This has to be the best place to ask...

I need a reliable drill for spinning winches, ie, we put a hook in the
chuck, slot that into the winch and spin it... It beats hand winding!

We once had a Krell drill which lasted 5 years, the last three drills
(while
having similar specs on paper) have lasted about a fortnight each.

We are
looking for something powerful, but it's the torque and gearing which are
most important. Somethng which can be set to spin in either direction
steadily at 300 rpm with lots of power would be brilliant.

Sounds like one of the 110volt Makita units with the hammer in chucks would
be idea. Torque is enormous !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
