   I ran across this neat hand winch and was wondering how well they really worked.

	I've read that a bunch of trail crews that do trail work on the Appalachian Trail use these for moving big rocks around on the trail (or off of it). They are good if you want a very controlled pull from what I understand though I personally haven't ever used one.

	Pretty cheap comparatively. A lot more work than a winch though
