Ever seen an Easy Crank Winch Socket?

[Hawg]

Has anyone tried one of these? Check out the videos on utube. I'm just not sure if I want to be the first to buy one around here, I fall for everything and it is $50 with shipping. My 8 x 16 is a hard cranking house, this might work but I wonder how many times a battery lasts for.

This thing looks incredible!

Got a link? I have had a couple on boat trailors,Dont know if they are what you speak of?? The hand crank winches I used were a extra gear added.More cranking but less resistance.Just geared down for heavier loads.

Just looked at utube,Heck you can do that your self for using a battery operated drill motor.Just replace or grind down the spindel to accept a impact socket.

I can't imagine it working very well on my house it is a bear to crank. Would need one hell of a do drill.

You guys got to see this. I hope I'm not breaking any rules, there are no competitors that are sponsors.

Boy that would work wonders for guys with bad shoulders!

Good idea, but how is this different from a normal socket or impact socket?

Doesn't Sears or any other socket manufacturer make one that would fit?

Another question is-that house has compound pulleys on it which might make it actually easier to lift than my single. Is that thinking proper math? Mine is a real bear to crank, how in the world can a drill do that? Another thought, that winch must have brakes on it. If I take off my handle and the safety I'm going to be in freewheel, I wonder how that will work.

I noticed that their comment on the YouTube video contains the HSOforum address The address is incorrect. Missing the "n" in winch.

I contacted him and let him know.

http://www.winchdrivertools.comI went with ICNUTS that cheap easy crank winch socket was junk I have been using ICNUTS for 4 years now great product life time warranty winchdrivertools.com there tool did not damage my winch shaft like the eazy crank socket did. I had a friend with an ez up adapter and that also damaged his winch no fun having handles fall off winch shafts.

This is my OLD post. I went with Nutz too. The easy crank guy never answered the phone or returned repeated emails. Nutz guy answered and price on his winches was very good, he even offered me free parts to fix a winch I had on my boat!

Yeah I was really impressed by ICnuts Company wish every place had service like that these days . Hopefully he will succeed I know it's a small family business that is really trying hard. I know it's hard to build a business these days but I found his pricing below most others and they do free priority shipping as well and his tool system is lifetime warranty I think they will do good I seen a post last year that they donated to veterans at icog and that's how I found there company meant allot to me .
