I saw a video once where a guy was using a cordless dewalt right angle drill as
a winch rite. looked really cool! My new boat came with an electric winch on

face forward or aft while grinding, and let someone else ca
Dave,
before you spend money on Winchrite, consider using a cordless drill with an
adapter. I bet that there are multiple sources; I found this one as the first
on on Goggle: http://www.thecranker.com/. And here: http://www.winchbit.com/.
The $40 might be worth a try. No association with either
