[TowerTalk] Looking for a Fulton winch

[Patrick Greenlee]

I think your choice is just fine and if you get tired of aging in place 
while spining and spinning and spinning the handle, the torque reduction 
ratio is such that a good strong  hand held electric drill could turn 
it.  Something like  a Milwaukee Hole Hog right angle drill is powerful 
enough and is geared down sufficiently. If you don't intend to use it 
much you might be happy with something similar from Harbor Freight.
