Bravex Trailer Winch Boat ATV Portable Hand Winch 3500 lbs

Built solid, install was easy. Love the two speeds and removable handle. Super easy to crank.

This winch is exactly as described and functions perfectly on my fishing boat trailer. I usually leave the handle on, but since it is quick release, when unspooling a lot of the line, I take off the handle so it isn't swinging around. Such a nice feature!I've been using this a few months now, and it works great.Thanks for reading my review!

I recently bought a wood chipper to help me in maintaining my yard - grinding downed branches and culled small trees into useful mulch. The thing is, the machine weighs about 450 pounds. It would be a chore for me to pull it into my garden shed, since there is a fairly steep ramp and a lip into the entrance. When I saw this winch on Bravextools a light bulb went off in my head. This was a perfect item to pull the machine into my shed with very little effort! Once in, I can disconnect the winch cable and finagle the chipper into its place.I just mounted the winch into the back wall of the shed today, and if I do say so myself it's a pretty solid mount. I shouldn't have any problems at all using this winch for my intended purpose. I haven't tried it yet, as first I need to clear out some stuff from the shed to make room for the new machine, but I'm certainly looking forward to the first time cranking that handle and gently guiding the chipper into its new home!The winch itself is very solid and well-built using heavy-gauge metals. Everything works perfectly mechanically and the cranking action is very smooth, as is the directional change lever. I know winches, having owned a couple of boats with trailers over the course of the past few years, and I can confidently say that this Bravex model is a good one.

This boat trailer winch from Bravex is a huge improvement from the previous boat trailer winch. I ordered this for my husband who has a lovely vintage 60s aluminum v-bottom boat. The old winch was probably the original and in pretty rough shape. The crank didn't really work anymore and the hook was nearly rusted through. He was able to remove the old winch and replace with this new one in a couple of hours. The existing holes didn't quite line up and he had to drill into the frame for new ones, but other than that- he said install was a breeze. He's happy, so I'm happy!
