Same 750 lb drill-powered winch, but with synthetic rope on the drum instead of steel, and that changes how it feels to use more than the spec sheet suggests. Synthetic line does not kink, does not rust, and does not put broken wire strands into your palms when you drag it out to a load by hand, which on a portable tool you rig repeatedly through a job is the difference that actually registers. It is also lighter: this build weighs about 10.5 lb against 12 lb for the steel version. Everything else is unchanged. Your cordless drill supplies the power, there is a free-spool clutch for fast rigging, an integrated hawse fairlead, and rigging hooks at both the front and the rear so you can anchor and pull without mounting anything.

- 40' of synthetic rope, factory spooled

Features
Synthetic Rope, and Why It Matters on a Portable Winch
On a vehicle winch synthetic rope is mostly a safety argument. On a portable one it is an ergonomics argument too. You handle this rope constantly, walking it out to a load and back, and synthetic does not kink, does not rust into a stiff coil in the bottom of a bag, and does not leave broken wire strands in your hands. It also weighs less, which is why this build comes in at about 10.5 lb against the steel version's 12 lb.
750 lb of Pull From a Drill You Already Own
There is no motor in this winch. It takes drive from a standard portable drill through a socket on the side, so there is no second battery to charge and nothing to go flat between jobs. Warn rates it at 750 lb of single-line pull, a 50 percent increase over the previous generation of Drill Winch.
40' of Rope, a Third More Than the Old Model
Warn increased rope capacity by 33 percent when it redesigned the Drill Winch, so this one carries 40' of line. That is the difference between reaching a usable anchor point and having to move the whole setup.
Rigging Hooks Front and Rear
A hook at each end is what makes the tool practical. The rear hook anchors the winch to something solid, the front hook goes on the load, and you are pulling without a mounting point or a bracket. That is what separates a portable winch from a winch you happen to be able to carry.
Free-Spool Clutch
Disengage the clutch and pull the rope out by hand rather than running it out under drill power. On a tool that gets rigged and re-rigged several times through a job, that saves more time than anything else on the list.
Compact, With a Real Handle
About 10.5 lb with a moulded grip across the top and an integrated hawse fairlead built into the housing rather than bolted on. It fits in a tool bag, a quad rack or behind a truck seat, and there is nothing loose to lose.

Fit guidance: This is a portable tool, not a vehicle-mounted winch. There is no bolt pattern and no mount to buy: you anchor it with the rear rigging hook and pull with the front one. Two things to be clear about before ordering. First, the drill is not included, and the winch is only as capable as the drill driving it, so a low-torque or nearly flat drill will not deliver the full 750 lb. Second, 750 lb is a pulling rating for horizontal work. Do not use it to lift or suspend a load, and do not treat it as a substitute for a vehicle recovery winch.

Installation
Type: No installation. Rig it in place with the front and rear hooks · Time: A couple of minutes to rig · Tools: A standard portable drill, plus a strap or chain to anchor the rear hook · Difficulty: Easy
Anchor the rear hook to something genuinely solid with a strap or chain, not to something that will move or break. Disengage the free-spool clutch, walk the rope out to the load and attach the front hook, then re-engage the clutch, fit your drill to the drive socket and pull, keeping clear of the line and never straddling it. With synthetic rope, watch what the line is dragging across: grit and sharp edges are what wear it, so lay it over a strap or a sleeve where it crosses concrete or rock. Read the Warn Drill Winch operator's manual supplied in the box before the first use.

About Warn
Warn Industries has been building pulling and recovery equipment in the Pacific Northwest since 1948, when Arthur Warn started out converting surplus military Jeeps for road use with a locking hub of his own design. Those hubs turned into winches, and the winch business turned Warn into the name that off-roaders, ranchers, contractors and utility crews reach for when something has to be moved that will not move by hand.
Warn's utility line follows a simple idea the company sums up as work smarter, not harder: build tools that save time and labour so one person can do the work of two. The Drill Winch is the purest example of it. Rather than sell you another motor and another battery, it borrows the ones you already own and turns a cordless drill into a 750 lb pulling tool that fits in a tool bag. Same engineering discipline as the vehicle winches, aimed at a job that does not need a truck.
Prestige Truck is an authorized Warn dealer. Every winch and accessory we sell is new, factory-boxed, covered by the full Warn factory warranty, and supported through Warn's own dealer network.
