Cordless Power Winch
Some time ago i saw an article about cruisers using a cordless angle driver such as a Dewalt etc for powering their manual winches.
Any experience or knowledge of this.
The two speed units 0-500rpm with 18 volts appear suitable?.

Discussed here at great length previously. Use the search Button above a look for "Winch Buddy" or "Milwaukee"

FWIW...
