As many have said the hook is small...it works fine for me and the quality of this is WAY better than ones costing twice as much. I got some harbor F. ones and this is makes those feel like toys.

I needed a way to raise my mower up to remove and sharpen the blades. I built a frame to my rafters in my building and mounted this to it. Worked great to raise it up, remove the blades, sharpen and reinstall. Very economical for the price, sturdy and worked great!

Excellent little winch. Well made and has a nice strap and solid hook. The lock/ unlock is a little different, but once I got it figured out it worked like a champ. I am using this on a small trailer to cary a 500' hovercraft, so needed it to winch the machine onto 10' skids from level ground. Was not sure how well it would work, but it surprised me. Worked great. On my 10' x 2" x 6" skids I also installed "Marine Sliders", slick plastic runners. This helped quite a bit winching up the craft. Good value for the price on this winch. Found a similar winch locally for nearly twice as much, so I think the price is exceptional. Five stars.================10/7/14 Update: While I still like this winch and consider it a good value, I have found two "anomalies" with it so far. First, when winching a boat up onto the trailer, you need to pay attention to the winch strap as if it is not winding on the reel straight it can curl and double under itself. You just need to pay attention to this and keep the strap straight. The second item I just discovered was the pin holding the crank handle; the opposite side of this pin has a bushing installed through the winch body. This bushing keeps the pin straight when operating the winch handle. While cranking the machine onto the trailer the handle felt "loose". I found that this bushing had slid up the pin and inside the winch body. This is to say that there does not appear to be anything holding the bushing in place, like a pin or any locking mechanism. My solution was to push the bushing back into its place and put a little silicone adhesive on both sides. So far that seems to keep it in place where it belongs. Because of these minor issues I have bumped my review down to 4 stars. Still a decent winch.================11/6/14 Update: I found the small clip that holds the crank handle pin. It had fallen off and somehow got under the winch. I put it back on and put some clear silicone over it to hold it in place. I think this will solve the problem for good.

First and foremost this is an inexpensive winch but you would never know it by the feel of it.I use 5 winches for various things and this one with the strap is my first non cable winch.Pay attention to keeping it out of the sun as the sun destroys plastic in all forms.I use a cable version of this to raise and lower the base platform of my 30 ton hydraulic press when resetting the pins to different levels..I use a cable version of this to retrieve my boat on my big easy loader trailer.I use a very expensive version of this on the tongue to bring my utility trailer tongue to my tow vehicle.No more straining and maneuvering to hitch up in dirt and grass.I use a really old version of this to operate the boom on that trailer to lift things over 500 pounds into the trailerI seriously doubt you will find more winch for the moneyI do recommend spraying them down with 30 weight motor oil if they are left out in the rain as most of my winches are.Cable winches cables last much longer if they are coated with 30 wt. My 2 winches on my work jeep taught me the value of using an Amazon sure-shot spray can to apply oil to preserve the winches and cables. The energy to pull the cables is greatly reduced when alignment is not perfect. Since I discovered that the oil is essential I have gotten about 20 years on the 12 volt electric winch cables so far. The book tells you that and like many people I had to learn the hard way. Same with the springs in my garage door.
