Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

A little bit pricey for its quality. The quality is good for an economical handle. Bought this while preparing for an overnite race to canada and back as a spare.

The 8 model clears the stanchion on my 26 foot macgregor. Fits my winch perfectly for a 26' sailboat. The floating feature is nice when i drop it overboard.

Very lightweight compared to the old handles. Strong enough to grind up the mainsail halyard on our hunter 336. The lever release works smoothly and its light and easy to turn.

Its a thick, flexible plastic. The aluminum appears to be strong. It has a nice upward angle to it, light weight and visible.



Cons

The first time i inserted it in my #36 barient winch, it wouldn't come out! It's a totally useless defective wrenches handle! Doesn’t come out of the winch easily. These were installed and fell apart in less than a month.

    The bottom square part is plastic not metal so i don’t think it will hold up under heavy usage but time will tell

    Would have given 5 stars if it floated better and a little above the water or made it more colorful


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Not sure i would use it as a primary handle on large winches as it is not that long
