OPENROAD 1600lbs Hand Winch Boat Winch, Hand Crank Winch with 10m (32ft) Cable Manual Winches, Two-Way Adjustable Boat Trailer Winch, Corrosion Resistant Towing Winches (1600lbs)

Bought to replace the one on our boat trailer that broke at the boat landing. Great quality and works like a champ. Easy to install, cranks easily, strap is well made too. We’ve had our boat out on the water probably 10-12 times already this summer with using this winch.

Made well strap seem like it might break,I don't pull real hard ,handle can be reversed right and left side,good price

I built an 8x12 observatory building with a roll-off roof in my back yard. With solar panels for shingles, the roof weighed about 1000 pounds and was thus too heavy to move with muscle power alone. The winch is mounted on the east wall, and along with two or three 4-inch pulleys (depends on whether opening or closing) makes for an easy job of moving the roof. An added benefit was that during construction (after the winch was already mounted) it came in handy for lifting the 60-pound outboard rafter "ladder: assemblies and the OSB sheets that went on the roof and upper walls of the roof assembly.

Used 3 times and handle stripped. I may just have received a defective unit, but they offered me a full refund which is all I can ask.

Junk. The holes didn’t line up with original factory holes on my boat trailer like it stated in the description for one but I can get past that. Today was the first I tried using this item. So it’s dark out and I was loading my boat out of the lake, get it all setup and ready to start cranking. I made it half a crank and it wouldn’t move anymore. So I got my flashlight out and looked, one of the teeth on the small gear was bent or mis-shaped so it was catching when I was trying to crank. Really ticked me off. So in my mind, I’ll just click the deal over and try to avoid using that gear… yeah no go, that isn’t possible. Instead, the bent tooth pushed the selector switch up out of the way causing the winch to free spool and it took my knuckle with it. So I had to try to free spool winch my boat up on the trailer. 3500lb winch right? My boat weighs just under 2000 keep in mind. It completely stripped out the handle and snapped the squared off bolt that the handle attaches to…. Definitely junk, definitely not rated for anywhere close to 3500 lbs. maybe 500lbs. Garbage. I will be demanding my money back. By the way, my boat is stuck at the lake until I can go buy a new winch somewhere so that’s awesome..

Fit good works good I'm very happy

So far has been great for the pontoon

Quality is so-so. It will do boat winch things, but look it over very closely before install. I found weld spatter on both sides of the bail walls which would have lead to premature webbing wear. The bolts should be sent with a locknut not a regular nut that will just loosen and rattle off going down the road which could cause a serious safety risk! Packaging left something to be desired my handle has paint damage straight out of the box and should have been wrapped separately.
