I thought I had brought this up before, but I can not find the thread...

anyway, after a few years with them I think these are worth the price.

A New Approach to Winch Handle Design. Lewmar's patented 'OneTouch' mechanism allows you to squeeze the release button (which runs the entire length of the handle) and pull to unlock in one quick, easy motion - no more twisting, jiggling or fiddling around. To lock-in, simply squeeze and insert into winch. So you spend less time fiddling around and more time sailing. Features: 10 alloy handle. Fast, easy, one-handed removal - just squeeze and lift. Lightweight, forged construction. Corrosion resistant for years of performance under harsh conditions. Available in Standard Grip, Power Grip (knob) and Double Grip

They actually work, easy to use... don't require oil... good gear.

So now....with said wench handle....

what exactly happens when you touch the wench once?



Or can it only be used with a one touch wench?

to carry her off per say....

So if you in fact had a one touch wench....with no way to carry her off to your boat....

you could attach a wench handle and quite handily make off with her!




do they make a hard to get wench handle?

How about an admiral edition...for carrying the unwilling admiral off to your boat!


the possibilities are limitless!!!!
 Grin



one question...where does one put said handle.....to uhm....
mabey I don't want to know.... Shocked
