It’s certainly cheap enough, Dick.

With 570 inch-lbs. of torque, you better have a #30 or #40 2-speed winch to get that sail up. I just wonder about it’s quality, etc. and how long the battery will last and all of that.

The HILTI that I use has twice the torque and, to be blunt, 10 times the quality and a perfect warranty. My drill, battery and charger run a bit more than $300.00 in the USA. Compared to the boat show “impulse” purchases that we all succumb to, a Hilti or Milwaukee drill is money well spent.

Hiya Carl -

It’s a HILTI SF 10W - A22 with the smaller of the two available batteries.
