Interesting - definitely cheaper - $39.95, vs $76.72 (cheapest I could find on a quick search.) The worm gear rating is 2000 pounds, vice 1500 pounds, and the ratio is 40 : 1, as opposed to 5 : 1 with Fulton. Eight times easier, and 8 times longer to lower raise, but it just maybe a bit safer, though I've never had a Fulton winch fail on me. Good to know. Thanks!

I am not sure that Fulton K-1550 winch is a good choice. The better one is a
worm drive available in automobile supply store here in Toronto and it is
lot less expansive.
Do search on Princess Auto.
