This is a great tool. Buy it. I bolted it to my dock to pull my pontoon boat off of the lawn. Funny thing is that it ripped the plank off the dock and flew in to the water. I unplugged it, pulled it out of the water, rebolted it and it still worked (good waterproofing!). I also use it to pull my boat lift into the water. Used it 3 years now. Pulled my ski boat and trailer about 5 feet across the lawn once too. Buy it.

I use tow of the Elc. 110 volt winches and they are in the weather winter and summer in Oklahoma I use them for my two radio towers 70' each use a dead man to hook the winch to with bolts and away we go lowering the towers and pulling them back up. NO problems and I did this so it would be and is a one man operation for both tower... love the price and how they work and lock and the all weather remotes cables

I purchased it to lift the fiberglass hardtop top off my 1955 T-bird, it works great a little fast so I added some pulley to slow the rate a little ,been using it 7 years now with out a problem, I now use it to remove the hardtop from my Viper, Not used everyday but no problems so far.

I have it mounted to the floor and use it to pull cars into my shop. It works great for getting a car over the small lip i always would have to get someone help push them in. Drop the car by your shop right off the trailer long cable will reach right out of the shop to the car. Im buying another one right now for a diff bay

Purchased about a week ago. Finally had a use over the weekend. Needed to remove some concrete pads and could not move them with the come-along. Mounted the winch to the side of my home built gantry and used two pullies to center the cable in the gantry. The winch lifted a 4ft X 6ft X 3 1/2 inch chunk of concrete like it was paper.

I wanted a winch to lift two bikes into the overhead of my tall (15' floor to ceiling) garrage. I modified the winch by adding a disk that split the spool. I also added a second fairlead. Then I slpit the cable and ran it so that half the cable spooled onto the top of the drum and the other half spooled onto the bottom. Then I put it it in a fixture that led the two cables down to a spreader bar made from a section of 2" pipe nia pullies. It works great. I would be glad to send a picture, but this form has no facility for it.

I use mine to pull motorcycles into my shop. Often I am working alone and if the bike won't run , this does the trick. I made the remote control cord longer, otherwise the unit is as advertised.

Very high quality product at a very modest price (look around). I use mine to help me store my 4x6 Teske Trailer. Watch it in use here> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pyfi6QtQBfg

I got this winch to lift up a swim spa cover. The cover is big and bulky. The junk they sell you to help lift the covers just blocks the view and is almost the same price.

It works perfectly to lift the spa cover had to design a pulley system to lift the two peices at the same rate. It lifts up and holds the cover above your head while in the tub and when you get out the cover just settles in place perfectly.

The only problem is the remote went bad because it is not weahter proof. To fix we had the electrition put in a waterproof box and buttons by the door to get in the house, now it is better than before. The spa is outside with just a cover over it and the rain can blow in from the sides.
