    I need some help locating this type of winch. Used them one time on one trailer and they worked great. Especially over the boxes on the trailer.

    That's an Ancra EZ Torque winch, any Ancra dealer should be able to order them for you.

    I have never used those. Man, i think id like to have some on my East stepdeck. Sometimes i get in positions where i cant get a good bite on the winch because im so low to the ground in places and i just dont have room for my winch bar. @MJ1657 and the other stepdeck fellas might beable to relate to this.

    I have no experience using these, but look like they would be awsome. Says rated for 5500 lbs too!

    For the guys that have bought them, I found some locally for around 80 bucks a piece. Does that seem about right to you guys?

    That winch intrigues me, I'm thinking of using that on a light duty gig project I have in mind..

    Can you get the straps tight enough, using a crank?

    It looks like mechanical advantage using a worm gear... but i would wonder the same thing
