Review on πŸ‹οΈ SuperHandy Electric Portable Winch Capstan Hoist: Powerful 1000-2000 Max Pulling Force for Forestry, Hunting, Garden, Off-Road | Brushless Motor, Li-Ion Battery, Low Stretch Rope Included by Jimmy Hargrove

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Decent but not quite what I expected

I also have a SuperHandy Blower/Vacuum/Mulcher and a SuperHandy Disinfector/Blower and it's very handy that they all use the same charger and battery. I also installed an electric winch with plastic rope (different brand) on the tractor and it is different day and night. Both have their advantages and limitations. This one is obviously much lighter and can be used in much tighter and tighter spaces that the tractor cannot reach. However, it can also be very embarrassing on your own, because you have to constantly control the suction flow of the rope. An automatic extra spool for winding up excess rope would be great so you have time for things like steering and moving branches. That being said, don't let what you're pulling get rolled over or snagged on anything else, etc. It only takes a second of slight indiscretion to cause a headache. If you loosen the tension a bit and then reapply it, it's not so hard that both ends suddenly end up accidentally twisting in the same direction, and soon they become so tight that it's hard to let go and untangle. Motor performance and reliability is fantastic, and battery life is adequate, but every step of handling your rope feels a little awkward, including putting it away when you're done. You almost need an electric cable reel/winder to conveniently roll up and store the cable when it's done.

Pros
  • Electric Winches
Cons
  • Weight
