I've never used one, but have considered buying one.  They are slow, but so is a come-along.

9 lives - 9 pellets... Coincidence?

I wouldn't buy one to use a dedicated hoist.  I have an electric hoist in my shop that was pretty cheap, but it's mounted.  I wanted it tight to the ceiling.  If you want a hanging hoist that's somewhat portable, they make these that run on 120v.

You got me looking at them again.  If you're set on a Warn, here's a 750 pound version.  Wire/nylon rope choice, also.  There are also a bunch of Chinese versions at half the price.

Heavy user in the fall/spring for logging/deadfall forest cleanup. It's GTG.

Get the synthetic rope.

I use a Makita brushless drill to power it and it can move a ridiculous amount of wood on one battery.

I dedicated the drill to just that winch.

didn't know there were versions that just used the batteries; have to keep looking;
definitely would get the synthetic cable version vs. wire rope.

anyone use the chineeze brands? kinda leery of those even with additional warranty
