Does exactly what you want it to and safely!
I have used this brake winch for a couple years now to lift and store the hard top to my jeep up to the ceiling in my garage. During the winter when my hard top is on the jeep I use a wood platform for storage and lift that up to the ceiling. I have never had an issue with the brake slipping. I am very happy with this winch!

Winch for a lifting device
I like the idea of no release lever to unwind the cable but there must be a minimum weight on the cable to unwind.

Great product!
We use a winch for raise and lower metal stairs on our dock on the lake. The winches that were installed were free wheeling and a small child could have been injured. This winch is safe as the the handle stays put even under a load. Great porduct!

DEER BLIND
This winch made an excellent winch for deer corn in a 55 gallon barrel. The winch works wonders even my grandson can work it who is 9 years old.

Dutton Lainson Winch with Automatic Brake
excellent for elevating chandeliers from two story heights.
No need for a tall ladder for cleaning chandeliers, when the winch
can be operated from the attic thus eliminating installation, cleaning
with a very tall ladder.

A decent winch
overall, this was a great product. we're using 4 of them in a theatrical setting. easy to set-up and operate. however, one nut in the included hardware was not fully threaded, but it was a minor issue.

800 lb winch
Great winch for a jib crane I built and used it on. Worked better than I expected, stops and holds in any direction. Couldn't be happier with this product.

Perfect Application
I use a pair of these winches to raise and lower some docks as the lake level falls (and this year - rises). The brake mechanism makes them ideal for this purpose: I hook them on, take up the slack (whick locks the winches) then release the lock bolts on the docks. The docks don't move because the winches are supporting them. I can crank the docks up or down into the correct height for the current water depth, then tighten the lock bolts and remove the winches. It couldn't be any more simple.
