I am interested in buying one of your worm gear hand winches...do you know if ANY of them come with a free wheelinch option on them. Id like one that can free wheel if need be. Thanks

Expert Reply:
By design, a worm gear winch will not freewheel. The fact that the load will stop if the handle is released is one of the main benefits of the worm gear winch.
If you'd care to reply and tell me what exactly you're needing a winch for, I'd be happy to make some recommendations.
