[jkk04]

One of the members on this site gave me inspiration for the cordless winch from the hand winch.
it was a good experiment

LOL!!! Vibrator to boot! But cool. Good job. You really need a workbench, though......

I didn't expect a lot for the cordless drill on the winch.
That is the reason I made it as quick and simple as possible.
It was just a fun experiment.
Actually, I already used to do it on the floor even though I had a nice workbench

IF that wasn't a cheapo winch, you would have had much better luck.

Like I told you in the other thread, my winch can easily be run with a decent drill and pull a big load...

Yes, I bought this winch that is made in China and cheap because usage is minimal.
Maybe a few times or less in the future of my life..
But it was fun to make the adapter and I tried to pull my riding mower.
It works well for riding mower. That is enough for me at the moment.
Thank you again.

This works for flatbed / equipment trailers

I wish someone would make an adapter for gooseneck trailers. A cordless, low speed 1/2” electricians drill would be perfect for raising/lowering my trailer. One of these days I’ll get around to it.

They aren't hard to make, I see my neighbor has one for his trailer...

Start out with a piece of tubing, to keep everything centered, so you don't end up with a LOT of vibration, when you are running the drill.

Only 2k actually --- here's my 8k version

The things you do when you never learned to weld

If you already have a suitable drill making an adapter is pretty easy. Without access to a metal lathe I’d find a socket that fits over the crank handle and drill it sideways so it can be pinned on the shaft. Then weld an extension in the socket and cut the ratchet end off so it fits in a drill. Or if you have access to a metal lathe it’s a pretty easy job to make an adapter.

This is what I rigged up back before cordless. The horse trailer was parked by the shop, so power was available.
And the campsites had power also:

What adapter is that and how is it connected to drill?

It is one that I made, connected the same way the chuck was connected.

The two speed right angle adapter came with the drill. I removed the chuck and used the bolt to fasten my adapter.
