Lewmar 10 Inch Power Grip Winch Handle, One Touch Lock-in, Aluminum Alloy - 29140046

The Lewmar 29140046 is a 10 inch (250 mm) Power Grip winch handle built for sailboat winches, using Lewmar's One Touch lock-in mechanism so the handle inserts and releases from the winch top with a single squeeze of the release lever rather than a twist-and-pull motion. The handle body is made from aluminum alloy, giving it a lightweight feel at the helm while resisting corrosion in salt air and spray, an important factor for hardware that lives on deck and gets stowed wet after a sail. The Power Grip design gives the operator a wider gripping surface than a standard handle, which helps when cranking under load to trim sheets or bring in a halyard, reducing hand fatigue on longer grinds. Squeezing the release button engages the full length of the handle so it can be pulled straight out of the winch top without fighting a stuck lock, and the same motion re-engages it for storage or handoff to another crew member. As a Lewmar product, it is designed to pair with Lewmar winch tops that accept a standard lock-in handle socket. This is a handle only, sold to replace a lost, worn, or damaged winch handle, or to add a second handle aboard; it is not a full winch assembly. It ships as a single unit.
