Milwaukee 90 degree Hole Hawg will hoist my main to the top. I have to
finish manually.
It means that I don't have to leave the cockpit to pull it up by hand when
solo.
Manually grinding it up would be a killer.
It will hoist a person up (others have done it).

You will twist around, if the line is free. If you are climbing the mast, you
can use it to prevent the twisting. A loop around the mast helps a lot.

I bought one last year for main halyard and manual anchor windless. Very little
boat use this year so I have not tried yet. I do have a source for the winch
attachment if you need one. I got turned on to this by NEMA, (New England
Multihull Association) they all use them for the huge square top

Wouldn't it take as much effort to hoist the bag of chain up as to hoist a
person up?I would do the same and use a corded drill alongside.

I'd rather do this at the dock and use a corded angle drill like
this $150 one from Harbor Freight
https://www.harborfreight.com/13-amp-2-speed-12-in-heavy-duty-rig
I used a friend's bit and 1/2" right angled drill to hoist me up the mast.
I was able to get almost all the way up on a full charge. Works great, but
if I couldn't borrow the drill and bit, I wouldn't buy one just for that
purpose.

A rigger I know uses a cordless Milwaukee right angle drill to hoist his crew
(or for them to hoist him.)
This is a serious tool and uses at least a 20V battery—I doubt a 12V drill
would work for any serious lift/grind.
Back a few years ago it went for ~$400.
