I love how many teams are using Mastercraft (or similar) GearWrenches as a ratcheting system this year for their winches.

Re: pic: 2791's Shifting Winch
we thought of using a gear wrench because it would have been easy to implement especially with our love of 1/2 hex. In the end we just decided to rely on the Dewalt Roll back pins.

Well, it's cheaper than the one you can find on McMaster, and one of the mentors used to sell them so I guess he had a few around

Re: pic: 2791's Shifting Winch
Actually it is a Craftsman, the Evolv Series. Still lifetime warranty, the ratchets work the same from both series, but the Evolv closes with screws instead of a snap ring. We did need to make a custom steel output shaft yesterday. I had the ratchet backwards and cim sheered the AM Al hex shaft in half! Needless to say I almost had a heart attach. But after we fixed it I thought "that is a lot of torque" so I guess it is doing its job.

Just being picky - but the proper expression would be "that is a lot of torque".
