🏋️ Reese Towpower 74337 600 lb Capacity Winch, Black - Superior Performance for Heavy-Duty Towing Review

I have not used them on a trailer and to be honest I wouldn't use them on my trailer due to their low payload. However, they are great for running things in garages. I've used them with paracord and they work great for lighter loads.

Hired my girl in the attic of my house to open and close the huge triangular vent at one end of the house. In a very cold winter, I wanted to be able to close the vent and let some warm air and cold air inside. It does the trick for that 10 foot wide and 4 foot tall vent.

This crank mechanism is simple and straightforward. It holds two kayaks over my carport with a cable and is always taut. It does not rust and does not require lubrication to maintain normal operation. I'm very happy with it, although I have no way of comparing it to other devices, it just does the job. Highly recommended.

Bought for my bow string table and bow tuning station. Works perfectly! Attention potential buyers. This is a winch with a ratchet in one direction, it doesn't rotate in the opposite direction, and changing the handle and components to the other side, while possible, is difficult and requires additional holes to be drilled. Great product for the price!

These are great heavy duty winches. They do their job well. The only thing I think is wrong. And the only reason they don't get 5 stars is because it takes them forever to coil a cable or rope of any appreciable length. My application is to crank my bike up to the ceiling of my garage and it takes almost 200 handles to get the bike up to the ceiling which is only about 12 feet. It is too long.

Need a winch to raise/lower the backyard ham radio mast. I didn't do the math but assumed it was the right size to hold at least 50 feet of my 3/16 inch vinyl coated steel cable and it worked. Mounted it on a 4x4" rack and voila! Does exactly what I need. Good quality, reliable brakes and ratchet. Will definitely be buying more if needed!

Because the center shaft is too small to wrap the wire I'm using, it bends causing the cable to bend untangled. My wire is 3/8" but it might be better on thinner wire. Everything works fine, the thick wire only bends at the beginning of the length for the first two turns. Seems to be a bad design oversight, but it spins and stays on. Seems hard

It appears to be solidly built, although I'm not sure how well it will hold up at or near its maximum weight after repeated use. If you plan to use it to raise or lower objects over 400 pounds, I would use a highly rated winch just to be on the safe side. For my use (raising and lowering a hop vine trellis weighing no more than 100 pounds) this works great. Under the influence of the elements, it does not rust at all. You really can't beat that for the price. Edit: After 2 years of non-stop…
