If the McMaster winch turns out to be less than perfect, take a look
at Dutton-Lainson brake winches. Holds a suspended load even if you
let go of the handle. A little more money, but worth it.

Bill, I will try it this weekend, but I have hopes that it will work
as advertised (unlike the HF winch). It is made in USA, also. I looked
at the Dutton winches, they look very nice and if I knew, I might have
bought one, but as it stands, I think that I have a combo that can do
its job.

I will try the crane in a day or two.
