A 4:1 gear ratio with smooth, single-speed ratcheting makes the TEKTON 1,200-lb. Hand Winch ideal for trailering or loading boats, personal watercraft, and lawn equipment. This winch is solidly constructed with heavy-duty aircraft cable, a zinc-plated steel frame, and a drop forged hook. The three-position locking pawl allows forward and reverse ratcheting. An extra long, 9-inch handle makes cranking easier, and a comfort grip reduces hand fatigue.
