Re: What is the best way to acquire winches?

If building one, throw a wrench in the system (literally). A ratcheting wrench can provide the ability for the motor to wind then stop (without stalling) and the wrench would take the load - would require a shifter though. We used this in 2014 for winding and releasing our shooter that year.
