[TowerTalk] Fulton 2500 winch single or dual speed?

[Jon Pearl - W4ABC]

Hi Gerald,

Have you given any consideration to a worm gear drive?

Dutton-Lainson lists several conventional 'brake' style hand winches on 
their site but they also offer several worm gear styles.

WG2000: http://www.dutton-lainson.com/proddetail.php?prod=11001

Description: "2000 lb Worm Gear Winch with 5/8 inch hex drive. Comes 
with mating handle that can be removed easily without tools. Also allows 
the winch to be operated with a power drill hooked directly to the drive 
shaft."

Specs and Model Comparison (WG2000 in middle of list):

I'm impressed that their products carry a warranty; are made in America; 
they offer specs and they actually list repair parts.



73,
