 25g radio tower, but it didn’t hold up. This one did…works great!

Quality winch not the cheapest but after the first one I bought a second . If I need more I would buy the same

Arrived on date promised. Unit was easy to install. Pulled my 2,200 lb boat up 15 inches to nest on trailer properly. Have only used 1 time though.

Well made and durable. I bought this to replace a power winch, which had failed, on my 16’ fishing boat. This winch does the job and doesn’t break the budget! Highly recommended!

Conforme a ce que j avais commandé et la qualité est presente

Works great

Excellent winch. Works get for our application.

I bought this product for use as a a winch on a boat ramp. It worked well until the gear switch spring failed. The essential parts of this product are well made and have done a great job. The switch that failed is such a tiny part, but makes the winch difficult to use and, I would say, less safe. It has failed such that it puts itself into neutral, meaning if I let go of the winch handle, best case the boat will go flying down the ramp and get wrecked; worst case I get the spinning handle in the face. Still usable but . . . . In the total input cost for the item, the spring is probably 2 cents. Just a bad engineering call.
