Lewmar One Touch Winch Handle, 8 Inch Aluminum Locking Sailboat Winch Handle, 29141401BK

The Lewmar One Touch Winch Handle (29141401BK) is an 8 inch single-grip winch handle built for sailboat winches, designed to make inserting and releasing the handle fast and effortless. Instead of fighting an awkward locking lever, the One Touch mechanism lets you insert the handle and lock it into the winch with a single motion, then squeeze the release button to disengage the whole handle when you are done trimming or grinding.

The handle body is made from marine-grade aluminum alloy combined with a fiber composite, giving it the strength to handle real sailing loads while keeping weight down and resisting corrosion from ongoing exposure to saltwater and UV. The grip measures 8 inches, matching the standard length used on most cruising and racing sailboat winches, and the push-button lock engages the full handle so it stays securely seated in the winch drive socket while under load.

Because the release lever is squeezed rather than twisted or pried, one-handed operation is possible even when your other hand is on a sheet or the helm. Lewmar backs this winch handle with a three-year warranty, and as a long-established name in winches, hardware, hatches, anchoring, and windlass equipment, Lewmar builds this handle to the same standard as the winches it is designed to operate.
