YATOINTO Portable Drill Winch 750 LB Pulling Capacity with 40 Feet Alloy Steel Wire Rope | Hand Winch for Lifting & Dragging

I had to move several large rocks on my property. This little guy was like having three large humans help with the job. The drill hook up was very simple, my cordless Dewalt worked great as the power supply. The operating directions were simple and the intuitive design makes it very easy to set and release the wire cable. I have a come-along but the cable is way too short. The 40 foot long cable is great! I haven't used this for lifting heavy items off the floor in my garage, but it will be in the future now that I have it. 750 pounds is right in the middle for a lot of jobs. If I need more capacity, I'll get a bigger one. Right now this works fine for my purposes and the cost was reasonable.

Anything over 500 lbs would need a heavier hoist in my opinion. A drill should be 18 volts if lifting heavy items >100 lbs. A 14 volts will pick up lighter loads <100 lbs. The payout/disengage knob is very stiff at first. Needs slight lubrication and some operating to free it up. The gearing is good, and understandably slow, so get something else for snatching or speedy lifts. Good household/light lifting hoist. I bought it to lift a heavy chair/walker in my car, but it’s bulky to work around in a car. But it can be done!

Works great for small jobs.

Exactly what I needed to extract some partially buried items from a storm damaged home, I’ll never be without one again. Can’t wait to see how it works for moving and clearing debris around the property.

This is a good winch for pulling about 300 lb but any more than that your drill will strain to pull it and may burn out. I'm using a 24 volt brand new drill. Make sure you put the drill on low speed if you're pulling something more than 200 lb. I used this for lifting 120 lb and it lifted it without a problem. You can also hook up any other gearbox to this winch instead of using a drill. I hooked up a worm gear motor and it was very powerful and super quiet. The gear ratio of this drill winch is about 94:1.

works well until it doesn't. broke the 2nd time i used it, within a week of purchase. wrote manufacturer asking for a replacement but they never replied

You need this! Before I purchased I read the reviews biggest concern was that it was slow. I disagree I think it works exactly as it should for speed. I use it to winch a boat up a hill on my property. Works amazing! This is one of those tools you never knew you needed until you have it. compact, and portable. Very powerful Highly Recommend!

I use it with a 3/8 cordless drill and it pulls great. I have used it to lift a v-8 motor, pull a tree out of the road and load a broke down side by side onto a trailer with ease.

Very helpful & easy to use winch. Also the price is very reasonable.

This thing is a game changer, bought this for sole purpose of bean bagging ropes up high into trees to hold tarps camping. The winch pulls ropes so tight I can have the tarp high enough to stay dry and have fire. People always walk by and say wow how did you do that?! 🤣🤣

Good little winch.

So far it does the trick!
