Very powerful
Really great idea to let someone use their drill and save some money on a full powered winch. I hooked this up and pulled up a 200lb basket using my battery powered drill. No problem at all. I mean you have to take steps using a winch, but that aside, this is a very useful, cost effective took to help with lifting. I mainly have this so I can lift to the second floor at a job site and not real with having to pull power or use a heavy full on winch. I’m also going to use this on myself when working on my yearly tree trimmings. This thing is light enough to pack up and put away and powerful enough to feel comfortable that it is safe. I highly recommend this for anyone who uses baskets to pull up to the second floor or tree work.

Great For My Truck
I recently purchased the Fithoist Portable Drill Powered Winch, and I have to say, it has exceeded my expectations! With a lifting capacity of 750 lbs and a sturdy 40-foot wire rope, itâs perfect for a variety of tasks, from hauling heavy items to assisting with trailer loading.The ability to rotate the hook 360 degrees is a fantastic feature, providing versatility in tight spaces. It’s incredibly easy to use â just connect it to your drill, and you’re ready to go! The construction feels solid, and it gives me confidence in its performance.Overall, this winch is a great addition to any toolbox, especially for those who need an efficient and portable solution for lifting and dragging. Highly recommended for DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike!

A Must-Have Tool for Every Diyer & Great to have on a Roadtrips
I recently began clearing a family property that hasnât been touched in over 30 years, filled with junk and large trees that needed removal. I decided to give this portable winch a try, hoping it would help move larger items or load them onto a truck for disposal.What I Love About This Winch:Portability & Convenience:The fact that this winch doesnât need to be permanently mounted immediately caught my attention. Itâs powered by a standard portable drill, which is something most people already own. This makes it incredibly versatile and easy to use.Compact & Lightweight:At roughly 12 inches by 8 inches and weighing under 13 pounds, itâs compact enough to store in my truck or even a larger toolbox. Its portability makes it ideal for road trips, snowy weather emergencies, or general worksite use.Surprisingly Sturdy:I was impressed to find a steel cable instead of a synthetic rope, which I wasnât expecting at this price point. The winch comes with 40 feet of cableâplenty for most tasks. Adding a snatch block not only increases the reach but also doubles the pulling power, making it capable of handling heavier loads.Versatility:This winch is incredibly versatile, whether used to move heavy objects, clear debris, or even as an overhead hoist in a workshop. Its 750-lb pulling capacity is enough for most jobs, and with a snatch block, you can handle even heavier loads with ease.What Could Be Improved:While the winch performs flawlessly, Iâd love to see an option for a carry case or protective cover to keep it safe and organized. That said, given the affordable price, itâs not a dealbreaker, and I plan to find a small case to store it in my truck toolbox.This portable winch is a powerhouse that punches well above its weight class. It has handled every task Iâve thrown at it with ease. For the current price, itâs a fantastic deal and a tool I highly recommend for anyone needing a compact, reliable, and portable winch. I might even purchase a second one to keep at work!

Portable winch powered by your power drill
Notice: This product was received at no charge as part of the Amazon Vine program but this is an unbiased review.This is a cable winch that you power with your portable drill. Itâs got two large hooks at each end and about 40â of steel cable. Itâs compact at about 8 inches by 12 inches and it weighs about 12 Â½ lbs. Itâs small enough to carry with you in your truck or you can keep it out of the way in your shop. Itâs got a pretty good heavy-duty cable that wraps around the reel in the plastic housing carrying case. You extend the cable by pulling the release knob and the cable pulls out fairly easily. You use your own power drill to retract the cable. There are two variations of the winch, the 750 lbs and the 1500 lbs.I got the 750 lbs and it does move heavy things. There is a good amount of leverage it uses for the lift or pull, but that means it requires your drill to work pretty hard. The drill has to run at full speed for a minute or two just to retract the cable a couple of feet. You need to make sure youâve got a fully charged battery if you have a long heavy lift or pull.The winch does a good job pulling a up trailer or a small vehicle, or moving a big log, or it comes in real handy doing fencing and pulling the wires tight. The main thing is to be aware it puts strain on your drill and it drains the battery fairly quick, but that’s to be expected when you’re doing heavy work.
