Review on SoB Boat Trailer Winch 3200Lbs, Boat Winch With Strap And Safety Hook, 10M (32Ft) - Hand Winch, 2 Way Ratchet And 2 Speed Hand Crank Winch - 4:1/8:1 Gear Ratio, Come Along Winch For ATV UTV SUV by Mike Bucher

It was inexpensive and all I needed to lift a kayak to the ceiling of my garage. Not much of a load, certainly not any where near the 600 pounds claimed by the winch. One aggravating thing was the quirky operation of the winch direction and latching mechanism. It is difficult to set the direction and to lock the winch. If you have a load on and make a change and end up with the wrong setting, you can lose control of the load as the winch unwinds with great gusto. Ouch!
