Got it today! It was nearly out of the envelop, but it made it! Thanks Leon, that puts the next meal we share on me :)

I could use it :)

Frans, it's not that I want more power, I simply want enough power to meet my expectations. I DONT want to have to take the drill off to crank by hand. The Super can be had for 20-30 bucks more than the Hole, I don't see a reason not to get it. I wanted to make sure it would do the deed...

For lifting applications I use 1/2" high modulus lines that offer little to no stretch and ridiculously high working loads. My main 1/2" lifting line is rated to 22klbs, which in a static lift is far more than the GRCS is designed to put out. On real heavy lifts I'll use a double or tripple...

On heavier loads it will slip, the newer version will slip less because of the knurling. With 1/2" high mod lines, it doesn't slip as much with more reasonable loads. I rarely use anything larger than 1/2" in it now, although I used to use 9/16" on occasion.

A quick Google search shows the prices for a Super Hawg vary from $260-$514. A couple of the cheaper ones are remanufactured (units returned after they're purchased, sent in, checked out and sent back out) but still come with a full warranty. Makes you wonder what these people are thinking...

It's not the price that concearns me, it's "what is my money going to get me?" Does your 7.5amper lift pieces with some athority? What I don't want is to buy a $300 drill only to find it will take the slack out of the rope, leaving me to do the rest. I want to be able to lift any piece the...

Hmmm, I know Frans has a Hole Hawg which is a 7.5amp drill that he has used for lifting people with the GRCS. Milwaukee also makes a Super Hawg, 13 amps/2.5HP, 21lb, 1/2" drill. I think that would do dandy, but I'll wait for Frans to comment or Greg to respond to my email I'm fixing to send.

Hey thanks Leon! Let me figure out how to power it before you send it off. Do you know what it's made out of? It looks shiny so I'm guessing either stainless or chrome plated?

The truck mount seems hugely long for the loads it would be seeing. What's the best way to power the winch? I've got a cranckfest of a job coming up. I was thinking about using a starter motor. Make a bracket to attach a handle, weld a key to whichever end to allow it to turn the winch in...

DUI methinks.

I've got the only one I've seen around here. That's the way I like it ;)

I use mine rarely because I live in a rural area where I can get my lift to most things and can bomb them away. Even still, I estimate the GRCS has earned me at least 1000% ROI in the past 3 years. I consider that a sound financial investment. Overpriced? What should the GRCS cost? Sure...

I also use mine rarely, but it sure is a playa when it comes out :)

I bought mine used :)

And/or I could bring mine.
