[TowerTalk] LM-70 Tiltover Winch

[Dennis Vernacchia]

If you happen to have a strong Reversible  1/2 inch chuck drill
like a Milwaukee Hole Hawg or similar, do yourself a favor
and buy a Fulton KW3000 52 to 1 ratio worm gear winch
currently on sale at Grainger for $143
( Find someone that ha a Grainger Account as they don't sell retail to
consumer )

You can turn by hand crank but will take quite a while to tilt tower
up and down ( which you hopefully do often ) due to  great 52 to 1 ratio
and not brake needed as it will not freewheel if you let go of handle
