HI Mike,

I have not used a H.F. winch.  However I have used a few of their 
products and consider them disposable.

It's one of those things that you need now and then but don't bet your 
life on them.

I have a US Towers HDX-555 (if I remember correctly the number) and 
would not use a H.F. anything involved in raising, lowering or folding over
the tower.

With the investment I have in my tower and accessories as well as what 
you probably have in your tower and accessories please go and buy a 
quality product from a quality provider.
