The winch can be temporary or permanently mounted to either a ball-mount hitch or a flat surface. A parallel-shaft gear ensures efficient power for rolling wheeled trailers and vehicles up to 6,000 pounds, pulling things up to 5,000 pounds through water, or dragging items up to 2,000 pounds. The winch shuts down automatically if overloaded. And, a toggle remote control lets you control the action from a distance. The winch is equipped with a 20-foot cable that reaches easily from the front of any truck back to a standard trailer--a nice feature for towing the boat in snug up against the trailer. --Brian D. Olson Review: Great portable winch. - Let's not get carried away. This is not a big winch like the ones you see fastened to the bumpers of monster 4-wheelers. It is much simpler than that. And for what it is designed to do it works very well. For infrequent light duty winching this is the perfect tool. It has a built in handle for carrying, detachable power and control cords, and enough cable to get you within 25 feet or so of whatever you are winching. It has a 2000 lb rating, and will pull that much easily. Not quickly, but easily. It has a manual crank that can be attached to the shaft. It also has a very handy mounting plate designed to slip over the ball on a ball-hitch. The clutch is manual, and drag is set by means of a threaded knob on the shaft. It is very simple to use. Simply connect the power and control cables, loosen the clutch, pull the cable to whatever you need to pull and hook it up. Then tighten the clutch and press the button on the control handle and start winching. Be patient. There is only one speed and it is slow. But it works. I have tested the winch by hanging it from a beam and picking up the front of a truck with no problem. Then we really put it to the test by using it to pull our garden tractor out of the mud. It was a long pull so we needed to add a tug strap but it was easy enough to hook up. The pull was painless. The winch is slow because it gets it's power through gearing. It is quite a drain on a car battery, so it helps to leave your engine running while you pull. Not something you would want to use every day but very handy to have around. For my money this is a 5-star tool. Great for the boat owner or for use around the farm. Review: Winch slow but works if you do not over load it. - So far so good, I used it to pull a boat out of the water across a road, onto a cradle, maybe 1200 lbs, its pulled onto rollers on a wooden ladder frame, not across sticky ground. Not a huge grade up, but at first its tough up the bank to the roller gear I drop and then remove. I use a Deep Cycle Gel cell from the boat, (120 amp hr) It works fine. I do not double block. Its very slow, but sure, nice thing is I can hang it on a bolt or hitch, remove it from the cradle and store. Only issue, no reverse, and locking unlocking mechanism on the twist wheel where you put on the handle can get jammed, takes the handle and some effort it the nut slips on the handle mount and tightens on the one under against the plastic, second nut holds the handle off the wheel. Cursing and pliers. Check it before use. Get the right spacing and tighten, lock nut perhaps or lubricated washer might help. ## Features - WINCH APPLICATION: Best used for car, trailer, truck, and boat winch - EASE OF USE: 12-volt winch is portable and electric; Convenient built-in carrying cable - DURABLE DESIGN: Electric winch is designed to withstand up to 2,000 pounds of pulling capacity; Galvanized steel cable and hook for additional safety - CAPACITY 6,000 lbs. rolling; 5,000 lbs. marine; 2,000 lbs. pulling; Max boat weight: 5,000 lbs.; Max boat size: 18 ft. - INCLUDES: Includes steel mounting plate, 30 ft. steel cable (29 working ft.), remote control, hand crank, and 20 ft. power cable - Support: For performance specifications, pulling capacity, installation, and more, see document titled "User Manual" located in the Technical Specifications section of this page. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000COTKDM | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,878,971 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #3,245 in Towing Winches #93,042 in Material Handling Products | | Brand | Master Lock | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (568) | | Date First Available | January 1, 2008 | | Exterior | galvanized steel | | Item Weight | 25.4 pounds | | Item model number | 2953AT | | Manufacturer | Master Lock | | Manufacturer Part Number | 2953AT | | Product Dimensions | 14 x 12 x 10 inches | ## Images ![Master Lock Electric Winch, Portable 12-Volt DC Electric Winch, 2953AT - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Gfq8Q7shS.jpg) ![Master Lock Electric Winch, Portable 12-Volt DC Electric Winch, 2953AT - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51jnn7Rcn0L.jpg) ![Master Lock Electric Winch, Portable 12-Volt DC Electric Winch, 2953AT - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51E8WkQNEBL.jpg) ![Master Lock Electric Winch, Portable 12-Volt DC Electric Winch, 2953AT - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51J676FBrRL.jpg) ![Master Lock Electric Winch, Portable 12-Volt DC Electric Winch, 2953AT - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ZccOfu+6L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can the cable length be extended or do you have a longer cable model?** A: The cable is 30' long and is limited by the spool size. If you need something longer just add a length of cable or sling with hooks or shackles. Remember there is a duty cycle, but you can pull for 28' at a time.I think people are confusing the battery cable length with the actual winch pulling cable. Battery= 20', winch cable is 30'. **Q: have one of these housing broke but nobody i can find carries parts?** A: Im not sure about getting parts but I did see this winch at Wal mart being sold with a another name on it exact winch. May be able to look it up on WalMart.com and order the part. **Q: Is this portable as in battery operated or must it be wired into the vehicle temporarily?** A: Power outlets in vehicles are generally fused, fuse rating depends on the MFR. Possibly supporting the 20 amps, however cig-lighters are normally no long included, so the fuse rating might only be 10 amp. **Q: Do you have to plug it in** A: you plug on the cigaret plug or battery on your own car. The cord is long enough, although I found the battery in the back of my car which made the perfect connection. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great portable winch. *by H***S on September 14, 2009* Let's not get carried away.

I bolted this on to the front of my trailer so that I could pull stuff up a set of ramps and drag to the front to balance the load. My ramps are long but the grade must be at least 30*. This little beast pulled Bubba the Steam Cleaner right up the ramps and dragged it to the front of the trailer without a noticeable change in pitch or effort. Bubba is ~300# with wheels only on the back and two rubber snubbers on the front. I had to keep the cable held up a bit so Bubba jumped a bit on the ramps. I had some rubber left on the ramps from the scraping and I could care less. Excellent performance. After unloading Bubba, I loaded a BIG engine crane. Rolled it to the back of the trailer, looped the cable around the top and the winch easily pulled it over and dragged it to the front. I can't ask for more than that. BTW, after I loaded Bubba one of my off-road buddies told me that you need to leave the engine running while winching to protect your battery.
