Do you still have the winch handle? How much time is left on the warranty?

FIND a Milwawkee 1/2" right angle 28 volt Lithium battery drill. Add the adapter. Factory rebuilt drill on E-BAY and google the adapter. It is unstoppable. My wife drives me up our 80 foot mast. We use it to furl & tack our 135% jib. Drive it only in 'forward' and make sure the right angle part is arranged for 2:1 reduction.

Just remember the Milwaukee is very heavy. Make sure you strap it down when storing. Winchrite has nice holder to secure it in place and is quite light.

A 20 foot fall can kill. Make friends with a skinny monkey esk teen to go up while you run the winch.

Do they make an adapter for starting lawnmowers?

My experience with the Milwaukee 28v right angle is that the batteries don't have a long life. They probably should have a better overload protection.

Otherwise, the unit with the winch bit adapter is a good way, if you are careful, to electrify winches. There can be a pretty good recoil when the winch is loaded up. A sprained wrist or worse is a risk.
